Judging from your reaction I'm 'assuming' that the message surprisingly showed up for you in a place it hasn't before. Since nobody else seemed to mention it, it probably wasn't an update to NG.
But you left out a lot of potentially important context:
- Had stuff that requires you to have been scouted ever worked for you in the past? (For example: Did you have the option to scout others?)
- Where did that message show up?
- Had you ever visited that section before? (Maybe it shows up there all of the time and you have never noticed it before.)

The most likely explanation would be that the person who scouted you made some regrettable decisions - either scouting-wise or upload-wise...
