Well in this case it looks like you need to be friends, so any spam requests from non-friends would likely go into the never seen abyss that is the 'other' folder.

That being said, if you haven't ever checked your 'other' folder you probably should. Last time I saw this mentioned people had missed wedding invitations, potential dates and more from people they weren't facebook friends with trying to reach them.

You get to it by clicking the message icon in the blue bar at the top and then clicking the small text 'other' in the top left of that pop up.

A hotel found my kindle and sent me a message. I didn't see it for two years.
Hrm, well I barely acknowledge that I have an account so I wouldn't really say I've been missing them, Bob.
It may be limited to the platform apps... didn't see anything like this in the web interfaces. That said, it's always a pain... ironically the least painful (if both parties have a chase account) is chase's quickpay...
