no because of the atm only knows what pin belongs to what card if you enter the wrong pin to many times your card stops working. there is no way to tell if you accidentely put in the wrong pin of if you did it on purpose. There is no line between the atm and the police station. and jus think about how many false alarms the police would have to answer because some one was in a hurry and entered the number wrong

Absolutely NOT.
It is a load of rubbish. think about it. If your PIN number was 1111 or 9119 how would the ATM machine know that you were putting your pin number in reverse.

I am not entirely sure what you are talking about quite honestly.
Police don't have the resources to respond to someone "thinking". However, if you are in real danger, I would suggest that you call 999. I don't believe the ATM is capable of summoning the police!

No, this is not the case.
Even if you call 999 (the UK emergency number) they will assess the need and may not come if you are too low down the list of priorities and resources are stretched.
Usually if the perps. (police slang) are still about, or if life is at risk, your call will be afforded a high priority.

If you typed your number in revers you would't get any money from the ATM so you wouldn't be mugged, Sorted.

No, but if you type your pin number in wrong 3 times then it will be blocked.

I would think they would question you
if you stayed there at the atm a little
longer than usual.
