I'm going with Option B. Digging through someone's trash to get their bank information is a sneaky and underhanded way to obtain personal data, which is what pretexting is all about.

Option D is clearly the correct answer. Pretexting is the practice of using false pretenses to obtain someone's personal information, and falsely claiming to be a spouse to access bank records is a textbook example of that.

But what about making purchases with a credit card under a fictitious identity? Isn't that also illegal pretexting?

I agree with Vernice. That action definitely crosses the line.

I think withdrawing funds using a stolen bank account number and PIN would be illegal pretexting.
