Why not visit your local police department? They've been dealing with
this issue for the last 2000+ years?

Subject: Social Engineering Data set

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.
