I've read this article in my father's email (of course he knows about this,what do you think i am? a hackers? LOL) The article told about how to protect yourself from robbery at the ATM ( Automated Teller Machine) by using ecurity system that already exists since 2004 but we does not realize about it. You will totally shock after read all the article below and i hope you will use the system when you are in the trouble.
p/s: kids,don't play play with this system ha..Police will arrest you..hehe
This hoax email message informs recipients that, in an event of a robbery that
forces the victim to withdraw money from their ATM, the police can be secretly
alerted by entering the PIN in reverse.
There are claims that this kind of technology does exist; however, most banking
institutions have not implemented it, therefore, the chances of the victim
alerting the police by entering their PIN in reverse is apparently slim.
Joseph Zinger, the man behind the idea, has developed an ATM software called
SafetyPIN back in 1994. And since then, he had been attempting to sell the idea
to US banks but without success. In 2004, legislation was passed in the state of
Illinois requesting banks to use the said technology, though it is not a
requirement.
The move in implementing this reverse PIN security scheme is still ongoing;
however, it is not advisable to abide by such an advice, since the possibility
of trying out this method on banks without the system installed could further
endanger the lives of the victims, as it could cause withdrawal delay. This
gives criminals enough reason for further implication of violence.

Subject: Reverse pin number to call police
I just found out that should you ever be forced to withdraw monies from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. The
machine will still give you the monies you requested, but unkown to the robber,
etc, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you. The broadcast stated
that this method of calling the police is very seldom used because people don't
know it exists. It might mean the difference between life & death. Hopefully,
none of you will have to use this, but I wanted to pass it along just in case
you hadn't heard of it. Please pass it along to everyone possible.
