What about the phone companies ??
How secure do you now feel that any numbskull the with last four digits of your SS number can call up AT&T or Verizon and get your pst few month's phone records??

Pretexting is just a form of Social Engineering which any dexent customer service rep should be trained to avoid. Without some multiple-check system to ensure true identity, NO public company should release private info.

Try this in a hospital where HIPPA regulations are in place. Good luck getting someone else's MEDICAL records, because these people are TRAINED and DRILLED to guard that stuff. Sometimes legislation makes for better employees, and more privacy for us all !!
