The scenario described, where Judy includes only a phone number in front of a client's home, is an example of a blind ad. A blind ad is a type of advertisement that does not provide sufficient information to identify the advertiser or the property being offered, often lacking essential details such as the agent's name or the brokerage. This type of ad is typically used to draw attention while keeping the identity of the agent or agency obscured.

In real estate, blind ads can be problematic because they do not comply with regulations that require transparency and disclosure in advertising. For potential buyers, a blind ad can be frustrating as it provides minimal information and may lead them to contact someone without knowing the full context.

The other options refer to different concepts. A bait and switch involves misleading advertising that promotes a certain property at an attractive price to lure clients, only to switch them to a different, usually less favorable, option. A pocket listing is when a property is not publicly listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), yet still marketed in private networks. Spam refers to unsolicited or unwanted messages, often sent in bulk, which is not relevant to the scenario described. Understanding these distinctions helps clarify why the given scenario aligns specifically with blind advertising practices.
