Fake DHL / FedEx / UPS / Royal Mail customs clearance fee demanding payment before delivery — real carriers notify via authenticated tracking portals, not cold payment-link emails.

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 DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail, or national postal service customs clearance fee demand before parcel delivery. Real carriers notify via authenticated tracking portals and never request payment via cold inbound email with a payment link. "Your package is held at customs — pay $X clearance fee" is a classic smishing/phishing delivery-brand lure. Detection: customs fee/duty/clearance vocabulary + carrier brand (DHL/FedEx/UPS/Royal Mail) + pay fee/release parcel action + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3.

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.
