AI voice-clone charity donation scam — deepfake audio/video of a celebrity or executive soliciting urgent crypto/wire donation at a non-official URL. FBI IC3 2025; Chainalysis 2026 charity-scam spike post-disaster.

What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Email that delivers a fake AI voice-cloned or recorded message from a celebrity, politician, or disaster-relief spokesperson and solicits an emergency charitable donation via a cryptocurrency wallet address, wire transfer routing number, or off-brand payment link — bypassing established charity platforms like Give.org or PayPal Giving Fund. The attack exploits two trends simultaneously: the surge in AI voice-synthesis tools that can produce convincing impersonations, and the emotional urgency of disaster events (wildfires, floods, hurricanes) that overwhelm rational evaluation. FBI IC3 PSA I-031025 (March 2025) named AI voice-clone charity fraud the top elder-fraud vector; Pindrop's 2026 Voice Intelligence Report documented a 600% YoY increase in voice-clone charity attacks; KrebsOnSecurity reported a coordinated campaign exploiting the 2025 LA wildfires within hours of the first news coverage. The signal fires when an email combines an audio/video playback CTA or AI-authenticity framing with a charity/disaster donation narrative and an off-brand donation method. Legitimate charity emails arrive with List-Unsubscribe headers from established organizations and never embed raw wallet addresses or routing numbers as payment methods.
False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.
About the scoring engine
Gorganizer's scoring engine emits 2,143+ signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.
Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
