Scraping to me is what google does, exploring links, saving and parsing data.
The contact importer presumably sourced data from iOS, google, outlook or similar address books.
You shouldn’t normally get data out that way, was it returning unexpected results from partial matches?
Maybe you could view a profile page by uploading an address book with partial, stubbed data. This page that then normally wouldn’t have been accessible to the user then was and those and any connected profiles were then crawled and scraped?
It seems to me you used to be able to view an otherwise private profile if the person had extended a friend request.
