Reversed Pin Number Security System
 
I received an email from a friend of mine, and it says that there is such a security system that exists. Apparently, when you are at an ATM and you are being threatened by someone who wants you to withdraw all your money and give it to him, you key in your pin number in reversed order i.e. 1234 becomes 4321, and the internal security alarm will ring. The ATM will still give you the money, while the police make their way to the ATM that you are at, and arrest the thief.

I found it very interesting, and tried to check out on the internet regarding this. But sadly, it is a fake system. The idea was there, but was not implemented. Imagine what happens if it is actually implemented in Singapore? It sounds like a good system to me.

But if the victim happens to have a pin number like 111111, then good luck to him.

And also, when you are being threatened at gunpoint whatsoever, will you be able to think calmly and try to enter your pin number in reversed order? Doesn't sound like an easy job to me. If I were the victim, I might even have troubles entering my actual pin number correctly!

Honestly, wouldn't luring the thief to be able to be spotted by the security camera be the best solution?
