There are a variety of ways that someone can get access to another person's personal information without their knowledge or permission, including: hacking into databases where the person's information is stored; purchasing the person's information from illicit datasets; stealing a purposely unguarded physical document with thepersonal information on it; social engineering by impersonating the person and asking another entity (e.g., bank or government agency) to provide the requested information; getting creative with public records laws in order to acquire certain pieces of info, such as address and phone number; and using pretexting techniques to get a trusting conversation going and then extracting desired data. Pretext phoning allows someone - generally a telemarketer -to call people pretending to be from an organization or institution the target has legitimate contact with such as customer service for their utility company.
