ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake vehicle extended warranty expiration notice demanding immediate payment or phone call to renew coverage — high-volume consumer scam; real warranty renewals come from the manufacturer or dealership, not cold email links.

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 extended vehicle warranty expiration notice claiming factory coverage has lapsed and demanding the recipient act now via a phone call or payment link to "lock in" new coverage — one of the highest-volume consumer phone and email scams. Real warranty renewals come from the manufacturer, authorized dealership, or the original warranty provider through authenticated channels, not from cold emails with urgent CTAs. Detection: vehicle/car/auto warranty expiring soon + click to extend/renew/secure coverage 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.
