Scrub your phone number from data brokers to stop spam

A Grok Bot skill finds a user's number on people-search sites, files removal requests, completes confirmation emails and rechecks on a schedule.

What They Did

An X user, Arash, got tired of spam calls and had an AI bot find his number on listing sites and file removal requests. He then packaged that as a free skill called Spam-Call Scrubber. It needs the Grok Bot app. The skill submits opt-outs on people-search sites and data brokers, completes their confirmation emails, and rechecks on a schedule the user picks.

How It Went

The article reports no results, because it says the first users will have to find out whether call volume drops. It warns that listings can reappear and that illegal robocallers ignore registries.

Worth Knowing

It only works on sites that honor removal requests. Because listings can return, the scheduled rechecks matter, and the article says illegal robocallers won't be affected.
