Can a mobile phone number be cursed?

Owning the mobile phone number 0888 888 888 can be hazardous to your health. In Bulgaria, the first person to have the number was Bulgarian Mobitel chief executive Vladimir Grashnov, who died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 48. The number was then given to crime figure Konstantin Dimitrov, who was shot and killed in 2003. Businessman Konstantin Dishliev had the number next and was also gunned down in 2005. Now the number is unavailable for use.
