Cannot Respond to Contact?

Hello,
I received a message from someone who seemed interested in hiring me. I got the notification via email and immediately clicked “View and Reply.” When I did, it said, “Alert! ________ will no longer be able to contact you.” I do not have an option to reply to them and have no idea why it was flagged, but I figured since it was flagged that it was probably a scammer or something. So I haven’t bothered with it. However, when I went to check my inbox again to see if anyone else had messaged me, I noticed that the other person’s message had a red clock on it. So I scrolled over it, and it says that I have to respond to them within 9 hours, or else I take a hit to my response rate. I don’t want to look like I don’t care or respond to clients, but there is no option to respond. There is an Unspam Request option, which I have been tempted to click; but if this is actually a scammer, I don’t want to get sucked into a job for nothing. I’ve been through enough of that for one lifetime. So I’m not sure what to do here. Has anyone else had something like this happen?

Thanks for any help,
SassaLeanne

Update
I did click Unspam Request before time ran out AND responded to the person (as well as responded quickly to another person), yet now my response rate has gone from 100% to 0%. What is the deal with that? Has anyone else had problems like this before?
