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 psychic, clairvoyant, medium, astrologer, or spiritual advisor scam — mass-mailed cold email claiming the sender has had an "urgent psychic vision" about the recipient, has a "message from a deceased loved one," sees a "dark cloud" that needs removing, or has prepared a "lucky talisman" — all requiring a fee ($20–$150) to receive the reading, ritual, charm, or protection. These are industrialized fraud operations using mail-merge to personalize generic templates. No legitimate reading, talisman, or spiritual protection requires cold-contact and upfront payment. FTC and state AGs classify these as deceptive trade practices. Reported losses: FTC 2024 shows psychic/spiritual fraud caused $92M in consumer losses, with elderly women most frequently targeted.

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.
