How to avoid ATM theft

How to avoid ATM theft
If any robber catches you and you are forced by the robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police so smartly by entering your Pin Number 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 despatched to help you.

This information was recently a broadcast on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know of its existence.
