What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Fake Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart.com, or generic online marketplace claiming the recipient's account has been suspended due to unusual activity and requiring credential re-entry via email link to restore access and prevent order cancellation — credential-harvest attack targeting online marketplace accounts. Real marketplace account issues are communicated through in-app notifications and official email domains (amazon.com, ebay.com, etsy.com); cold emails from non-brand domains demanding login credentials are credential-harvest attacks. Distinct from google-workspace-billing-suspension-phish (B2B SaaS billing) and crypto-exchange-credential-harvest-phish — this targets consumer marketplace account access. Detection: Amazon/eBay/Etsy account suspended/unusual activity + click to verify account/restore access vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3. Source: GC1-R24; FTC e-commerce impersonation fraud report 2025; APWG marketplace phishing advisory.

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 over 1,800 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.
