TCR Text Campaign Error 709 - Prohibited Content: Lead Generation/Affiliate Marketing & High-Risk Financial Services

What it means:

This error occurs when a text campaign includes content related to lead generation, affiliate marketing, or high-risk financial services, all of which are strictly prohibited by carriers. If your campaign promotes any of these, it will be rejected.

Examples of Prohibited Content:

Social marketing
Collections
Financial services for high-risk or subprime lending (e.g., credit cards, auto loans, payday loans, etc.)
Insurance (car, health, etc.)
Gambling, casinos, and bingo
Gift cards, sweepstakes, and free prizes
Investment opportunities
Lead generation and affiliate marketing
Recruiting and commission programs
Credit repair and tax relief
Illicit substances (including cannabis)
Work-from-home schemes, get-rich-quick opportunities
Fraud, phishing, and deceptive marketing
SHAFT content (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco)

Why it matters:

Carriers implement these restrictions to protect consumers from risky, illegal, or deceptive content. Ensuring compliance with these guidelines helps maintain trust and security in text communications.

How to fix it:

Unfortunately, there is no remedy for campaigns involving prohibited content. You will need to remove all references to the restricted topics in your campaign to ensure compliance with carrier guidelines.
