Grok Bot removed a phone number from spam-lead sites
FeistyDelight wanted everyday errands, not a bot empire. One job: delete their phone number from about 10 websites that scammers and telemarketers commonly scrape for leads. Grok Bot handled the removals. That sits next to people-search opt-outs: the same slow form-filling work, site by site, with confirmations that land in email. Pair it with the National Do Not Call Registry and your carrier's free scam blocking if calls are already a problem.
Copy this prompt
Find the main people-search and lead-list sites that publish my phone number [NUMBER] with my name [NAME] near [CITY, STATE]. For each site that shows my number, open its official opt-out or removal page and file the request. Use only [EMAIL] for confirmations. Do not upload ID without asking me. Keep a checklist of what you filed and the confirmation status, and recheck the same sites in 30 days.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- Only use each site's own opt-out page. Lookalike removal services can be scams.
- Listings often return after a data refresh. A monthly recheck is part of the job.
- The Do Not Call Registry stops many sales calls but not scammers. Keep carrier scam blocking on too.

Can an AI agent remove you from people-search sites?
People-search and data-broker sites list your name, age, phone and address for anyone to find. Here is how to opt out yourself or with an AI agent, what real people report, and why you have to recheck the same sites later.
