Addresses.com opt out: how to remove yourself
People-search site, a PeopleConnect (Intelius) brand, that publishes your name, phone number, and current and past addresses, with many of its pages indexed by phone number. Skip tracers and wholesalers use it to tie a phone number to a property owner and their address history. Because it is a PeopleConnect brand, removal goes through the Intelius privacy center.

Check my exposureQuestions
Is Addresses.com legitimate?
Yes. Addresses.com is a real company, not a scam. It is a people-search data broker: it compiles public records, marketing data, and social profiles into a page on you and shows or sells it to anyone who searches your name, including wholesalers and skip tracers. Compiling public-record data is a legal business in the US, which is why it can list you without asking first. Addresses.com offers a free opt-out to everyone through its own removal process, and you do not have to give a reason; in some states, such as California, opting out is also a legal right.
Why is Addresses.com showing my information?
You never gave Addresses.com anything. It scrapes and buys public records (county property and voter files, court and marriage records), marketing databases, and social profiles, then links them into one page under your name and publishes it automatically. You show up the moment those records mention you, which is why it can appear without warning. Compiling public-record data this way is legal in the US. Addresses.com still offers a free opt-out to everyone, and in some states, such as California, opting out is also a legal right.
Will removing myself from Addresses.com stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but Addresses.com is one of many people-search sites, and it relists you after each data refresh, so you need to opt out everywhere and re-check on a schedule. Shield Pro removes your info from most of the 336 broker sites for you, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.
