So you want to run a Social Engineering test on your User base...If I was one of them, and I detected this, I would no 
longer be one of them...at the very least, if an admin did that, i would never EVER trust them again.

Just looked up your business, are you purposely trying to lose your client base??! They are your CLIENTS...Bad idea 
man, bad idea.

We all know our weak link but how do you identify just how weak they are? I 
think it's time to pen test my user community and have a couple ideas to gather 
statistics on just how nonaware they really are. Maybe a simple phishing scam 
and bogus email with a fake virus attachment that emails me when it's opened so 
I can track how many folks actually opened it.  Has anyone ever done this 
before? I can't find any information about it on the web.. thoughts and ideas 
anybody?

Many thanks

Kurt
