Fake AI platform storage-quota-full upgrade lure — email impersonates ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / Copilot claiming workspace or Projects storage is full and requires plan upgrade at a spoofed checkout page. OpenAI + Google + Anthropic phishing wave post-Projects launch 2025-2026.

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 impersonating an AI platform's file storage system (ChatGPT file storage, Claude Projects, Gemini workspace, Copilot for Microsoft 365, Perplexity Pro, Notion AI) claiming the user's storage quota is full and their files will be deleted unless they upgrade to a paid plan or re-enter billing details. This is a 2026-specific lure exploiting the rapid rollout of file-storage features by AI platforms. Bitdefender (March 2026), Malwarebytes (February 2026), and Proofpoint (February 2026) documented this attack class targeting ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot users. Distinct from cloud-storage-overage-lure (iCloud/Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive) and fake-chatgpt-plus-subscription-renewal-lure (subscription-cancellation narrative). Legitimate AI platforms send storage communications from official verified domains with DKIM signing and never request billing re-entry via email.
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.
