FENDLAND DATA
The Property Spam Index
Updated September 2026 · tracking 2 numbers
Property owners get texts and calls from wholesalers, investors, and scammers who pull their name and address from data brokers. This is FendLand's running measure of the numbers behind that outreach: how many are flagged, how many hide on internet phone lines, where they cluster, and how they show up in federal complaint records. It updates every month. Cite it, link it, or use the numbers below.
Top area codes for property spam
Where flagged numbers cluster. Spammers favor local-looking numbers, so a high count often tracks a region being worked hard by wholesalers.
| # | Area code | Flagged numbers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 321 | 2 |
How many hide on VoIP
Non-fixed VoIP numbers are internet phone lines that are cheap to spin up in bulk and hard to trace, which is why they dominate spam. Share is measured across flagged numbers with a known line type.
Methodology
The index aggregates two sources. The first is FendLand community scans: when someone scans a text they received, our classifier labels it wholesaler, investor, realtor, or scam, and the adverse verdicts (wholesaler and scam) contribute to a number's community flag. The second is the FTC's public Do Not Call complaint database, which tracks consumer complaints about unwanted calls and texts by number.
A number counts as flagged here when FendLand users have flagged it as a wholesaler or scam, or when it carries at least 25 FTC complaints. Line type and carrier come from our cached carrier lookups. Counts are distinct numbers, not messages, and reflect a capped snapshot re-aggregated hourly.
FTC complaint data is unverified consumer-reported information, and caller ID is widely spoofed, so a reported number sometimes belongs to someone who never sent the message. Treat these figures as a measure of reported activity, not a verdict on any individual number. No personal information about the people who scanned or complained is used or shown, only aggregate counts.
