I have received an email from a friend that tells me that if a robber takes me to an cash machine and asks me to withdraw money, if I enter my PIN in backwards, the machine will recognise it, give me the money and alert the police. I am a bit sceptical and suspect that it may be set up in the US (if at all!). It sounds a good idea - but has anyone heard of/and/or tried it?
Being even more of a sceptic, my husband wonders how long it would take for the police to respond!
Naturally, if it is true, then we should all know about it - but if it isn't, it could be very dangerous to try it!
It was a bit difficult trying to find a category for this one!
