Are you fed up of receiving messages from unknown people on Facebook Cant you point out how can strangers send you messages without being your friend? Then probably you don't know that Facebook privacy features allow you to block these unwanted messages. How?????? Read and find out.
One of the most fascinating features of Facebook is that it makes no compromise with the privacy of its users. Several privacy layers are setup in each of of its feature to make sure that its users do not get confronted with people whom they really don't know. I have been always listening to people that they receive messages from strangers and aren't getting a way to avoid this. So a little sneaking into the picture I realized that there must be some sort of privacy layer employed by Facebook to avoid this and actually there is a way to get rid of messages from strangers on Facebook. Here are the steps to do this
Login into your Facebook account.
Click on the lock near the HOME option on the top right corner of wall page and then click on Who can contact me.
Now select STRICT FILTERING from the options that appear.

You are done and no one except your friends can send you messages on Facebook .

Sorry for the late reply guys.. Updated the post.
And according to the new privacy definitions you cannot stop anyone from sending you the message but with strict moderating an unknown message won't appear in your inbox...
