ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know

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 system 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 the location. This information was recently
broadcasted on CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don't
know about it.

It is a fact!

It all started when I used to work alongside a guy called Harvey Stephens in the futures market. Many years earlier he had played the little boy in the movie - The Omen.

I had an order for a customer, to sell very large, saw Harvey out of the corner of my eye and then showed the pit 666 lots!

The rest is history.
