Body mentions an attachment but the email has none — phishing primer for the next link click

body-claims-attachment-but-none

What this tier means

Warning signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. Contributes to the trash score but is not by itself sufficient.

How Gorganizer detects this

The email body contains a phrase indicating an attachment is expected — "see attached", "find attached", "please find attached", "ver adjunto", "ci-joint", "im anhang", "in allegato", "em anexo", "se bifogad", and similar across 7 languages — but the actual attachments array is empty. Classic phishing primer: the misleading prose tells the user to expect a file, then the next link in the body (which the user clicks expecting it to be the attachment download) goes to a credential-harvest landing page. Real businesses either attach the file or use direct prose ("your invoice is below"); the explicit "see attached" disconnect is essentially diagnostic of the prime-then-redirect attack pattern. Weighted at +3 — not solo-decisive because some legitimate newsletters reference attachments inline before linking to a real product page, but pairs strongly with `body-minimal-text-with-link` (iter 452) and `href-text-domain-mismatch` (iter 223) when both fire.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a warning-tier signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. It contributes to the trash score but never triggers deletion on its own. Gorganizer requires multiple signals + a margin over the safety floor before any email is moved to trash.

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.
