I have a Facebook account With literally zero friends (created only to create business pages). On 08/05 I was randomly kidnapped at gunpoint when out of town and wouldn't you know Facebook recommended friending my kidnapper (and some of his family members). Because he took my iPad and connected it to wifi he was located and arrested only 1 day later, before the friend suggestions, but I'd love to know if sans iPad location I would have gotten the recommendation from FB and been able to identify him that way.
Separately I'm getting all kinds of people from that town, I can only imagine why, but it's pretty damn scary. And of course I have to wonder who I'm being recommended to and/or my family is being recommended to.

- mcast 9y agoIt’s possible the kidnapper looked your name up on Facebook after stealing your iPad. Just searching for someone’s name is enough for a recommendation. This has happened with some of my coworkers who I have no mutual friends with and live in a completely different city (didn’t connect to work internet or have GPS permissions on FB either).
