helpful tip, did you know this?

here is something I would guess, most people don't know. if someone ever tries to rob you, and force you to use your debit card to draw money from an ATM machine. when you enter your pin number, enter it in reverse order. like if your pin is 2929 enter 9292 and this will alert the police, that you are being robbed. it will still give you the money, but will call the cops at the same time. hope you or anyone in your family never have to deal with this, but it is something all family members should know.

According to Snopes this is false.

Tried it, didn't work. I even had my boy to punch in 5555?
