# Grok Bot spam killer and the free Spam-Call Scrubber skill ![[images/LunarResearcher-Spam-Call-Scrubber-thumbnail.jpg]] - **Post:** [x.com/LunarResearcher/status/2114712197834149958](https://x.com/LunarResearcher/status/2114712197834149958) - **Author:** [@LunarResearcher](https://x.com/LunarResearcher) ("Lunar") - **Posted:** 2026-10-26, 8:34 AM CT (13:34 UTC), one video, **22.6 seconds, silent/music-only**. It quotes a 2026-09-20 post by @0xjmori ([2101661510091034926](https://x.com/0xjmori/status/2101661510091034926)): "Grok Bot could be the operating layer AI agents have been missing", an article post. - **Numbers read from the X API on the evening of 2026-10-29 (CT):** 1,352,431 impressions, 525,329 video views, 13,034 likes, 1,818 reposts, 23,129 bookmarks, 535 replies, 98 quotes. > **Transcript source:** none needed.

The post sells it as free, official and a replacement for the $129 a year DeleteMe service. The facts are narrower: it is a third-party template from 15 October, it still needs a Grok Bot plan, it only reaches sites the bot can handle, and it does not stop illegal robocalls. ## Timestamped outline (video, 0:00 to about 0:23, silent) A dark, terminal-style app window titled **grokbot - spam scrubber** with tabs routines.yml and log, a green "connected" light and the handle **@lunarresearcher**. The command line reads `~/lunar > grokbot skill run spam-call-scrubber --recheck monthly`, with "update Oct 26, 2026". Three headline numbers (listings found, opt-outs filed, and "You pay $0 / DeleteMe: $129/yr") sit above six tiles: 01 search, 02 opt-out, 03 confirm, 04 do-not-call (national registry, free, one time), 05 recheck (1st of every month), 06 report (what came back, one message). A log of timed rows follows, and a draft panel at the bottom asks "approve? [y/N]". ### 0:03 Empty start - [0:03] Everything at 0. The lower box (`rules.md`, read-only) shows "// privacy" and the title **"Your number, off the lists."** with the small line "free skill. it asks before every form". ![[images/LunarResearcher-Spam-Call-Scrubber-t0003.jpg]] ### 0:08 First listings - [0:08] 3 listings found, 1 opt-out filed. Log rows: Whitepages (phone + home address) LISTED; Spokeo (phone, age, relatives) LISTED; Whitepages opt-out (form filed) FILED; BeenVerified (phone + 2 old addresses) LISTED. Draft 1 types "Found you on 3 sites so far, home address on 2. File..." with "approve? [y/N]" and "0/3 approved by you". ![[images/LunarResearcher-Spam-Call-Scrubber-t0008.jpg]] ### 0:12 Opt-outs and a pause for permission - [0:12] 4 listings, 2 opt-outs, 1 confirmation, 1 do-not-call. Rows: BeenVerified opt-out SEARCHING; donotcall.gov REGISTERED ("your number"); Radaris opt-out **WAITS FOR YES** ("needs your ok"); Spokeo confirmation CONFIRMED ("link in your inbox"); BeenVerified LISTED; Whitepages opt-out FILED. Draft 2 to "Radaris / removal form": "Remove the listing for (512) ...-41. Email only, no ID. Submit it?" with "1/3 approved by you". ![[images/LunarResearcher-Spam-Call-Scrubber-t0012.jpg]] ### 0:17 More sites, one refusal - [0:17] 6 listings found, 4 opt-outs filed (the opt-out tile shows 5). New rows: Recheck (1st of every month) SEARCHING; Intelius opt-out FILED; Intelius (phone only) LISTED; **MyLife opt-out "site refused" RETRY IN 30D**; BeenVerified opt-out FILED. Draft 3 (report): "5 of 6 removed. MyLife refused, I retry on Nov 1. Next full check: Nov 1." with the "y" typed, "2/3 approved by you". ![[images/LunarResearcher-Spam-Call-Scrubber-t0017.jpg]] ### 0:21 End card - [0:21] Recheck row now SCHEDULED. The bottom card (`summary.md`, "run complete", exit 0) says **"$0. Not $129 a year."** and "// Grok Bot pulls your number off spam lists now.", lists the flags `--search --opt-out --confirm --do-not-call --recheck --report`, and a button `$ open x.ai/bot`. ![[images/LunarResearcher-Spam-Call-Scrubber-t0021.jpg]] > **Observation (mine):** this is a scripted interface animation, not a screen recording of a real run. The numbers do not reconcile (header 4 opt-outs filed, tile 5, "5 of 6 removed" while one site refused). The phone number is masked and the handle is shown, but nothing proves a real account was used. The video does show the design points the post leaves out: the bot waits for a yes (Radaris), one site refuses (MyLife) and the retry is 30 days out. ## Claims check | Claim | Verdict | Source or note | | --- | --- | --- | | "Elon Musk's team at spacexai just dropped" it | **Wrong** | It is a community template by Arash (@MinimalDuck), posted 2026-10-15 7:40 AM CT. The x.ai share page says "This AI bot was created by a third-party user, not by SpaceXSI. It may act on your behalf" (as quoted by the grokusecases.com guide) | | "Just dropped" | **Dated** | The skill is from 15 Oct; this post is from 26 Oct | | Musk is connected to it | **True in a narrow sense** | Arash tagged @spacexai and @elonmusk; Musk quote-posted it on 2026-10-15, 4:57 PM CT: "Ask your @Grok @Bot to remove your phone number from spam call & text lists!" (5.89M impressions, 43,517 likes; I read both posts via the X API on 2026-10-29). Quoting is not the same as his team building it | | It's free / "$0" | **Misleading** | The template is free to add, but a Grok Bot plan is required and each run uses the Bot's usage allowance (grokusecases.com guide). The video's own $0 line ignores that | | DeleteMe charges $129 a year | **Supported** | DeleteMe help page: Solo plan covers one person for one year, billed annually at $129; DeleteMe's own plan page says standard coverage starts at $129/year (its pages disagree on whether it covers "over 30" or "over 50" top data-broker sites) | | Grok Bot "does the same" as DeleteMe | **Not like for like** | DeleteMe is a managed, ongoing removal service; this template reaches only sites the Bot can handle, and the guide warns sites may block automation, require phone verification or CAPTCHA, or change forms; brokers process on their own timelines | | Finds your number, files every opt-out, clicks the confirmation emails, rechecks monthly | **Matches the template description, "every" is overstated** | The share page says it "finds your phone number on people-search sites and data brokers, submits the opt-outs, finishes the email confirmations, and re-checks on the schedule you choose". The video itself shows a site refusing and a manual approval step. I did not install or run it | | It stops spam calls | **Not claimed exactly, but implied** | The guide says it does not stop illegal robocalls and cites the FTC: the Do Not Call Registry "won't stop calls from scammers making illegal calls"; opting out of people-search sites cuts only one source of exposure | | "Say these 3 lines once" | **Poster's own prompts** | The author of the template did not publish a system prompt (grokbot-templates.com); the three lines are not from the template. Line 1 asks it to find your home address too; the guide advises giving only the number, name and city/state | | "It asks before every form" (video) | **Unverified** | Not tested; the video shows approval steps but it is a mock-up | | Metrics: 1,352,431 impressions, 525,329 video views | **Supported (as read)** | X API public metrics, 2026-10-29 evening CT | Sources: [Grok Use Cases, unofficial guide](https://grokusecases.com/use-cases/grok-bot-spam-call-scrubber); [Arash's post (mirror)](https://teapawt.org/MinimalDuck/status/2110712459405464057); [RankMyBot listing](https://rankmybot.com/t/fUj6TYhiW_cjtzWvbsFgz); [Bot Shelf template page](https://botshelf.dev/templates/371d256487e4/); [Grokbot Templates page](https://grokbot-templates.com/use-cases/spam-call-scrubber-skill); [DeleteMe pricing help page](https://help.joindeleteme.com/hc/en-us/articles/26605377008531-How-much-does-a-DeleteMe-Subscription-cost); X API reads of Arash's post and Musk's quote-post (2026-10-29, 7:40 PM CT). ## Things mentioned - Grok Bot (xAI/SpaceXSI agent product), the Spam-Call Scrubber template, Grok Bot skills and routines - DeleteMe (paid data-removal service, $129 a year) - People-search and data-broker sites named in the video: Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, Intelius, MyLife; the National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) - `x.ai/bot` (the video's closing button) ## Tutorial section: setup (stated vs. inferred) | Step | Stated in the post | Added context (third-party guide, labelled) | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | "Add the free Spam-Call Scrubber skill" | Use the share page linked from @MinimalDuck's post, `x.ai/bot/fUj6TYhiW_cjtzWvbsFgz`, and check it says "Spam-Call Scrubber by Arash" so you know it is the original and not a copycat. Read its instructions first; adding it accepts third-party bot terms | | 2 | Say line 1: "Find every site that lists my phone number and home address" | The guide advises giving only your name as it appears on listings, the phone number and city/state; no SSN, ID photos, cards, passwords or 2FA codes | | 3 | Say line 2: "File the opt-out on each one and finish the confirmation emails" | Opt-out confirmations arrive by email; the guide suggests a separate inbox (the Bot's own @mail.grokbot.com address or a dedicated one). Some sites need phone verification or a CAPTCHA, which the Bot should hand back to you | | 4 | Say line 3: "Check again on the 1st of every month and tell me what came back" | The template rechecks "on the schedule you choose"; monthly is the guide's suggestion, not the template's default; every run uses your weekly allowance | | 5 | "Say line 1 tonight" | Review the first batch of opt-outs before approving; judge results over weeks | | Limit | Not stated | Does not stop illegal robocalls; does not delete public records or relatives' listings (FTC, as relayed by the guide) | ## Biographies - **Lunar (@LunarResearcher):** X account created 2023-12-11; bio "ai engineer | working with grok setups. dms always open".
