Crime preventing method - ATM Machine trick!

Another thing that’s being happening to many people are being forced to withdraw money from a bank ATM machine by a robber. Most of the victims are women but mens are not safe either. But most of them does not know that they can trap the robber by doing this very simple trick.

thief or Robber get cought

If 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 actually broadcast-ed on TVmany times (But I haven’t seen any of them here at Malaysia..Hurm…) but this trick was seldom used since not many people that are aware about this. Erm..And maybe because people cannot test the trick themselves too? Anyone tried this trick? Please share your experience.

So now you know the trick and please pass this along to everyone else. Just like I said in my previous post of “Tips - Making phone stealer feel stupid” If all of us know any tricks to do to get thief or robbers get caught, we might reduce the number of crime that happens everyday.

P/s : I found this interesting blog which contain listing MALE & FEMALE Procedures at ATM machine.
