Prospect by Buildout is one site. You’re on dozens.
The same records that put you on Prospect by Buildout 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 Prospect by Buildout re-lists you after its next data refresh. FendLand shows where you are listed, tracks every removal, files the ones that accept an agent, and keeps re-checking because they come back.

Questions
Is Prospect by Buildout legitimate?
Yes. Prospect by Buildout 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 Prospect by Buildout to suppress your information, and you do not have to give a reason. The texts you get come from its users, not from Prospect by Buildout itself, so blocking one sender does not remove you from the tool.
Why is Prospect by Buildout showing my information?
Prospect by Buildout 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 Prospect by Buildout 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 Prospect by Buildout pulls from, so the durable fix is scrubbing those too and re-checking on a schedule, not once. FendLand tracks every removal, files the ones that accept an agent, and re-checks on a schedule.
