Control who can contact you on
Privacy Settings and Tools section of Facebook allows you to select who can contact you. By default, this is set up to allow friends and people you may know the opportunity to send you a message to your inbox.
If you want only friends to be able to contact you, you can increase the filtering on your inbox. Other messages will then be diverted to your ‘other’ folder which you can access from your Messages screen.
