Fake pre-approved paycheck advance or emergency loan requiring bank account and routing number (or SSN) via email link to release funds — advance-fee loan fraud targeting financially stressed individuals.
paycheck-advance-loan-phish
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 payday lender or employer-branded "paycheck advance" service claiming a pre-approved cash advance has been approved and requiring bank account, routing number, or SSN via email link to "release" the funds — advance-fee loan fraud targeting financially vulnerable individuals. Real paycheck advance services (DailyPay, EarnIn, PayActiv) never solicit via cold email and never request credentials before enrollment through authenticated apps. Detection: paycheck advance/cash advance/emergency loan pre-approved + verify bank/routing number/SSN to receive loan vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3. Source: GC1-R22; CFPB payday loan scam advisory; FTC advance fee loan scam patterns.
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.
