If anybody found him/herself in such situation (God forbid), the best thing is to do is to give out ur pin number as requested to avoid been attacked or killed but in reverse e.g. if ur ATM pin code is 1234 just tell them 4321, the ATM machines will still recognise the code as reversed at immediately activate an internal security system which notify the police, and also block ur account immediately after daily withdrawal limit has been reached.

Please stop spreading this ignorant nonsense.
My pin is in the format of xyyx, which means the reverse is the same. You copy and paste uneducated people should stop spreading misinformation and security risks around the country. I bet you type Amen and RIP on Facebook posts.
Nonsense angry

what happens if my pin is not reversible? Say 2112 or 4444? Anyways u might need to read ds quote from Diebold... A leading US ATM manufacture...

Diebold, a manufacturer of ATMs, states on their website that no such emergency alerting system is currently in use. They cite an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch which claims bankers oppose the reverse-PIN system out of concerns that "ATM users might hesitate or fumble while trying to enter their PINs backwards under duress, possibly increasing the chances of violence." Diebold further states that they would be willing to support such technology if their customers (presumably banks) request it

Op this things happens everywhere not Lagos alone.
We need to be careful
Armed robbery has taken a new dimension in Nigeria especially Lagos given the abundant ATMs in Lagos, Armed robbers now visit ATMs on Friday evenings so as to forcefully collect the ATM cards and PIN codes of customers... Learn to read between the lines.

If this is true then Union Bank customers can block their cards by using the number they used to open their accounts to text this code: BLOCKCARD>space>your account number to 20123 (BLOCKCARD 1234567890 to 20123)

You can also call Union Bank customer service on 07007007000 for help.

I'm sure other banks would have similar service you just need to find out.

Banks should publicise How to IMMEDIATELY BLOCK one's Card, in situation like this.

CBN should please look into this as our banks can become nonchalant.
There should also be a 24x7 help desk on "stolen, robbed or lost ATM cards" to BLOCK them immediately.

All banks have 24hrs customer service, if you find yourself in that situation all you need to do is call your bank to block your card.

If they have their numbers nah.

You can block your card/ account any day of the week. I have blocked a card on a sunday evening. Just call customer care e.g zenith direct.

I think future ATM machines should be redesigned in a way that a thumb print identification should be the first thing before inputting the PIN numbers. If the thumb print is rejected, you cannot proceed. Period.

Isn't this fantastic But what if the robbers read this article too ?

If a pin is 2345 for example and you tell them 5432... a smart guy could say i sabi am and reverse it back entering 2345 again..

Or wat do you think guys ? it's not a fool proof methodology for smart profs like us.. grin cheesy grin I hope i didnt just inspire someone in the reverse way o

This might warrant thieves cutting off the thumb of the victim an go along with it for further withdrawal. Naija thieves are heartless.

have encountered them more than three times, I simply gave my gadgets and money, believe me , each time I lost any will always get a beta one in less than a month.
I believe in the almighty God not in "God of chosen a.k.a God of Lazarus", he has been there for me, protected me more than u can comprehend.
I don't need to put on d green stuffs u guys believe dat it's bullet proof for his protection neither will I challenge an armed robber nor soak a white handkerchief in water wen sick.


U have been totally brainwashed. U need Jesus
