    So the field should contain the user_login of one of the members?
    Untested – try this in bp-custom.php.
    Put the correct field name in ‘your-field-name’.

    function crazy_check_referrer() {
  global $bp, $wpdb;

  $referrer_field = $_POST['your-field-name'];

  $referrer_check = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT ID from wp_users WHERE user_login = '$referrer_field' ");

  if( $referrer_check == NULL ) 
    $bp->signup->errors['your-field-name'] = __('That person was not found','buddypress');

}
add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'crazy_check_referrer');

    here is the code on functions.php

    function validate_referrer()
{
  global $bp;
  global $wpdb;
  $referrer = $_POST['field_3'];
  $members = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = '$referrer'");

  if (!$members) {$bp->signup->errors['field_3'] = __('Please enter the correct referrer','buddypress');}
}

add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'validate_referrer');
