What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Credential phishing disguised as free in-game currency or reward offers from popular gaming platforms — Fortnite (V-Bucks), Roblox (Robux), Xbox (Game Pass), Steam (wallet credit), or PlayStation (PSN credit). The email claims the recipient has been "selected" for a giveaway and must click a link and log in to claim the reward. The link leads to a fake lookalike login page that harvests Epic Games, Roblox, Microsoft, Valve, or Sony account credentials. Key facts: (1) Fortnite/Epic Games never sends unsolicited V-Bucks — legitimate V-Bucks are purchased through the official app or earned via Battle Pass progression; (2) Roblox never grants unsolicited Robux via email — the platform warns explicitly that "Robux generators" are scams; (3) These emails target young gamers who may be less security-aware; (4) After credential theft, attackers drain in-game balances, sell rare items, or use gaming accounts as stepping stones to linked email/payment accounts. Warning signs: sender domain is not the official platform (epicgames.com, roblox.com, xbox.com, steampowered.com), urgency ("offer expires in 48 hours"), suspiciously round number of currency.
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.
