Perhaps you receive a Facebook message from a friend (or a page you have messaged), it will enter into your normal Facebook Messenger inbox at www.facebook.com/messages.
If you’re a Facebook veteran, chances are that you’re aware that peradventure a facebook message comes in from someone that Facebook will assume you might know.
The reason is that the message will show as a Message Request (or Connection request) at the top of your inbox, and the messages can be located here: www.facebook.com/messages/requests
On the other hand, facebook Messages from non-friends, assumed by Facebook to be spam, are sent to your Filtered Messages at www.facebook.com/messages/filtered
A Facebook page (company) can only message a fan directly if they have commented on their page – OR they can message if the fan has previously sent a message.
Often times, although, a winning alert will come from a facebook page admin, who has to use their personal account to send that message – and it may well go to your Filtered Messages folder!
