Bluejacking

Sending a message from your Bluetooth phone or PDA to a nearby stranger who also has a Bluetooth device. Bluejacking is used to flirt with someone ("I like the way you look") or play a practical joke ("somebody just ran away with your package"). It is also used to exploit a Bluetooth user in some fashion by requesting that a response or some action be taken similar to phishing. See Bluesnarfing, Bluespamming, Bluebugging, Car Whisperer and Phishing.
