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.
