Questions
Is Spokeo legitimate?
Yes. Spokeo 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: Spokeo publishes its own removal process, and you do not have to give a reason.
Why is Spokeo showing my information?
Your name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives. Spokeo aggregates public records, social profiles, and marketing data into a single people-search profile that wholesalers and cold callers buy access to.
Will removing myself from Spokeo stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but Spokeo 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.
