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.)
