IMPORTANT INFO. FOR ATM USERS

I'm sure you're aware that ATM theft is on the rise and various tricks are being employed. Here is one to be aware of because it is so innocuous. The rouse goes something like this: The thief places a thin film inside the slits of the slotwhere the atm card is inserted. However the film has slots cut into it that trap the card when it's being returned. This prevents the card from coming out of the slot. And along comes the good samaritan who attempts to help you retrieve your card. This allows him or her to suggest you enter your pin number to attempt to retrieve it and because it does not work the unsuspecting customer leaves in frustration. At that point the good samaritain detaches the film and then uses the customer's pin to extract funds. Here'another of more forceful meansand if force is used do not argue or resist because you don't know what mght hapen. In this type of circumstanceall you need to do is punch your pin in the reverse. Example: If your pin is 5421, you should punch in 1245. The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out but will be stuck in the machine half way out and it will alert the police without the thief ever knowing it. Every ATM this feature. It is designed to signify DANGER AND HELP.
