Fake charity / disaster-relief fraud — charity impersonation + Western Union / gift card / crypto donation
fake-charity-solicitation
What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Body contains a charity or disaster-relief donation appeal — either a named real charity (Red Cross, UNICEF, Save the Children, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, etc.) or a generic humanitarian/disaster crisis combined with donate/contribution language — AND routes the donation through an untraceable payment channel: Western Union, MoneyGram, gift cards, cryptocurrency wallet address, or a request for bank account/routing numbers. Legitimate charities (Red Cross, UNICEF, Habitat for Humanity) accept donations via credit card on their official website, PayPal Giving Fund, or accredited payment processors — they never ask donors to wire money via Western Union, buy gift cards and email the codes, or send Bitcoin to a wallet address. Disaster-themed donation fraud spikes after major events (earthquakes, hurricanes, war) when public sympathy is highest.
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.
