So, I have received this job notification a few minutes ago:

English to Portuguese
Language variant European Portuguese"
And when I clicked on the link, I got the following message:
"Something went wrong...
The outsourcer has chosen to make this a private job posting, and you do not appear to be authorized to access it. (FAQ)"
I was logged in when I saw that job post, and I'm European Portuguese.
I'm not interested in applying to this job, I just want to understand what happened, as this message doesn't make any sense at all.
Thanks.

That happened to me many times, very often.
No big deal. I just delete the email and move on.

It's happened a couple of times. Very infuriating. We set up our profiles etc. so we get notifications of work that might interest us and then we get that.

... and I was expecting that someone from Proz staff could clarify this.
Oh! I don't intend to waste my time and staring at this sort of messages, so I have read and deleted it after posting this topic here 
And in the meantime, we keep receiving emails such as "We need to know your availability for a translation from English into Turkish"... Brilliant 
Many thanks for sharing your experiences, and a have a good weekend!

Occasionally, some agencies just randomly cancel the job offers they just posted. That might be what happened in your case.
I don't take the job board very seriously these days.

No, it happens quite frequently and has done so for years. It seems to be a bug. Sometimes logging out and logging in again helps.
