ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake toll authority (EZPass, SunPass, FasTrak) claiming unpaid toll violations have escalated to final collection with a DMV registration hold unless paid immediately via email link — credential-harvest and advance-fee fraud; real toll collection notices are delivered by USPS and authenticated toll portals, never cold email payment ultimatums.

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 toll authority (impersonating EZPass, SunPass, FasTrak, TxTag, NC Quick Pass, or generic "Toll Services") claiming the target has unpaid toll violations that have escalated to final collection status with a DMV vehicle registration hold and additional penalty fees unless the outstanding balance is paid immediately via email link — credential-harvest and advance-fee fraud targeting drivers. Real toll authority collection notices are delivered via USPS and through authenticated online toll account portals; cold emails threatening DMV registration holds for unpaid tolls have been specifically highlighted by EZPass, FasTrak, the FTC, and FBI IC3 as a top toll-impersonation fraud pattern with millions of fraudulent messages sent annually. Distinct from vehicle-registration-delinquency-phish (DMV registration lapse pretext) — this targets the toll authority unpaid violations / final collection / DMV registration hold / pay immediately vocabulary. Detection: unpaid toll violations + final collection + DMV registration hold + pay immediately + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +4.

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.
