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 No. 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 broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

Course with our Police, rigor mortis will have set in before they turn up.

oh that's cool

does that happen in the us as well?

now that it's better known won't the robbers just watch people enter their pins and prevent them from entering it backwards?

I might try it on the way home, I'll hide behind a tree and see if the boys in blue turn up

Doubt it. They split up. Simon Webbe has a solo album out apparantly.

UPDATE - Apparently it's an urban myth!!!

Damn

Whats the Trafford Centre story?

White man sees Muslim drop a wallet packed with cash. White man tells Muslim. Muslim thanks him profusely. White man starts to walk off. Muslim runs after him. Muslim warns him to stay away from the Trafford Centre on a certain date.

The variations on this story that I've heard are unbelievable. Every story teller shakes visibly when telling it

Oh and it's always their friends relative

Oh yeah, I've heard that story a few times - replacing Trafford Centre with other public places

well it's not completely an urban legend it seems just looks like this technology is available but no one wants it :P maybe that's where the urban legend came from

What happens if your pin number is 1221 or 2002 etc?

you die...

or you can't have palindromes as pins :P

I think it'd be funnier if people have words as pins like they do in the us. "How the fuck do i spell BOOT backwards and what numbers do they go to???" and then they got shot while they stand there trying to figure it out

interesting concept.
