Supposedly, 11 people in Khomas, Namibia have already died after receiving calls from one of the numbers. The message begs you to save souls by sharing the information with everyone you know.<\/p>\n<p>The message \u00a0also warns that you should not accept a video titled &#8216;the dance of the Pope&#8217; because it is a virus that will format your mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the claims in the supposed warning are fanciful nonsense. Nobody in \u00a0Khomas or anywhere else in the world has died just from receiving a phone call or text message.  \u00a0 Not surprisingly, there are no credible news or police reports that support the claims in the message in any way \u00a0whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>This is not \u00a0the first hoax that has falsely claimed the people had died after receiving a &#8216;killer&#8217; text message or call. Back in 2009, a message \u00a0circulating in Egypt warned \u00a0that people had suffered fatal brain hemorrhages after receiving a mobile phone text message. The <a title=\"Killer Text Message Hoax\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/sms-death-hoax.shtml\">bogus warning<\/a> \u00a0caused so much concern in the community that the Egyptian government was compelled to officially quell the rumours. A <a title=\"Deadly Mobile Phone Virus Hoax\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/killer-mobile-phone-calls-hoax.shtml\">similar hoax message<\/a> circulated in Pakistan in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>These nasty and pointless prank messages cause unnecessary fear and alarm in communities and waste the \u00a0time of police and government agencies who must calm the fears of concerned members of the public.<\/p>\n<p>And, the warning about the &#8216;dance of the Pope&#8217; virus is <a title=\"'Dance of The Pope' Phone Virus Hoax\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/dance-of-the-pope-phone-virus-hoax.shtml\">also a hoax<\/a> that has been circulating for several months as a separate \u00a0message.  \u00a0There is no virus like the one described in the message. \u00a0It appears that the prankster who created the &#8216;satanic agents&#8217; warning has simply tacked on the fake &#8216;Dance of The Pope&#8217; virus warning for good measure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A later version of the hoax claims that the deaths occurred in Johannesburg and actually names a person as the supposed satanic agent. Of course, this version is just as absurd &#8211; and untrue &#8211; as its predecessor. But, this version is perhaps even worse than the original in that it unfairly maligns and could have a detrimental impact on the person it \u00a0identifies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7457\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/satanic-agents-looking-for-blood-whatsapp-warning-hoax\/satanic-agnents-2017-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,361\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"satanic-agnents-2017-4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4-300x135.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7457\" src=\"https:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4.jpg\" alt=\"Satanic Agents Hoax Post\" width=\"800\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4-768x347.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4-500x226.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/satanic-agnents-2017-4-585x264.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: \u00a0April 11, 2017<br \/>\nFirst published: November 26, 2015<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
