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 "your Meta Business Suite / Facebook Ads Manager / Instagram Ads account has been suspended for policy violation — verify your business within 24 hours or your ad account will be permanently disabled" email targeting the 10M+ Meta advertiser base. Harvests Meta admin credentials and 2FA codes. Post-compromise attackers: (1) drain the ad-spend budget with attacker-controlled ads (scam crypto ads, fake shopping deals, malware droppers) — ad accounts commonly hold $5-500K of committed spend; (2) pivot to connected Facebook Pages to hijack the brand's social presence and post scams to the follower base; (3) pivot to Instagram Business for the same attack vector on a different audience; (4) pivot to WhatsApp Business for customer-service impersonation fraud; (5) exfil ad-performance data and custom-audience lists (PII from uploaded customer lists). The lure converts because Meta DOES routinely suspend ad accounts for policy reviews, payment issues, and automated-abuse flags — the "action required within 24 hours" UX is real and Meta's legitimate account-disabled emails look structurally identical to the phish. Sophos and Proofpoint documented sustained 2024-2025 campaigns. Fires when body references Meta Business Suite / Meta Business / Facebook Business / Facebook Ads Manager / Instagram Ads / Meta Ads / FB Ads AND contains suspension / policy-violation / business-verification / permanently-disabled / ad-spend-paused urgency. Excludes facebook.com, facebookmail.com, fb.com, meta.com, metamail.com, instagram.com, instagrammail.com, whatsapp.com, business.facebook.com, business.instagram.com. Auto-classified as danger via the `-lure` suffix.
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.
