Use Grok Bot to request phone-number removals
An X user built a Grok Bot skill that looks up phone listings, sends opt-out requests, and checks again later.
- What they did
- An X user named Arash wanted fewer spam calls, so they had an AI bot search people-finder sites for their phone number and submit removal requests. They then turned that workflow into a free Grok Bot skill called Spam-Call Scrubber. The skill runs in the Grok Bot app, sends opt-outs to data brokers and people-search sites, handles confirmation emails, and repeats the check on a user-chosen schedule.
- How it went
- The article does not report a drop in calls. It says the first users will be the ones to learn whether the volume goes down, and it notes that some listings can return later. It also says illegal robocallers are not stopped by do-not-call registries.
- Tips
- This only helps on sites that actually honor removal requests. Because records can come back, periodic rechecks are important.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Look up my phone number [phone number] and my identity details [full name, city] on major people-search sites and data brokers such as [site list]. For each match, start the removal or opt-out process, and handle any confirmation email sent to [email address]. Before you submit anything that asks for ID, payment, or final approval, stop and show me exactly what will be sent so I can decide. When you finish, give me a table with each site, what you found, and the current request status, then schedule a fresh check every [30] days.
