A provider I met last summer .....3 states away on a road trip ....showed up as a " friend suggestion " on FB???

At first, I couldn't figure out how I knew her..the face looked familiar but her name didn't. Then I saw where she lived.


Actual name, husband. Family, etc....everything.

Had her Work listed as " self employed"


Has that happened to anyone else?

If either you or her gave access to your contacts to facebook that's why or if either one of you entered said number into your Facebook profile. Also if you downloaded a photo of her into your phone and Facebook has access to your media it also can recommend them via facial recognition. AI is making shit wild.

I had this happen. Daisy Pheonix showed up as a friend suggestion under her legal name after I saw her in Miami. Facebook on my phone doesn’t have access to anything that OC suggested and I use a separate phone for my hobby stuff and creeper accounts, so… I assume she looked me up or FB knew our phones were within a few feet of each other for a few hours somehow.

So if phones are in proximity, they can find you on FB, am I understanding that correctly?

Best to ignore and not attempt to add them
It’s their personal life.

its possible if they both use facebook owned apps (FB, insta, whatsapp etc). They definitely track user locations through those apps.

Someone mentioned it in another thread a few months ago. I have almost everything sharing-wise turned off on Facebook, but who knows how these apps still track location just to benefit their algorithms? Maybe she and I both searched Google for something while we were in the hotel room or hanging out after, and that location info got shared?

Facebook uses the same algorithms as Instagram and cause these companies track EVERYTHING from your phones, locations and many many other things they will connect you cause you were in close proximity to each other for an extended period of time
so they will see what app platforms you share and then make suggestions

You know, Daisy asked me why I was speaking so softly. I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening! She laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

It sucks for me i gave fb access to my contacts and kept asking me to add chloe carter(her real fb acc+legal name) like as a "suggested friend" finally had to go through and delete the contact and block her on fb to get her to stop showing up as a suggested friend... kept adding salt on the painful sting of her scamming me

I have a few girls personal numbers and their personal snapchats all get recommended to me. Not once have I ever though it would be a good idea to add them.

I guarantee it's because you have her phone number in your contacts. I had a personal trainer who was in my contacts and FB recommend him as a friend despite us having 0 mutual friends.

I do but I'm thinking it was a Google number....not her personal.

This provider is an " Independent,."

This happened to me just the other day. No mutual friends, but the tiny profile picture looked like someone I would know, so I checked out the rest of the profile. And there was one of the first escorts I saw, over two years ago. Her whole-ass government name, on display.

She was great, and I've wanted to book her again, but it never worked with my budget/schedule. She was just in NY recently too. I wonder, if I see her again, should I mention it, in cases she wants to tighten her opsec?
