Questions
Is Dun & Bradstreet legitimate?
Yes. Dun & Bradstreet is a real company, not a scam. It is a data broker: it buys and compiles property, ownership, and contact records, then licenses them to marketers, lenders, and the skip-trace tools wholesalers use to find owners to call. That is a legal business in the US, which is why your records can be in its database without you ever hearing of it. Opting out is your right and it is free: Dun & Bradstreet publishes its own request process, and you do not have to give a reason. Some property and mortgage data may be kept under regulatory exemptions, so a removal can be partial.
Why is Dun & Bradstreet showing my information?
Dun & Bradstreet builds its file on you from public property and mortgage records, recorded deeds, and commercial marketing data it licenses in bulk, not from anything you handed it. Your name enters its database the moment you appear on a recorded document, which is why it can list you with no signup. You can request removal or suppression for free, though some property and mortgage records may be retained under regulatory exemptions.
Will removing myself from Dun & Bradstreet stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but Dun & Bradstreet is one of many data brokers feeding the same marketing and skip-trace lists, and the records return after each refresh, so you need to remove yourself across the whole set and re-verify on a schedule. Shield Pro removes your info from most of the 255 broker sites for you, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.
