Prohibited campaign types:

Third-party or affiliate lead and/or commission generation (see definition below) Advertisements for loans Credit Repair offers Debt Relief Debt Collection Work from home, secret shopper, or other similar advertising campaigns

What is third-party or affiliate lead generation?

This is when the party collecting opt-in is doing so for the purpose of collecting, aggregating, converting, or selling consumer information (“leads”) to third parties for a fee. Typically, a consumer is driven to a website using online advertising and asked to input their information in order to receive offers for general services like payday loans, insurance products, or educational opportunities. The lead generator then either resells that consumer’s information to one or more third parties or continues to send messages to the consumer with links to offers from multiple partners to try and convert a sale.

At their best, these offers can give real value to consumers by connecting them with companies that can help fulfill a need. Often, however, lead generation companies have engaged in aggressive or potentially misleading marketing campaigns, causing consumers to complain and spam blocking to occur.

Examples of prohibited messaging campaigns:

“Savings Alert from [COMPANY]: We found a new program that can protect you from costly auto repairs. It’s quick and easy to see if you qualify. [LINK]”

“Lending Alert from [COMPANY]: Your first offer! Great loan options may be available to you. It’s quick and easy to learn more. Click for details. [LINK]”

“Need help settling your payday debt? [LINK] or call [NUMBER] to speak with an agent. Text STOP to optout.”

“Thanks for being loyal. You can check for approval today. Login to see how much. We won’t send until you okay it. [LINK]. Reply STOP to optout.”
