What they did

Amazon delivered the wrong item. Grok Bot chatted with Amazon support, which confirmed he wouldn't be charged for returning it. When he was charged anyway, it opened a second chat, used the first chat as proof and got the refund. He also used Grok Bot with a Twilio phone number and voice to call AT&T and get his number taken off a call list.

How it went

A wrong delivery returned and refunded, with the chat history as proof.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. Save every support transcript; the second chat only worked because the first was on record. The phone-call setup needed his own Twilio account.

Prompt

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

Amazon delivered the wrong item on order [number]. Contact support by chat, explain it, and get them to confirm in writing that I won't be charged for the return. Save the chat. If I get charged anyway, open a new chat, quote the earlier confirmation and ask for the refund.

Recommended

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.
