It's funny:  I've worked at several firms (that shall go nameless) over
the last couple of decades that engaged the services of outsourced
Internet firms to contact employees from external-to-the-firm e-mail
addresses and advise them to visit some external Web site and enter
sensitive or personal information there.  In every case, I've politely
inquired with my management if said contact from nobody-in-particular
reflected any directive from management, and then tried very hard to
conceal my scorn when the answer translated to 'Oh, yes, I guess we 
forgot to tell you that.'
