I'm used to spam calls, hearing a bit of music then some lady speaking mandarin, whatever. This is new though, 1 a spam WhatsApp message and 2 the content. Has anyone else gotten anything like this? I'm hoping this is random and not targeted

So you get calls where you pick up and they just start speaking Mandarin at you? What in the world
Pretty much. There's a bunch of people who got scammed into paying nonexistent fines relating to immigration when called in Chinese. Or fake banks lying about fees for transferring money from China/Hong-Kong or wherever (I can't tell the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese, but both happen).
Immigrants who don't understand exactly how stuff works are a good demo to scam, which is why they're not even bothering to scam in English.
