Don’t do this!
I repeat,
Don’t do this!
The ATM Safety Pin software developed by Joseph Zingher IS NOT IN USE anywhere. Entering your pin backward will not dispense money or notify the police. What it might do is put you at risk of further angering the perpetrator and being injured.
All ATM’s take pictures at predetermined intervals.
From Standard Bank, “There has been an email doing the rounds claiming that all ATMs have the emergency alert function that if you are held up, you can simply punch your PIN in reverse and this will alert the police. Please be aware that this information is false and there isn?t an ATM in the world that offers this service or has this functionality.”
