What they did
A YouTuber with public email addresses gets scam emails every day and finds them harder and harder to tell apart from real ones. He built a Scam Email Detector bot in Grok Bot that watches his inbox and alerts him when a message looks like a scam, and shared it for others to add.
How it went
He says he uses it to get alerts on scam emails; Elon Musk reposted it saying Grok Bot can detect scam emails.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Watch my inbox [read-only if possible]. When a new email looks like phishing or a scam, alert me with a short reason (sender, links, urgency tricks). Stay quiet about normal email, and never click links or reply.
