LinkedIn recently suggested my neighbor from 1995. I didn't even have Internet access, let alone an email address back then. I haven't had any contact with this person since.

I have signed up for a couple of online brokerage accounts where they ask me questions about where I or my family have lived in the past. I got questions like; "At which of these 5 addresses has $BROTHER ever lived before?" And one of them was correct.
