former providers showing up on Facebook

So I got a new phone and over the past week I have had 3 providers, that have gone MIA over the past few months, show up as "people you may know " on my page. We have no friends in common and it's a new phone and contact list. They are also from different parts of the city. All the names are their civilian names. Anyone else have this happen. It's very strange. Obviously there is a way to track things and it probably goes both ways. Also ladies might need to watch out for stalkers.

It is difficult to hide these days. Especially with intrusive apps.
If you mention your hobby email, any way on social media....

The big engine that grabs data... Will bring it back to you.

I have one " friend" that has sent an email to a BS email account that was set up 10 years ago, it got linked to FB somehow... I get some strange friend suggestions. ( web cam ho's bisexual midget wrestlers and some goat fuckers)
But alas, no straight up Transvestites looking for a hookup.

Did you use a rw phone number with them? Maybe the used their rw number with you.

I would not think it would be emails, most contact with providers is txt.
Yes, it must be down to the email.

Always a good idea to have separate accounts for the different parts of your life. I even have an email I use for professional reasons, not the same as my fb email, and also a fake last name on fb, because I never want potential employers to be able to look me up on there.
I saw a provider .... set up outside of email. Gave her my email and then started getting badoo emails ... .first one had her civi pic.

Soon....privacy will be gone. No drones or NSA needed.
So the weird thing is 2 are on here and one is only on BP. Never emailed any of them. I only called the numbers that were in the add's. Looks like I'm not the only one. I think there is a database out there we don't quite understand.

I think it also has to do with photo recognition. If photos are used for RW and hobby, there will be some software out there linking the two.
Another thing that happened last Friday. Not related to my phone,Facebook or email. My buddy who has never heard of eccie starts telling me this story about these 2"hookers" that he meets at a bar. He goes into this long story about them. After he describes them I pull out my phone and pull up a showcase and show him a pic. He's like how the fuck did you get a pic of them? I told him I already fucked them. Too many coincidences this week. Or maybe the universe is telling me I know too many providers.
Something scary that happened to a provider friend of mine over in London (while I was still living there). She had some sexy selfies on her phone that she would use for her ads.

One day she jumps onto her fb, only to find those selfies posted in her own news feed with some very mean captions.

So, she has that unlock security thingy on her phone, and besides the point, was never in a situation where someone could have gotten a hold of her phone without her knowledge. (It wasn't stolen, she doesn't have a jealous bf or anything).

The only thing we could think of is someone somehow remotely hacking her phone, but then again, how would they even know in the first place that she was a provider? She never did figure out who hacked her account.

It is creepy nowadays. All this IT is definitely becoming intrusive.
FB has been suggesting some of my clients as friends too. We've got no friends in common and I have a hobby phone and hobby email as well as a civie phone and email. Never the twain shall meet, but somehow they are showing up as suggested friends.

Rather creepy.
