Stop spam calls: set up a free Grok Bot that scrubs your name from people-search sites

Tired of your name, phone, and address showing up on people-search sites? A free Grok Bot teammate called Spam-Call Scrubber can help you file free opt-outs, one site at a time, with your approval.

Print-friendly. This page prints on plain paper in large type, with the colors and menus removed.

The button needs your browser to allow it. You can also press Ctrl and P together (on a Mac, Command and P).

Last checked: October 26, 2026. This page is a free overview plus the first setup steps. The full printable guide is a separate $9.99 introductory download.

Safety first. Never share your Social Security number, bank or card numbers, or Medicare number in a chat. Prefer free opt-outs over paid “removal” offers. Confirm email links yourself when they land only in your personal inbox. The bot does not pay or confirm without you when a site needs your phone text code.

What is going on?

People-search sites collect public and brokered information and often display your name with phones and addresses. The FTC says most of these sites let you opt out yourself, for free, one by one. Your information can reappear later, so a periodic recheck helps. Opting out does not delete government public records.

Separately, you can register numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov (opens in a new tab). That helps with companies that follow the law. It does not stop scammers.

What the Spam-Call Scrubber can do

In Grok Bot there is a teammate built for this job (often named Spam-Call Scrubber). With your oversight, it can:

It will not guarantee permanent removal, buy paid reputation services, create paid accounts for this job, stop scam robocalls by magic, read iCloud / me.com mail unless you forward or connect it, or ask for passwords or credit cards for this job.

What to give it (and what never to give)

Give: full name and nicknames / variants, every phone to scrub, current and past home addresses, and emails that show up on those sites.

Never give in chat: passwords, bank or card numbers, Social Security or Medicare numbers, or one-time sign-in codes (enter those yourself).

First setup steps (overview)

Menu names in Grok Bot can change. Look for the same idea if labels look different.

  1. Open Grok Bot. Open your Spam-Call Scrubber teammate, or create one for this purpose, and say you want a privacy scrub.
  2. Send your names, phones, addresses, and emails. Ask it to save them in the vault, then check the list it repeats back.
  3. Tell it to start the first sweep. It searches site by site and files free opt-outs. Approve only review cards you understand.
  4. If a site emails a confirm link to the bot inbox, it can often finish. If the link goes only to your personal email, open it yourself (links often expire in about 24 hours).
  5. Ask for a short report of what it found and submitted. Removals can take hours to a few days. Then set a monthly recheck when you are ready.

Honest limits. Listings can return from public records. One site finished does not mean all sites are done. Some sites need a phone text code only you can enter. This reduces people-search listings over time; it is not a magic anti-scam shield. Keep the habits on our Stay Safe page.

Want the full printable guide?

The free page stops here on purpose. The paid guide adds click-by-click detail, a printable checklist, a “help a parent” section, a verified common-sites list, what “removed” looks like, troubleshooting, and an optional 30-day pacing note.
