If in range they might well be able to do,Its a radio link and other bluetooth are receivers.
It's called 'bluejacking' - try Google and here:-

How to do it!! (Just so you know what they're doing)

If you enable Bluetooth, make it require a password. If anyone tries to get it, you'll be asked to allow it.

Howver, I haven't looked at bluejacking in detail, maybe the software they use can get round these precautions - you'll just have to read up on it.
Sorry, that should read "if anyone tries to get IN"
