Interesting spear fishing type attack

One of the guys I work with got an email from a person he used to know
real well years ago.  The email claimed that the person was stuck in
the UK and needed money to come back home to the states.  I thought
this was an interesting angle.  Identify and research your target (as
usual), but instead of looking for current group memberships or
vendors you search classmates.com or other reunion type social
networking sites and craft an email using someone they used to go to
school with.  Obviously this did not work on my coworker, but I
thought the list would find it interesting.
