A strange request

Yesterday I received a strange request on my blog and by email to help find a “long-lost friend”.

Hi there !
I need your help. I´m looking for a good old friend from school (São Paulo, Brazil) who went back to Taipei – TW long time ago. I have her name and last address. Is there a tool that I can use to find her again ? phone book, address book ? could you please help me ?? I´ve tried the internet but was not successful. Tell me how and where I can look for this friend, please ! you´re there in Taiwan, there must be a way to locate a person there ! please help me !!

Name removed (approx. 44 years), married a doctor and has a child of approx. 21 years
and last address
Address removed
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks a million !!!

My question is what do people think about this?  If you are an ex-pat (of any country) would you want a stranger looking up your information?  Unfortunately, I wouldn’t know how to find someone here, I can’t read Chinese, but on principle, I am uncomfortable in finding information like this because of all the stories I read about internet stalkers and such.  What are your thoughts?
