ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake crypto seed phrase / wallet recovery scam

fake-crypto-seed-phrase-wallet-recovery-scam

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 requesting a crypto wallet's seed phrase, recovery phrase, mnemonic words, or private key — framed as wallet recovery, security verification, suspicious-activity remediation, or an airdrop claim. No legitimate wallet provider, exchange, or DeFi protocol ever requests a seed phrase. Exposure results in instant, irreversible total loss of all wallet funds. FBI IC3 2024: cryptocurrency investment fraud cost Americans $5.6B, with direct wallet compromise via phishing being the top attack vector.

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.
