By the way, regardless of EI activity, steer well clear of the Facebook phone app if you value privacy at all. If you have a decent smartphone it works perfectly well on a browser, so no need for the app.

I confirm we do not have any links to the FB.
Forgive me if I am still half asleep but I think I might know how your phone thinks this is someone to recommend as a friend
Not sure if you are using the facebook messenger?
few weeks back my phone's app gave me no choice but started to display all my text messages (yes, from my phone) in the facebook messenger chat window, side to side to my chats.
worrying as it is, for the privacy reasons, if you have got a sophisticated phone and she has got her number on her facebook profile, the facebook app connected those 2 dots and suggested her as a friend.
you called her number, texted her, the FB saw it... TA DA!
spooky.
EI is not to blame here. we would never disclose your information to anyone.
besides, how would we? we don't have your full / real names? facebook profiles? phone numbers?
if was you, I'd get a punting phone.
Old type, no fancy display, no apps etc, you know what I mean.

More a case of people don't read warning prompts or messages on PC and even less on mobile.
Who here actually reads what permissions an app needs when installing (on android anyway) or do you just tap 'next, yes, ok, accept' to get passed it? I downloaded a torch app on an older phone to have a handy button for turning on the LED on the back, it for some reason needed permissions to access phone book, memory card, messages and some other shite. How about no.
What's happened here is the lady has logged into her personal FB on her 'work' phone, tapped yes/ok at all the prompts and unfortunately, anyone like OP also using their personal phone with FB contact permission granted, will get the same recommendation Better hope she knows to lock her privacy settings the fuck down now.
My infosec based method for Facebook (since the messenger is ubiquitous, cross platform and works well) is to not have the main app installed (I rarely use FB for anything other than messenger anyway), no pictures, no school, town, or any info, and surname altered enough that people that know me will recognise it's me, but anyone looking wont be able to. As well as going through privacy settings and locking everything the fuck down.

Ideally use a different phone from your work phone like everyone else has said. If you're interested in the nuts and bolts of it - I'd suggest reading up about caches and this can happen with other forms of social media including instagram and twitter.
