How hard would it be to figure out if 'the phone call' could exist? The call that, upon hearing of it you drop dead or become insane. Sort of a real-world SnowCrash. After all, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that someone already weakened would get a heart attack as a result of the effect you describe.

'Murder by telephone', only then without a device, just a text.
