What they did

A user had Grok Bot chase two refunds in one week: a dead Amazon doorbell, and a cruise bill that charged a dinner twice. It opened the cruise line's chat to start the duplicate-charge claim.

How it went

He says Amazon gave a full refund without needing the doorbell back. For the cruise charge, he only had to make one short call himself.

Worth knowing

Find the order/receipt for [item or charge] in my email. If it's faulty or a duplicate charge, open a refund request through the company's support chat or form with the evidence. Ask me before agreeing to anything, and tell me if a phone call is needed.

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.
