Invalid Sample Message — Public URL shorteners prohibited
US carriers strictly prohibit shared public URL shorteners (bit.ly, tinyurl.com, t.co, cutt.ly, rb.gy) and insecure http:// links inside sample messages due to phishing rules.
Why DCA Reviewers Trigger Error 30892
- A sample message contains bit.ly/xyz or tinyurl.com/xyz.
- A sample message contains an unencrypted http:// link instead of https://.
- The domain in the sample message does not match the registered brand's website domain.
