ThreatScams & fraud

Money mule / financial agent scam — receive funds to your account + keep % + forward the rest

money-mule-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

Body contains a financial-agent or payment-processor recruitment pitch ("we need a local financial representative to receive payments on our behalf", "process international transfers and earn a commission") combined with a keep-percentage-forward-the-rest instruction ("retain 10% as your commission, transfer the remaining balance to our client within 24 hours"). Victims who accept become unwitting money launderers: the funds they receive are the proceeds of fraud, and they are personally liable when law enforcement traces the transfers. FinCEN, the FTC, and CIFAS list this as one of the fastest-growing financial crime enablers. Legitimate employers never ask you to use your personal bank account to receive and forward money — all real payroll is processed via the employer's own banking infrastructure.

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.
