How can I stop people from sending me messages trying to sell whatever they are selling? I did not sign up for that I was signing up for friendship and support not to be annoyed by people trying to make a buck off me!!

If you accidently "friended" a person only to discover it's a solicitation you can delete them from your list. Click on MY FRIENDS (left side of this page) Hovering on their photo and you will see an option to remove from friends list.
