Upwork has detected a potential risk with the content of this message.

**Edited for community guidelines**

 

I need to send a message to my client. I can send it to a mod. I need to know what caused this.

 

Btw, you gave a good reason to abandon Upwork messages

Hi Aleksandr,

 

Sorry it caused you any inconvenience. Generally, links and files are blocked when they are determined to be unsafe for the platform and users. We'll have one of our agents reach out to you with more information.

It happens to me all the time with a long standing client, so there are no issues but it severely effects the job process, both my clients and my attachments keep getting blocked

Found out that Upwork blacklists all the executables on dropbox. If it's your case, password-protected archives may help.

I recently have the same problem. I usually send the same links and never has this problem before.

Same problem to me.

Upwork has detected a potential risk with the content of my client's messages while giving him an interview. My financial account is suspended too. Please help me fix this issue. Thanks

Hello Pradeep, I am suffering from the same problems. I have got an invitation from Upwork where client who wants a video about myself. I have created a video and when I upload the video directly I see the video size was too large so I can not upload it from Upwork. So, I uploaded the video on YouTube and shared the video link in the Invitation acceptance letter. But I can not send the message it shows "Upwork has detected a potential risk with the content of this message." What can I do for that? Thank you!

Please let me know whether it's a new rule on Upwork to not share any link? However, it was a client requirement to send a video about myself.  If it's an Upwork rule then I never share any link in the future. Thank you!
