PeopleSearchNow opt out: how to remove yourself
PeopleSearchNow publishes name, age, current and previous addresses, phone numbers and relatives on per-person profile pages indexed under your name. Its profiles are unusually well indexed by search engines, which makes it one of the faster routes from a name on a property record to a way of contacting the owner.

What PeopleSearchNow exposes about you
Your name, age, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, and relatives. It is one of the first places a wholesaler or skip tracer looks to attach your cell number to your name and address.
How to opt out of PeopleSearchNow
- 1Open the PeopleSearchNow opt-out form, choose that you are the subject of the request, and enter your first, middle and last name and your email. Tick the authorization box and complete the captcha.
- 2Click the link in the email it sends within 24 hours. The request is not processed until you do, and this is where most opt-outs quietly fail.
- 3If the next page asks which listing is yours, pick the profile with your age and city, then fill in the form so it matches that record.
- 4Allow 3 days, the time its page gives for the request to be processed.
- 5Re-check in a couple of weeks. People-search sites rebuild from public records, so a removed profile can return as a new one.
- 6It runs on the same opt-out system as USA People Search, FastPeopleSearch and their siblings, and each needs its own request. The system declined a Florida resident in October 2026 for having no state privacy law that applies.
FendLand last confirmed this opt-out link works in Sep 2026.

Check my exposureQuestions
Is PeopleSearchNow legitimate?
Yes. PeopleSearchNow 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. PeopleSearchNow 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 PeopleSearchNow showing my information?
You never gave PeopleSearchNow 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. PeopleSearchNow 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 PeopleSearchNow stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but PeopleSearchNow 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.
