Thanks to last year?s scandal at Hewlett-Packard, consumers learned how easily private investigators can trick companies into divulging personal information. Now, thanks to a new federal indictment full of data theft allegations, we know they also can trick the IRS and the Social Security Administration into handing over information.

Ten suspects were indicted last week in Seattle for allegedly impersonating consumers and obtaining their bank records, tax returns and Social Security earnings statements.

According to the indictment, the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration were repeatedly tricked into coughing up very sensitive documents. In one case, the IRS gave a defendant nearly 10 years worth of tax records, the indictment alleges. In another, a suspect allegedly obtained tax records by claiming his accountant had recently been fired for embezzlement and the information was needed for verification purposes.

In all, 12,000 consumers were victimized by the defendants from 2004-2007, the indictment alleges.
