RBeron's Tip To All Mylot Members For Coming Holiday!Must Read!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 272 out of 32,760 in mylot.com2 months ago

Hello everyone!It's been quite a while that i was not able to post some tips
and advices in the site due to the problem with my computer, now it's quite
okay, I am here again to give you some tips. This time, it is no longer
on how you will increase your earnings to the site. Now, it is all about
your safety and security. It is already November, just month to go and its
already Holiday Season. Since recession is observe in all places, a lot of
crimes is possible to happen such as snatching, holdap and many more. I just want
to share something to all of you, which I believe this will be helpful to you,this
has already been experienced and it was successful. Since it is holiday season, we
use to withdraw money through ATM or a machine, without knowing that there is a
criminal at our back or at our side, with a knife, asking us to give him the money
or the pin of your card.Now, I have a simple tip for you, this has already been
experience by my officemate. When you were ask to give out the pin number, give him the reverse order of your pin. Just for instance, your pin number is 1234, give him
4321, there will be a money that will come out, but will just stop in the mouth of the machine where the money comes out, you will not get the money since you will see
just a portion of the money, but it can't be get.So the criminal will just go away and panic, this is real story. i hope this will help you!!

This is a well-known urban myth. I'd like to bet that your office mate never actually tried it - he was just passing on what he'd read or heard.

If you don't believe me, take a look here: http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/pinalert.asp


myLot reputation of 87/100. owlwings (5373)   ranked 674 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  2 months ago

OK, to be accurate, it's a variation on a well-circulated urban myth. This is what happens to myths in the oral tradition.


myLot reputation of 75/100. rameshkumaar57 (1831)   ranked 3,038 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Wow, that is a super link you have given owl wings. I just read the complete article, and have come to the conclusion, nothing is going to happen even if the myth is correct. One the robbers would have got away long before the police turn up, and two if the money is not coming out the robbers may turn on their victims, and they might even kill them for this.

hhmmm nice link!thumbup
seems that someone will read an article somewhere else on the internet, newspaper or magazine then claim that it's their own experience just to tell a story to their friends or officematesthumbdown

What a sucker... doh


myLot reputation of 96/100. corrycrystal (1117)   ranked 5,782 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  2 months ago

After reading through the article from the link provided by Owlwings, I must agree that it's very clear that your office mate has been passing you some false information.

It does make sense that it will take me some time to remember my pin number backwards even when there's no gun on my head. shocked And what if my pin number is 909909... So, how can I reverse it?? blink

Anyway, thanks for the link, Owlwings! thumbup

I agree with the links that "owlwings" given. I think getting cash from ATM will depends on us and there are many places were ATM machine are secure and safe. Here in our cities I never heard individuals being holdup getting cash from ATM machine. I think this is only happen in other countries were crime rate is very high.


myLot reputation of 77/100. rangerkoji (116)   ranked 11,989 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Trust reborn. Hes been my friend for a while and all his tips helped me. He even helped me earn alot but since I didnt log into mylot for 6month, I lost all my earnings. But I think telling the pin backward is stupid.... Honestly if he gets it wrong, the chance is that the criminal will stab you and no more holiday for you. You can celebrate a funeral instead of Christmas

Are you sure about this information rberon1985. If it is real, it is a good piece of information. I hope the same rules follows through out the world.


myLot reputation of 87/100. owlwings (5373)   ranked 674 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  2 months ago

It's not real (see the link in my response above). The very simple way to prove it is to actually type in your pin in reverse yourself. Don't try this more than two times in succession, though. Three incorrect PINs in a row usually cause the ATM to retain your card or to invalidate it.

Hi rberon,

I too have come across this rumor and it is not true and no one have ever done that. As owlings said, the co-worker just would have spread a false news on this regard. In our bank system the statement came to all the account holders that it was not true....

Cheers... Have a nice day always.... thumbup

I actually don't know whether this tip is true or false but then, I rarely use the ATM machine anyway. What I do instead because it is a bit safer is use my debit card when I shop the majority of the time. If I know that I am going to need cash at some point during that day or the following day, I will add to the total at the store and take cash out with my purchase. This way I never find myself at an ATM machine after it is dark. I feel much safer doing things this way.

lolhello rberon,

busted!rasp but i guess some mylotters do have a strong photographic memory with regards to tips. that would have worked but there is a flaw in this tip, what if the criminal instead prefer "you" should give use the credit card and withdraw money so that he/she would be sure that the money is received. that trick is old, my advice is Don't bring cards on holidays, nor go out to withdraw, maybe bring a ton of family members to cover you up when you withdraw. better yet, just put your money under your shoe (shoe should be old and rusty) or underwear (money should be in plastic). thumbup.

Hi,thanks for suggestion and sharing the experience.Fortunately in India,there is no recession effect,even traces are there here the joint family system suppot them in terms of money,shelter,food ..everything..so there is no relation to recession and crimes.
In general those are occur and we will be careful after reading your experience.
All the beast and take care.

hi rberon1985 good idea but what if the criminal does
not panic and run away. the best idea is not to use
the atm machine unless its direct daylight and a lot of
other people are around, don't go alone after dark, better
to risk that at all.


myLot reputation of 77/100. rangerkoji (116)   ranked 11,989 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I know just use Credit card... There is always a credit card!!! Seriously, everyone has credit card and credit card can get you out of danger. I think ATM is too risky because some people will kill you for money...

I am happy for you are coming back again. Thanks for your great tips.

With the slump of the economics around the world, the crime rate is increasing all the time and it seems that we have to face various dangers, expecially in such a coming holiday. When it comes to your tips, I have to say that I haven't seen such a great tip when we meet the robbers. It is obvious that I will share the tip with my friends and family, which will be an amazing thing.

If I have met criminal who asks me to give him the money or the pin of my card, I will follow yout tips. Thanks a lot.

Hi getbrowser,

Before you go and tell your family and friends please read the rest of the responses above you..this is a false statement about putting your pin number in backwards. It is not true and I don't want to see you or your family get hurt so go back and read the other responses in this discussion. Have a good one..Kashmere!

Well, the most secure thing that people have to remember is basically to be careful whenever withdrawing and avoid doing that unless you have made sure that the place is secure. Prevention is still the best way to save yourself!


myLot reputation of 77/100. rangerkoji (116)   ranked 11,989 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I agree. Using an ATM machine out in the open is like saying "please take my money" I would go to an aTM machine in a mall, or crouded places, or if there is a Police officer near by.
