I'm inclined to be extremely mistrustful of messages like this.
As best I can tell, the majority of contacts I've had along this pattern came from someone's clever 'growth hacker'. It makes sense, a more typical message is going straight to the trash while a feigned recruitment has a decent chance of getting me to visit your website.
Though, I think my typical work makes me a big target for this - social proof is paramount in the public sector and listing a marquee agency as a customer is a key to the city.
