Scam signal checklist: urgency, fake join, platform switch, run-a-file, lookalike URL
A “relative needs a video call” email can escalate to malware before a link exists.
What hurt
@roadhardfit’s household: stranger free-Gmail mail asked for an urgent relative video call; before any Zoom link existed the “client” pushed a Microsoft Teams file with a lookalike domain (o→0). On a voice chat, Grok Bot called it a classic scam, warned not to install, and with OK marked spam + filed FTC reports; a follow-up caller hung up when asked where the client lives. Steal the signal list. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.

The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/roadhardfit/status/2114516756152873463 (credit @roadhardfit).
- 2Save the signal list: urgency from first message; “joining” before a link exists; pressure to switch platforms; ask to run a file; lookalike URL; free email with no details; caller pushing a link who hangs up on a simple question.
- 3If you see any: do not click; do not install; block the sender.
- 4Optionally ask your bot (with your OK) to mark spam and help file https://reportfraud.ftc.gov plus Gmail Report phishing.
- 5Never grant the bot unsupervised install or payment rights during an incident.
Approval fence
Bot advises and drafts reports; you approve spam marks and never run stranger files.
What to tweak
Steal the checklist; report at reportfraud.ftc.gov and Gmail phishing.
