About a couple of days ago, Indonesia’s cellphone users (later including Brunei) were shocked by such a terror via SMS. This terror, which later popular as “SMS Merah” or “Red SMS” or “Ring in Red” (in english) has surprisingly causing a physical attack that harmed its recipients. One of them is a man from West Sumatera, Indonesia which suddenly be unconscious after read this SMS via his mobile phone.

A group of people believe that this SMS was being sent by such black-magic wizard who just want to test his/her ability by using SMS as a medium. However, Indonesian police officer and most Indonesian, of course denied such mystical reason like this. They still considered this case as an issue in body health.

Here is the content of Ring in Red after being translated into english:

  “To all beloved friends. If you receive a call with long numbers, such as +62852731520946, in red, do not pick it up, as there is currently a group of Indonesian students, who are also black magic practitioners, testing their power via handphones. Whoever answers the call will start to foam in the mouth and die shortly afterwards. In Indonesia, there are already nine deaths, and last night, two more died in Puchong. These incidents happened. Please forward this message…”)
