Method:

How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Disclosure: This is our product: realagentcases is run with Grok Bot. Included because the source is public and verifiable.

Outcome

A poster spotted a $199 charge for a service he'd meant to cancel and asked Grok Bot to handle it. He says it got into the website, closed the account, opened a support chat and emailed a refund request, and the refund came through. (He used a separate phone-calling AI for a disputed AC bill in the same post.)

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Cancel a service I forgot about and request a refund for the latest charge.

Fill in before running:
- Service name and website: [SERVICE]
- Charge amount and date: [AMOUNT, DATE]
- I'll log in myself when needed: [YES]

Rules:
- Stop and let me sign in; never ask for my password.
- Cancel the account and screenshot the confirmation.
- Request a refund through support chat or email, politely, citing the date and amount.
- Show me any message before it's sent.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: Cancellation confirmation, the refund request sent, and any reference numbers.

You'll know it worked when: the account is closed and I have a refund confirmation or a ticket number.
