Fake Vercel compute credit depletion or spending limit exceeded notice to harvest payment credentials from non-vercel.com sender
vercel-agent-credit-topup-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 Vercel compute credit depletion or spending limit exceeded notice directing victims to update payment credentials. Vercel hosts millions of web applications including AI-powered apps that consume significant compute credits for edge functions and AI inference. As agentic workflows deploy on Vercel, "compute credits exhausted — deployments paused" is a plausible and urgent scenario. Attackers send fake "Your Vercel compute credits have been exhausted by your AI agent workflows — all deployments are paused — add a payment method to resume" or "Vercel spending limit exceeded — AI functions and edge deployments are disabled" emails. Victims who click are taken to a phishing page harvesting Vercel login credentials or payment card data. A compromised Vercel account gives the attacker access to environment variables (API keys, database URLs, secrets) for all deployed projects. The signal fires when: (1) body references Vercel brand AND (2) compute credit depletion, spending limit, deployments paused, or add payment method urgency is present AND (3) sender is NOT vercel.com AND (4) no List-Unsubscribe or In-Reply-To.

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 2,143+ 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.
