I had recd similar mail yesterday from a friend and replied him:

This is not true. This message contains wrong information and it should not
be forwarded. The Technology is actually available for ATMs but is not being
used by banks in India or World over.  If and when banks begin to install
'reverse pin' technology at ATMs it is sure to be well publicized. If your
own bank begins using such a system, it will almost certainly let you know
about it directly.
Until then however, forwarding this message is ill advised. Since it is
extremely unlikely to work, the "advice" in this message could actually be
dangerous. Forcing a victim to withdraw money from an ATM is a high-risk,
violent crime. If a victim enters a reverse pin at an ATM that does not have
the safety pin system installed, he or she will receive an error message and
no money will be dispensed. This delay could antagonize the criminal and
increase the risk of violent retaliation. Why don't you try it. It will tell
you invalid password!
