Descripción
En noviembre de 2002 comenzó a circular este mensaje por Inglaterra pidiendo
ayuda para detener un violador en serie.
Existen diferentes versiones del mensaje, la mayoría incluye un archivo adjunto
con un retrato robot (diferente del que fue distribuido por la policía de Surrey).
Hasta ahora no se ha visto ninguna versión de esta carta en cadena con un archivo
adjunto infectado. De cualquier manera, Sophos recomienda cautela antes de enviar
este tipo de mensajes si no puede verificar la autenticidad de la información.
Sería más conveniente incluir un enlace la página Web de la policía en la que
se ofrece información detallada.
El texto es el siguiente:
We have been asked to distribute this message as widely as possible. So
here goes...
The Chief Constable of Surrey Police has asked each officer to distribute this
email in an effort to prevent further serious offences involving the serial
rapist that has been widely reported on local and national news. Last week in
the Bracknell News it was reported that the offender may be linked to recent
offences in Bracknell, Berkshire. It is requested that you forward the email to
friends and relatives who may be vulnerable. OPERATION ORB Police are working
hard to catch a serial rapist who has now struck nine times, eight of those
over the past three months. His victims are women and girls aged between 10 and
52 years old. In Surrey he has committed offences in Epsom, Redhill and the
Woking area. The offender takes considerable risks, attacking his victims on
well-used public footpaths or common land adjacent to nearby wooded areas,
mostly during daylight hours. Police are asking everyone to be vigilant and not
put themselves in unnecessary danger by walking alone in the type of locations
that the rapist uses. The offender approaches his victims from behind and has
targeted cyclists as well as females wearing headphones.
The rapist is described as a white male, aged between 30 and 50 years old, with
short dark hair, of medium height with a muscular build and rough, tanned skin.
If you see anyone matching this description acting suspiciously, or
threateningly towards you, please contact your local police or ring
