    No. Bluetooth is a standard for the short-range wireless interconnection of mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices, but Bluejack is is a hacking method that allows an individual to send anonymous messages to Bluetooth-enabled devices within a certain radius. Bluetooth is the system used to Bluejack a phone.

    If the bluetooth is turned off, can I still bluejack my victim?

    No, it'd be like trying to make a phone call with airplane mode on. It won't work with no connection.
