Unsure if this is true but for all those who live in Hackney

Ooh cunning!

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)
you should ever be forced by a robber to
withdraw money from an ATM

machine,you can notify the police by entering your
Pin # in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you
would put in 4321. 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.

Please pass this along to everyone possible.

No way!! Is that really true??

[4getmenot]

What if it�s the same number in reverse, how do they recognise that, say if my pin was 2332

i don't believe its true, as police around hear don't come out for any sort of crime?

All jokes aside, it would'nt surprise me if it does exist.

Did you know that if you press 112 on any phone, it would be treated as an emergency call and you would be traced ie if a crime was being committed on a bus for example and you was discreet in putting 112 into your mobile {key locked or not} the police would trace you/phone to that location { this is throughout europe now} and will eventually replace the 999 service

The coppers would be around everytime I took money out of my boyfs account then because his is the same backwards.

Good idea though maybe they should develop something like that it would help alot of people. A help code for emergencies.

[mandimoo]

its not true

[spurslady]

I was going to put the 112 bit in too laurence2 great minds think alike, Not many people know about the 112 help number.

Isnt there a new one for help instead of the 999 for major emergencies is it 998?
