Liar, Liar, and pretexting
by Mark Rasch
2006-09-19

Mark Rasch details the legality of pretexting by putting it in context
with how it used, comparing it with legal forms of lying, and by looking
at previous court cases involving pretexting in the United States.
Hewlett Packard's use of pretexting also brings up potential charges of
criminal fraud, violations of consumer protection laws, issues of
deception, and the use of spyware. Together these issues make for a very
interesting legal situation at HP.
