There is a text doing the rounds that will kill you if you open and read it. True Story.

The Egyptian government has been dragged into a rather bizarre situation in the country concerning a "killer SMS". Apparently there is a text message doing the rounds in Egypt from "unknown foreign quarters" which is rumoured to have killed those who have received it. However, such is the concern across the country that the Egyptian health and interior ministries have been forced to comment upon the SMS and confirm there is no truth in the rumours.
The Egyptian Gazette covered a story of a man in Mallawi, south of Cairo, who is said to have received the suspicious text and died vomiting blood followed by a stroke. This is said to have happened immediately after he read the text which is apparently made up of numbers and symbols. The government has also forced to deny media reports that those receiving the SMS receive "splitting headaches followed by a brain haemorrhage that leads to death".
While there is no scientific truth in any of the rumours doing the rounds this has not stopped the story from spreading to all areas of the country. In a separate development it was also revealed that the Egyptian interior ministry has arrested three workers from an oil company who are accused of starting the vicious rumours. The workers in question are being interrogated by the Egyptian authorities and we await the outcome of these discussions.
