I have a regular meet who has been to my home several times --- he has only ever been in the bedroom and bathroom
he does not know my real name only my address
now he has popped up on my facebook with a friends request
could he have found out my real name from just knowing my address? |

Does he have your number?
I've been presented with 'people I know ' on mine. I'm assuming it's all linked in with phone numbers. Gotta be careful with smartphones these days. |

think it's more friends you have in common that causes this to come up |

There are tons of ways he can find out your name loads of internet searches display electoral register results by address so he could have found it through that. Although the most likely event is that he's seen something in your house.
To be fair if you want to keep your identity a secret inviting someone to the place where you actually live is not the smartest idea! |

Even without facebook, it's easy to get all that info if you know how.
My favourite trick, when irritated by a nuisance/bogus sales phone call to my company, is to try to have an email with an attached google sat photo of the caller's house in his inbox before the end of the call - it's quite amazing how their tone changes when they realise I know exactly who and where they are.
The geek will inherit the earth. |

"This is a good reminder for all of us to check our social media privacy settings, especially for those who wish to.keep their private life seperate from their home life."
useful advice from you guys -- being a bit of a self confessed technophobe -- your comments have been very helpful |

I deleted my Facebook account because people kept popping up from my past who I just don't want to accotiate with anymore, better that than. She's any offence |

I go by a pseudonym on FB anyway. The account is not connected in any way to my new hobby of swinging, but I have a dark and filthy sense of humour and like to remain ungoggleable, so a pseudonym is the best for me to remain as an internet ninja |
