Weird visit this afternoon

Sounds like she has mental health issues and is turning into a stalker.

Needs firm No if she comes again - do not engage further. Ignore any letters etc from her and firm No and then don't engage further if she approaches you in person.
 
If she is confused, then mightn't she be likely to knock on more other tenants doors too?

All the apartment doors in my building look the same, and those who are becoming confused, have difficulty finding specific ones. And keeping info straight.

The info specific to dusty , without Ms.72 explaining right away with no prompting, how she knows it and why, doesn't sound confused, or good.

The move sounds good to me, unless you love it there which it doesn't seem like you do.

I would be tempted to put a paper on my door, that says only,

No visitors, please

and nothing else.

I remember seeing a news item showing a new tech device you can wear to identify a stranger's name and personal information while simply passing by the person. As we all know, our personal information is constantly being gathered through our phones, etc.

So I brought up this AI Overview to share but not sure if it's up to date. This device may be available now to some. She is probably just a nosey busy-body and harmless but I would avoid her for sure.

While not available as a commercial product, the technology to identify strangers' names and personal information in real-time exists, as recently demonstrated by students at Harvard. The functional components include AI-powered wearable devices, facial recognition software, and the ability to scrape publicly available online data.

AI...
A project called I-XRAY, developed by two Harvard students, serves as a high-profile proof of concept. The tool works by combining existing off-the-shelf technology in the following steps:

Capturing faces: The system uses a pair of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses to capture live video of people. An indicator light turns on to signal that the device is recording.
Using a facial recognition search engine: The video stream is processed by a facial recognition search engine like PimEyes. This tool scours the public internet to find matches for the detected face.

Cross-referencing with data brokers: Once matches are found, the system uses large language models to scrape information from publicly accessible databases, including "people search" websites like FastPeopleSearch.
Retrieving personal data: These data brokers can use a person's name to find other personal information, such as home addresses, phone numbers, and relatives.

Displaying information: All the retrieved information is automatically sent to an app on a connected phone for the user to view.
The creators of I-XRAY have explicitly stated they are not releasing the tool for public use. Their purpose was to raise awareness about significant privacy concerns. Data broker sites used for this technology often have an "opt-out" process that allows individuals to request their information be removed from searches.

It seems like this device can collect current information not people you knew years ago.
