Assuming that a jurisdiction has prohibited pretexting with financial institutions, which of the following actions would constitute illegal pretexting?
A.
Falsely claiming to be the spouse of an account holder to access bank records
B.
Digging through a person’s trash to obtain their bank account information
C.
Making purchases with a credit card account under a fictitious identity
D.
Withdrawing another person’s funds using a stolen bank account number and PIN
Pretexting involves using false pretenses or impersonation to gain access to someone else’s nonpublic personal information, often from financial institutions. In jurisdictions where pretexting is prohibited, posing as someone else (e.g., a spouse or relative) to obtain bank details is considered illegal.
