Bluejacking and Bluesnarfing ? Here is a video demonstrating how
somebody can access your mobile and make calls also for free.

I think most more recent implementations of Bluetooth require a code number
to be entered at both ends to establish a connection, unless it is with
device the 'receiving' phone already 'knows', so this would not be possible
with except with fairly early bluetooth devices. Even so, I guess it is good
practice to keep your bluetooth turned off unless you need it. (saves
battery life too).
