ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake insurance company claiming an approved claim requires a processing fee payment via email link to release settlement funds — advance-fee fraud; real insurance claim settlements never require upfront fees.

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 health, auto, or home insurance company claiming an approved claim requires a "processing fee" payment via email link before the settlement can be released — advance-fee fraud. Real insurance claim settlements never require upfront processing fees; the adjuster communicates through authenticated portals and certified mail. This pattern is sometimes combined with fake "claim approval" letters to increase credibility. Detection: insurance claim settlement/payout approved + processing fee required to release vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3.

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.
