What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Fake "your Tesla Supercharger / ChargePoint / EVgo / Electrify America / Ionity / Shell Recharge / BP Pulse / Wallbox / Volta / Blink charging session payment failed — update your card to avoid service suspension" email from a non-EV-vendor sender. Growing attack as EV adoption accelerates; Malwarebytes and KrebsOnSecurity documented multiple 2024-2025 campaigns. EV charging bills are small ($5-50) but FREQUENT, conditioning users to resolve card issues fast without scrutiny — the ideal shape for credit-card harvesting at scale. The "service suspension" framing carries real operational weight because many EV charging networks do auto-suspend on failed payment. Fires when the body references a specific EV-charging network or generic EV-charging language AND contains payment-failure + update-card urgency language. Excludes known EV-charging and EV-OEM vendors (tesla.com, chargepoint.com, evgo.com, electrifyamerica.com, ionity.eu, shell.com, bp.com, wallbox.com, volta.com, blinkcharging.com, ford.com, rivian.com, lucidmotors.com, gm.com, chevrolet.com, mercedes-benz.com, bmw.com, audi.com, volkswagen.com, hyundai.com, kia.com). Auto-classified as danger via the `-lure` suffix.
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.
