ATMs are a great convenience, but they can compromise your safety. A robber looking for easy prey only has to stake out an ATM in a low-traffic, dimly lit area and bide his time.
Cash machines at banks are probably the safest bet, but that doesn't mean you have to steer clear of the ones at malls, airports and sports venues. You can avoid becoming a victim by using some good old common sense and by planning ahead for ATM withdrawals.

Some messages claim throughout the internet that if you are forced by robbers to withdraw money from an ATM, you can secretly alert police by entering your PIN in reverse.
The claims in the message are false. Reverse PIN technology does exist. However, it has not yet been implemented by any banks. At this time,entering your PIN in reverse will NOT call police. for more information read the brief article here.
