Block strangers to contact you on Facebook

Facebook is where we share our feelings, memories, photos with friends and family. Unfortunately, spammers are always trying to get useful information, send messages and suggest making friends to all of us to advertise or scam. Even worse, hateful people can make friends with you just because you think you're lonely.

To avoid receiving messages or friend suggestions from people you don't know, simply adjust some personal settings on Facebook. This will help those who have received too many offers to get out of trouble and will ensure that you do not accidentally agree to make friends with a stranger.
