Hi DV'ers, I haven't been here for quite some time now (and I really missed it )

I recently got an email from a friend and thought of sharing this here. I know most of you already know about this cause it has been in circulation for the past days.

Here it goes:

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcast on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

I just want to ask your views, opinions, violent reactions on this.
