Pre-Scanning for Marketing

["Password Crackers, Inc." <pwcrack () pwcrack com>]

I am interested if anyone on the list has ever tested or implemented a
marketing program that involved pre-scanning (wired or wireless) a prospect
and then sending a letter or email describing potential vulnerabilities and
offering assistance in closing these vulnerabilities.  I have never done
this because of the anticipated negative reaction, but I am curious as to
what the outcome was if anyone else has done it.  Single instances would be
interesting, but I am more curious if anyone has implemented this in a more
broad-based way and has positive and/or negative response rate statistics.
