The Stress Button/Panic Button provides needed safety factor while at a remote or deserted ATM.
New York, NY, December 2, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Have you ever experienced a moment of panic? Hopefully it is only a moment because panic is debilitating and saps the energy—just as does fear. Fear is an emotion induced by a threat which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behavior such as running away, hiding or freezing from a potential traumatic event. Fear is related to anxiety, dread, panic and similar emotions. When at an ATM this new product (provided for customers by the financial institution) gives the user the ability to secretly call for help from law enforcement officials. This is a vital component to one's personal safety. Why? Because while withdrawing cash from an ATM one cannot hide or run away.
The Stress Button/Panic Button is an alert button that, when activated by the machine user, immediately sends a silent alarm to a 911 dispatch center or directly to police headquarters should one find herself or himself at the mercy of a robber; or even if spotting something suspicious nearby. Pressing the button sends the alert to law enforcement and in this manner, the criminal is none the wiser and the victim is able to avoid provoking the potential robber into an action which could easily have a detrimental effect. Televised test marketing has been completed indicating exceptional consumer interest in the Stress Button/Panic Button.
"Crime today is prevalent just about wherever one goes and when obtaining cash from a remote ATM, one must be super cautious. The Stress Button/Panic Button solves many problems and allows the user to alert police in a simple manner without alerting the suspicious individual. It works."
Karen Fernandes and Charles Pitts, Inventors
The Patent Pending Stress Button/Panic Button was invented by Karen Fernandes and Charles Pitts of Mattapan, MA who said, “The ability to silently notify law enforcement when faced with danger at an ATM is a safety feature that certainly would give financial institutions brand loyalty. Not only should it cut down on theft—saving money for the consumer and the bank—it could actually save someone's life. It works!”
