eRumor:
Reverse Pin ATM Panic Code Police Alert

eRumor made by – Internet and social media

Confirmation by Ayupp.com – FAKE

More Samples – 

When a thief forced 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...

Eg: If your PIN is 1234, you punch 4321.

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 the police without the notice of the thief.

Every ATM has it; It is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this. SHARE THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS

Ayupp Analysis – The above message informs that if you reverse you enter your pin in reverse order then it acts a panic call. And the nearest police station will be alerted for your help.

Although the above message looks very simple and easy thing to implement. But it is matter of fact that none of the ATMs are ever equipped with such technology. Economic times has given details about this fake news. It is advised to call Police (100) or your relatives if possible instead of entering the pin in reverse order.

The police in Bangalore had launched an App to make distress call. You can install such apps for your help. http://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/technology/bangalore-police-launch-emergency-app-for-women-in-distress/57641784
