Can anyone confirm this. I don't believe it, but it has been making the rounds of the internet. We have all heard about people being forced to take money out of their ATM, by force from a robber. Supposedly, if you enter your PIN in reverse (4321 as opposed to the correct number of 1234), the ATM recognizes that the PIN is in reverse and will give you the money, but the police will be dispatched to help you. This is great, but is true??

I have honestly never heard of this but if it is not so they should do something like it to help when in need.

This is one of many internet hoaxes that are floating out here in cyberspace.

One suggestion is not to keep a lot of money in that account in the first place.
That way, if it happens to you, you won't lose much at all.
