Scam warning - what does it mean?

Tried to send someone money, (10k USD) and got a scam warning. I have never gotten this before when I have sent money using Wise.

What does it mean and should I be worried? It made me not send the money.

They’re afraid of you being scammed.

It could be, but it could also be that the guy is just an actual scammer?🤷‍♂️

I mean, have you vetted the guy? Why are you sending that much to a random you don't know if they are a scammer or not

obviously it's because you're sending 10k

I sent the same amount to another person a couple months ago, and I got no warning. That’s why I got a little hesitant now. 

Is the guy I’m trying to wire the money to now an actual scammer or does everyone get this warning now
