I would argue that there is a difference between low effort bulk spam and what OP received. The message OP received sounds like a fairly tailored request for expert advice, which is a great way to make $100+/hr to answer questions. If you only want to receive messages from approved contacts, then use whitelists or stick to Facebook Messenger et al.
