Pretexting - the act of gaining data under false pretenses. Bills have been proposed to ban pretexting in the US Congress and California. It passed in California, but we'll have to wait until Congress reconvenes to find out if the law will gain national standing.
To clarify, the "California antipretexting law" (Senate Bill 202) will kick in Jan 1 and will cover telephone records of California citizens. The law prohibits the release of an individual's phone records to anyone but the original caller.
