Questions
Is SmartBackgroundChecks legitimate?
Yes. SmartBackgroundChecks 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. Opting out is your right and it is free: SmartBackgroundChecks publishes its own removal process, and you do not have to give a reason.

Will removing myself from SmartBackgroundChecks stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but SmartBackgroundChecks is one of many people-search sites, and it re-lists you after each data refresh, so the durable fix is opting out everywhere and re-checking on a schedule, not once. That is exactly what FendLand automates.
