They probably just use the in-game search tool (or some other software that efficiently mines the same data that the in-game search tool does) - run a search on a specific area with no other parameters and they'll get a nice list of names to target, which their software can then use to include the target's name in the message itself. That kinda thing is not difficult to program. And it IS a program, make no mistake about that! There is no human being behind those messages - and heaven help you if you actually respond to the message, as the software can then make a note of the fact that you are a real living, breathing human, and therefore a priority target for advertising!
