Hello list;

I am currently doing research on Social Engineering Attacks. Unlike the technical hack, I found that there is few useful and well documented SE attack examples on the Internet. So I decided to create a data set for SE attacks, and I am willing to publish it for free on the Internet.

However, I think only my own experience would not be able to make this dataset as comprehensive as possible. So I would like to ask for help on this list. If you think you have SE attack examples, you can email me. Of course for confidential reason you should not use the real name in your example. If you don't mind I will also publish your name along with the example you provided. Thanks a lot in advance. I hope this could be a step forwards in protecting against SE attacks.
