Pretexting

I wrote about the HP and the spying scandal yesterday. Now it seems the investigators HP hired illegally got a hold of the reporter’s phone records by pretexting or pretending they are someone else. This is sometimes illegal according to this article – and I am trying to understand when this is legal – seems like a no brainer that this is against the law.
