In the spite of armed robbery, there is something that you may really need to know.
HOW TO DO IT?
- When a thief forces you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist, you might not know what he or she might do to you.
- What you should do is to punch your pin in the reverse, i.e. if your pin is 1254, you punch 4521.
- The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out but will be stuck into the machine half way out and it will alert police without the notice of the thief.
In 1994 Joseph Zingher from Chicago began to developing the ATM software that would silently call police if pin is entered in reverse order. Zingher, a former member of the U.S. Army Military Police, got the idea for Safety PIN in 1994, when he needed cash in a bad part of town. He paid $500 to a computer science major to write the simple code that would recognize reversed, inverted or otherwise altered PIN as a distress signal, and instructed the teller machine to call the cops. He filed for a patent the same year.
