Overpayment reversal scam
overpayment-reversal-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 claims the sender accidentally overpaid or sent money to the wrong account and asks the recipient to return the difference via Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, gift cards, or wire transfer — a classic overpayment fraud where the original payment is a fake or bounced cheque that clears from the victim's account only after they send the "refund"; FTC 2025 reports $3.4B in consumer losses from this pattern.
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.
