Fake e-commerce unauthorized order callback scam

fake-ecommerce-unauthorized-purchase-callback

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 Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, or another major retailer claiming an unauthorized order was placed on the recipient's account — then directing them to call a phone number to "dispute the charge" or "cancel the order." A callback fraud scheme where scammers pose as customer service to harvest payment card details or charge fake cancellation fees. FTC 2024: imposter scams were the #1 fraud category with $2.7 billion in consumer losses.

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.
