Cool then tell us what the Mac address. 73 51 99 50 b2 47 is registered to, as the 73 number seems to be the most prevalent. Please also state how you come to the conclusion of the above address.

In my job, I scan for MAC addresses several times a week. This is utterly not true.
Not a single mac / Bluetooth id from anyone who’s vaccinated.
And I am vaxed (with much regret).
Bluetooth Addresses and Names Every single Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit address, commonly abbreviated BD_ADDR. This will usually be presented in the form of a 12-digit hexadecimal value. The most-significant half (24 bits) of the address is an organization unique identifier (OUI), which identifies the manufacturer. The lower 24-bits are the more unique part of the address.
If your phone is scanning for Bluetooth signals and picks up signals that are labeled as "unassigned," it suggests that these signals lack properly configured or recognizable MAC addresses. This scenario could occur due to various reasons:
1. Malfunctioning or non-standard devices: Some devices may not properly adhere to Bluetooth standards, leading to the broadcast of signals without valid MAC addresses.
2. Software or firmware issues: There might be bugs or glitches in either your phone's Bluetooth scanning software or in the firmware of the devices emitting the signals. These issues could cause MAC addresses to appear as "unassigned."
3. Unauthorized or unsupported devices: It's possible that the devices emitting the signals are either unauthorized or unsupported by your phone's Bluetooth scanning software. In such cases, the MAC addresses may appear as "unassigned" because they are not recognized by the scanning software.
4. Environmental interference: In rare cases, environmental factors or interference could disrupt Bluetooth signals, causing MAC addresses to appear as "unassigned" during scanning.
5. Security measures: Some devices or systems may intentionally obfuscate or hide their MAC addresses for security or privacy reasons. While less common in consumer devices, this practice is sometimes employed in enterprise or specialized environments.
If your phone consistently detects Bluetooth signals with "unassigned" MAC addresses, it may be worth investigating further to ensure there are no underlying issues with your device's Bluetooth functionality or with the devices emitting the signals. You could try troubleshooting steps such as rebooting your phone, updating its software, or resetting Bluetooth settings. If the issue persists, contacting the manufacturer or seeking technical support may be advisable.
