doughboy1956 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Re: Did you know this?? Shaun i had the same e-mail and looked it up...... Use Reverse PIN # to Contact Police in ATM Emergency Netlore Archive: Email rumor claims ATM users can contact police in the event of an attempted robbery by entering their PIN in reverse Description: Email rumor Circulating since: October 2006 Status: False Analysis: See below Comments: False, for now. The technology exists which would allow ATM users to contact police in an emergency by punching in their PIN (personal identification number) in reverse, but as of this writing it has not yet been implemented anywhere in the United States. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_reverse_pin.htm#note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: Did you know this?? That would be interesting if it were true, but dont see how it could be being that we have in the past had pin numbers such that they were the same forward or reverse.

birddog Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: Did you know this?? Not ture, as a matter of fact my pin is the same forward or back!!!! I have another pin that I have sometimes reversed just because I forget it...... Anywho, this is not a true fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
