Received this e-mail today. Don't know if it's legit or not, but if not please don't shoot the messenger. If it is well it was worth posting:

KEEP THIS IN MIND

If you are ever forced by a thief or someone to take money out of an ATM machine, enter your pin number reversed.
So, if your number is 1254 enter 4521. The ATM machine will give you your money, but also automatically recognize this as a plea for help and alert the police unknown to the thief.
This option is in all ATM machines, but not many people know. Please pass this information on to others. No harm in keeping this in mind!
