Buy fancy mobile numbers, choose fancy numbers for your vehicles and the house you live? For chinese, number '8' is the most prosperous one and they would like to get '8' in their car numbers etc., but it seems '8' is not a good number for Bulgarians.
Consider this twice next time when you are buying some new thing. This is a Bulgarian mobile number (0888 888 888) which killed all its owners and the mobile company suspended this number forever as it is causing deaths of whom the number has been assigned to.

three men who were assigned the phone number have died within a span of 10 years.
Vladimir Grashnov – the former CEO of Bulgarian mobile phone company Mobitel – died of cancer in 2001 aged just 48.
Konstantin Dimitrov - Bulgarian mafia boss - in year 2003 he died aged 31, had the mobile with him when he was shot while eating out with a model.
Konstantin Dishliev – Business Man - an estate agent, had secretly been running a massive cocaine trafficking operation before his assassination in 2005.
Callers now get a recorded message saying the phone is "outside network coverage."
A Mobitel spokesman would only say: "We have no comment to make. We won't discuss individual numbers."
