24 reset emails, 20 were fake

A startup co-founder got 24 password-reset emails about one account. He gave his Grok bot one checking job. The bot reads each sender address letter by letter. It compares the address with the site where he really has the account. It checks where the reset button in each email really leads. It moves fake emails to a folder. It opens no links.

How it wentThe bot found 20 fake reset traps out of 24 emails (poster's claim). The real ones stayed. He shared the exact checking steps in his post, so any owner can copy the check.
Try it · based on the source's workflow
Check these password-reset emails for [service name]. For each email: 1) Read the sender address letter by letter and compare it with the real domain of [service name], which is [real domain]. 2) Report where the reset button link really leads, without opening it. 3) If the sender or the link does not match the real domain, move the email to [folder name] and mark it fake. Open no links. Click nothing. Send nothing. Give me a list of real and fake emails with one line of proof for each.
