My Nan in the States fowarded me an e-mail that she had sent to EVERYONE on earth, titled
"PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)"
After scrolling through thousands of recipients I got to this piece of advise;
'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 recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.'

Can you imagine that?
Whilst being held at knife/gun point trying to think of your pin backwards...
'Shit what is it, I wish I was ortistic' - BANG
too late oh well at least I saved £300
Thanks Nan.

haha, my boss once sent an email someone sent him about "don't drink cans of coke because they might have rat poison on them and someone I know died from this so it's true"
It was so obviously a chain letter, I copied some of the text of the email into google and obviously snopes came up, so I sent the whole company the link, made him look like the moron he is! yay!
