Fake energy supplier switch scam — lower energy rates / switch today + provide bank direct debit details / sort code / account number to complete the switch
fake-energy-supplier-switch-scam
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 energy supplier switch scam — cold-email or phishing claiming the recipient has been "selected" for lower energy rates, a government energy saving scheme, or is owed an energy bill refund, then requesting bank direct debit details (sort code and account number) to "complete the switch" or "process the refund." Scammers use the collected bank details to set up unauthorized direct debits or sell them for account takeover. Real energy supplier switches never require providing bank details by email; legitimate comparison sites redirect to the supplier's own secure forms. UK's Ofgem and FCA have issued repeated warnings about unsolicited energy switch cold-calls and emails. Ofgem 2024: energy tariff scams spiked 340% following the energy price cap crisis, with victims losing an average of £450.
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.
