I wrote a post about this in April of 2004 on my first identity theft blog, scamsafe.com. You can find the pretext article here.

What I cannot for the life of me understand is how consumers are not frustrated enough with pretexting to take action against it! Here, there are groups who make millions from selling our own personal information to other sources without our permission, and we simply allow it. What people must realize is that we have a right to keep our own personal information just that, 'our own personal information', and that there are methods through which this can quite easily and inexpensively be done. http://www.essentialsecurity.com/Documents/TaceoWP.pdf
