ATM Security

I dont know how true this is.... but thought to share it with EK

If you are ever forced by a thief or someone to take money out of an ATM machine, enter your pin number reversed. So if your number is 1254 mark 4521. The ATM machine will give you your money, but will automatically recognize this as a plea for help and will alert the police unknown to the thief. This option is in all ATM machines, but not many people know this. Please pass this information on to others. No harm in keeping this in mind !

well, if the thief wants all the money in the account, it wont be much of a help
But I dont think the machines are built to do this. It only increases the risk of revealing the PIN of a person. I mean, there will be 2 possible combinations

AFAIK there's a limit for withdrawals in a 24 hour period....
Like...depending on your account...Rs.50,000 / 30,000 or whatever....
So the thief won't be able to drain your account....lol

Also we'll hope that the thief hasn't seen this thread....
