My phone is always asking to match phone numbers, Fb accounts, email addresses and Whatsapp details. Could it also be that she was a friend of a (friend of a) Facebook friend? I'm always suprised when Fb suggests people that I know, but haven't seen in years.

Strange situation but I do believe there are gremlins out there ... and I'm not paranoid. I take pills for that.

Yeah they modified find friends a little while ago so you can search for contacts on your phone if using the mobile phone app I'm pretty sure. You can also modify your privacy settings so people can't search for you using your number. This has to be set and is not by default. I have heard a few horror stories of FB staking from this.

Her and I had no mutual friends... On Facebook or anywhere else... Were I the stalking type, her FB account gave me a few more details about her that I was unaware of... I don't normally get too concerned about privacy stuff/public domain type things, but yes, I was pretty freaked about it. Hp xo

But you can change your privacy setting in your Facebook account to restrict the invasion and stop FB from accessing your contacts and photos on your smart phones (iPhone and Android) by turning off the FB button in your smart phone's Settings. So answer to your question OP, I am lucky that I have not yet experienced any of those scary or potentially embarrassing moments like yours and Paintme's scary story.

Did you know that every time you click on a 'like' for a page, business or goods, FB is actually profiling you to pre-empt the most relevant products or services advertising to target you with as pop-ups that they then proceed to ram down your throat each day? However, even FB intelligence can make mistakes...I was being sent advertising for Lesbian Dating? They couldn't have got me more wrong!

If someone has their mobile number linked with the FB then it will pop up. We have found a lot of swingers fb profiles by accident on that. First thing we did was delete our numbers off the account.

The friend of a friend I can understand. Did she know your full name? Could she have possibly viewed your profile a number of times and FB has decided that perhaps you know each other?

Signed up to LinkedIn a little while ago and it searched my phone contacts.. suggested a rather clingy and persistent guy off here whose LinkedIn name was different to who he said he was! Found it hilarious but couldn't be bothered to call him out on it.

Other than each others first names, online usernames and phone numbers... No mutual friends. No mutual groups or organizations other than the bonking site, and I don't think either of us told fb that. I thought about letting her know, but didnt. Hp xo- Posted from rhpmobile

Found it hilarious but couldn't be bothered to call him out on it. That explains why my LinkedIn thingy always asks me if I know the woman my ex had an affair with!!! It's how I found out her name!!! BAhahahahahaha

I told someone I met on another site that her security settings were so lax, I could get a lot of information about her, including where she gets her coffee, what train she takes, where she works and where she lives and a lot of other juicy information just from her Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare accounts. To thank me, she never contacted me ever again. See, who says a good deed never goes unpunished

Not on this site but another. It sent out a message to all my contacts on my mobile/facebook suggesting they join the site!! My boss, work collegues, everyone including my in-laws. I then got all these messages saying the link wasn't working - or they didnt understand the message. Thank God there are such things as spam mail!!- Posted from rhpmobile

LOL, i'm sure you meant because she herself posted all that info on her FB account? Many don't realise how much information they put into the public forum via facebook.

I typed in "Ms_Direct redhotpie" into Google, and this came up: http://www.redhotpie.com.au/Member/Meet-Women-Looking-for-Couples-Sydney My entire profile. At least people that know my username are already on RHP. I hope. And I'm well aware universities really have no hope in hell of ever using any of my info (though come and get me), but so much for anonimity!

lolThat has always been possible in the internet age....nothing is private.A while age, rhp settings did link directly to Facebook, at first everything you scanned over would appear on your facebook (if you were online rhp - facebook at the same time.)Needless to say, there were many questions and complaints about privacy and rhp finally did fix this problem.I dont have a mobile phone so no problems there about info linking between phone and profiles.If you dont want personal info out there in cyberspace for anyone to find.....dont put in there in the first place.

Why would you think that universities and such cant or wouldn't use your information/profile ?

When the rhp-facebook debacle was in full swing, it was common for someones comments to appear with someone elses pics, it was funny and scary at the same time.

Quoting 'Highpriority'Why would you think that universities and such cant or wouldn't use your information/profile ? Having met some students, I've learned there are so many legal/ethical hoops they'd have to jump through it would be near impossible. Not sure about the journos though.
