Connected Investors is one of 130 broker sites Shield Pro covers
The same records that put you on Connected Investors are spread across our full data-broker opt-out list, and that spread is how wholesalers and spammers got your number in the first place. Opting out of one site helps for a while, then Connected Investors re-lists you after its next data refresh. FendLand shows where you are listed. Shield Pro removes it for you at most sites, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.

Questions
Is Connected Investors legitimate?
Yes. Connected Investors is a real company, not a scam. It is a skip-tracing and lead tool that real-estate wholesalers and investors pay for to attach a phone number to a property owner, then text or call them. Selling that data is a legal business in the US, which is why your number can be in it without you ever signing up. Opting out is your right and it is free: you can ask Connected Investors to suppress your information, and you do not have to give a reason. The texts you get come from its users, not from Connected Investors itself, so blocking one sender does not remove you from the tool.
Why is Connected Investors showing my information?
Connected Investors shows your details because one of its paying users looked up a property tied to you, and it matched your name to a phone number pulled from upstream data brokers. It is a lead tool for investors and wholesalers, so your number is there to be found, not because you signed up. You can ask it to suppress your data for free, but it re-traces from those upstream sources, so a listing can come back.
Will removing myself from Connected Investors stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but wholesalers can still reach you through the people-search and data-broker sources Connected Investors pulls from, so you also need to remove yourself from those and re-check on a schedule. Shield Pro removes your info from most of the 130 broker sites for you, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.
