I had two incidents .

  1. I added john to my skype account and i exchaged few messages. Then i went home and was checking facebook . Then at right side i saw Do you know john and it was his acoount

  2. Then i had stored one person in mobile phone with name and phone and i never had any contact with him. But i still sometime see his name in do you know him . I have no mutual friends with as well.

Does it mean that facebook read my phone contacts and skype messages

    Facebook is evil and you should've known that. Installing any of their software on your main phone/computer is suicide, just use the browser instead, which doesn't allow it to read any personal data.

Yes, that, and a lot more if you use their mobile app. Also, they are not alone on harvesting everything; always read the app permissions list before installing an app, and consider whether you are willing to share your data with the app maker...
