    If the user is not following you or has blocked you, then you will not be able to send messages to the user.

    You can also send messages to a user that is not following you but has DM’d you (e.g. if your id accepts DMs without requiring mutual following). However, if the user is not following you/has blocked you (as mentioned by Andy Piper) or has not DM’d you, you’ll receive the “code: 349, message: ‘You cannot send messages to this user.'” error. Tested via postman using the direct message api (https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/events/new.json).
