# Forbidden Message Categories

> Review message categories Leadping does not allow, including restricted offers, deceptive outreach, spam, harassment, and carrier-prohibited traffic.

*Revision Date: June 28, 2026*

Use this page before approving a source, drafting SMS copy, registering a campaign, connecting a partner, or starting an automation. It is designed for quick operational decisions: if the use case fits one of these categories, do not send it through Leadping.

The formal policy is the [Acceptable Use Policy](/acceptable-use). If the two ever appear different, follow the stricter rule and contact support before sending traffic.

## How to use this page

Check the source, offer, message content, links, sender identity, consent path, and recipient list against the categories below.

If a use case is close to a forbidden category, do not test it in production to see what happens. Contact support with the source, website, opt-in path, message examples, and intended recipients.

## Forbidden categories and traffic

* Illegal goods, illegal services, or unlawful activity
* Fraud, phishing, smishing, impersonation, fake invoices, credential collection, or deceptive security alerts
* Harassment, threats, intimidation, stalking, hate, or repeated unwanted contact
* Adult sexual content, pornography, escort services, or adult dating solicitations
* Firearms, explosives, weapons, ammunition, fireworks, or related offers
* Cannabis, CBD, THC, controlled substances, illicit drugs, drug paraphernalia, or related promotions
* Gambling, betting, sweepstakes, contests, lotteries, or fantasy sports promotions
* Payday loans, title loans, high-interest loans, debt relief, debt collection abuse, credit repair, student-loan forgiveness, or mortgage-relief offers
* Cryptocurrency, tokens, investment offers, trading promotions, get-rich-quick offers, work-from-home schemes, or multi-level marketing
* Misleading healthcare, insurance, financial, employment, housing, immigration, tax, legal, or government-benefit claims
* Alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or other age-restricted promotions without prior Leadping approval
* Political, charitable, public-health, emergency, or other regulated messaging without prior Leadping approval
* Malware, unsafe attachments, deceptive redirects, or links that hide the final destination
* Purchased, rented, scraped, harvested, recycled, aged, affiliate-generated, unverifiable, or non-consented contact lists
* Messages that do not match the registered brand, website, source, campaign, consent path, or approved sample messages
* Attempts to bypass carrier, registration, opt-out, suppression, billing, security, or Leadping review controls

## Also prohibited

Do not use Leadping to:

* Split a forbidden campaign across multiple sources, numbers, brands, or accounts
* Rename or disguise a restricted use case to pass review
* Send messages that differ materially from the approved examples
* Continue traffic after a source, carrier, provider, or Leadping review issue
* Upload or buy contacts that did not opt in to the specific outreach
* Ignore STOP, DNC, unsubscribe, or other no-contact requests

Leadping may reject leads, disable sources, pause numbers, block messages, or require review when traffic appears to fall into these categories.

## If your use case is close

Do not start traffic while you are deciding whether a category applies. Contact [support@leadping.ai](mailto:support@leadping.ai) with the business, website, lead source, opt-in path, message examples, and intended recipients.
