BEC vendor account verification fraud

bec-vendor-account-verification-fraud

What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Email requests a vendor or supplier re-verify ACH routing numbers, W-9 forms, or direct deposit details — the "indirect BEC" pattern that reroutes AP payments without requiring domain spoofing. FBI IC3 2026 BEC report: $2.9B in losses, average incident cost $120K, and AP verification requests are the fastest-growing BEC sub-category.

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.
