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.
