Note that you can use the "People Nearby" feature and send them messages.
But in the background, the system never forwarded the messages.

I suspect we are not even visible in the "nearby" to be discovered by others - I had tested with the 2 accounts I have; and also with a Singapore friend travelling with me.
If we are visible to people in the nearby feature, I am sure we will get lots of friend requests from pimps.
