Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Review my [DoorDash/delivery app] orders from the last [60] days. Show me what I spend per week, the fees and tips, and cheaper options (pickup, membership math, fewer orders). List orders that had a real problem (missing items, very late, wrong order) and draft a refund request for each. Don't contact support until I approve each one.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
