I believe that if you don't have the app, Facebook sends you an email saying you have new Messenger message. I've never used Messenger, and this has happened to me.

The problem isn't whether or not you have Messenger; the problem is that (as a spam prevention measure?), FB will blackhole messages sent to you by non-friends.
