One would think that a cursed phone number should at least contain 666, but apparently things are a little bit different in Bulgaria! While it would be tempting to have such an easy phone number as 0888 888 888 to tell your friends, it appears to be not very healthy.
First Bulgarian Mobitel CEO Vladimir Grashnov, died of cancer and, being vacant whent to an underworld figure who was gunned down in the Netherlands two years later. Again the cursed phone number was passed on, which resulted in the death of another crooked businessman. Two years later. Clearly the old “The best things come in threes“ does not apply here!
The phone number is not reachable anymore, lets hope it stays that way 😉 Kinda like “The Ring” but with a phone instead…
