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.


to the bad guys
Interesting, but FAKE!!!
