How would he look me up? He didn't know my name. Can lyft drivers see the full name of the people who they pick up, or just the first name? If they can see the full name, then MAYBE he looked up my friend, then looked at his friends list and found me. I find that extremely unlikely. I've also seen a lot of very, very strange "you may know" suggestions for people that I've only met in passing, and again without full names.

If your and your driver's phone have sent GPS coordinates to facebook it is pretty easy to link you together.

Or you can be linked by the recorded sound.

He said he didn't have the FB app installed on his phone, though.
