    If cash machines could do this why dont they call a service engineer when there broken or out of money or call the police when they are being vandalised?
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    Yeah right, 2 hours later or maybe the next day.

    Unless there is a PIN that is universally assigned to say the robbers have an out of date tax disc, or were doing 31 in a 30 before they came to rob you, in which case they would already be on their way before you could put in the last digit :rolleyes:

    Looks like it never became law in US..... http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/pinalert.asp

    Obvious spoof. The phrase "police will be immediately despatched" makes that most obvious!

    Call an engineer, they do report when they are in error;)

    Out of money again is reported:D

    And staff are called out to fix/fill them, especially during the holiday season:cool:
    Would someone like to point that out to my local TSB next time it breaks down on a weekend? It's the only free cash machine for 12 miles.

    The bank I work for have, over the last week, recieved quite a few calls about this as a result of a "posting on an internet website" :)

    They have confirmed that it is a hoex.

    My first ever "post"
    just been sent this e-mail myself thought it sounded strange esp as I have a 2 #
    repeating pin and have managed to put it in backwards myself several times. No flashing blue lights and
    no money just "incorrect pin" !
