Fake charity / disaster relief donation fraud
fake-charity-disaster-covid-relief-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 soliciting disaster-relief or humanitarian-crisis donations while directing payment through non-standard channels — Zelle, Western Union, wire transfer, gift cards, or Bitcoin — the defining marker of a charity fraud. Legitimate charities collect donations via their official website, PayPal Giving Fund, or check; none request gift cards or Bitcoin in cold emails. FTC 2024: charity fraud and impostor charity scams caused $530M+ in reported losses; spikes sharply during natural disasters, wars, and public health crises.
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.
