The ice-cold computer voice is back and unsettles WhatsApp users to the core - because what it has to say makes your blood run cold.

As BR24 informs, death threats are currently being sent again via voice messages on WhatsApp in the Bad Wörishofen area. Children between the ages of 10 and 15 are particularly affected.

The voice message is a death threat spoken by a computer voice. If the recipient does not forward the message to 20 people within 20 minutes, he and his mother will be killed. The threats are so specific and detailed that children continue to send the message out of fear.

We already had this chain letter on our radar August 2017

Unfortunately, these chain letters with threats of nocturnal visits and depictions of cold death threats achieve exactly what they are obviously intended to achieve: fear !

However, the current audio chain letter, which is available in a variety of forms and designs, has terrible content! It's no longer just about spreading the word, it's actually about creating and spreading fear. The scary messages and threats are concrete, backed up with alleged examples of murder, and intimidating.

What can I do against such chain letters?

Our tip:

We at mimikama recommend that you do not distribute .

Not spreading it has no negative consequences and nothing will happen!

It is important that you, as parents and also teachers, inform the children about these circumstances. Further dissemination only contributes to causing discomfort, fear and insecurity among other recipients and to keeping such messages alive over a long period of time, as can be seen from the current example.

How should you as a parent behave if your child has received such a message/chain letter?

Many children and young people cannot always classify this message as a joke or chain letter and actually feel threatened and frightened by the message.

  • Interrupt the chain letter and delete it.
  • Talk to your child about it and explain to your child that there are people who find it funny to scare other people.
  • Let your child know that you take your child's fears seriously, but also convey that this fear is unfounded.
