What TruePeopleSearch exposes about you

Your current and past addresses, phone numbers, age, and relatives, all publicly viewable. 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 TruePeopleSearch

  1. 1Search your name and city on TruePeopleSearch, open the listing that is you, and copy the record URL from your browser bar.
  2. 2Go to truepeoplesearch.com/removal. The page is a single short form: one field to paste your record URL and a box for your email, no account needed.
  3. 3Paste the record URL, enter your email, and complete the CAPTCHA to submit the request.
  4. 4Open the confirmation email from TruePeopleSearch and click the link to finish it. Records usually drop within a day.
  5. 5Check back periodically. Listings on free people-search sites tend to reappear as new data is ingested, so a one-time removal rarely stays clean.

TruePeopleSearch is one of 255 broker sites Shield Pro covers

The same records that put you on TruePeopleSearch 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 TruePeopleSearch re-lists you after its next data refresh. FendLand shows where you are listed. Shield Pro removes it for you at most sites, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.

Questions

Is TruePeopleSearch legitimate?

Yes. TruePeopleSearch 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: TruePeopleSearch publishes its own removal process, and you do not have to give a reason.

Why is TruePeopleSearch showing my information?

You never gave TruePeopleSearch 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, and that same law is why you have the right to opt out for free.

Will removing myself from TruePeopleSearch stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?

It helps, but TruePeopleSearch is one of many people-search sites, and it re-lists 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 255 broker sites for you, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.
