bongo = text 433

[donquixotenz]

I am not sure where best this fits and this seemed the nearest but I wonder if someone here can fill me in on a small conundrum that a couple of friends have recently experienced.
friend: is told of a site called bongo, text; 433 on her cell phone where she could ask what was known about by inputing anybodies cellphone number and they would get a text back about where that person has been and what they have been doing...........It costs $3.00 a pop.
She decides to try it out and puts in the name of a friend of hers.
She duly gets a text with some seen there info which she checks out with her friend and it unsetlingly accurate.........

Which prompts my igrorance to ask the following questions.

does anybody know anything about this crowd?
Any guesses as to where they get this info?
Do you find this a worry?
