Real estate closing wire fraud (Business Email Compromise targeting homebuyers / sellers) — "Wire transfer required today for closing — new wire instructions attached / please update bank details for escrow account immediately." Attacker intercepts or spoofs the title company / escrow agent to redirect closing funds. FBI reports $446M lost to real estate wire fraud in 2022 alone. Real wire instructions for closing are delivered through verified, previously established channels and NEVER arrive as a cold inbound email from an unknown sender with same-day urgency. Detection: wire transfer + closing/escrow language + same-day urgency + no In-Reply-To + no List-Unsubscribe. Source: GC1 R16; FBI IC3 Real Estate Wire Fraud PSA 2024.

What this tier means
Warning signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. Contributes to the trash score but is not by itself sufficient.
How Gorganizer detects this
Real estate closing wire fraud (BEC targeting homebuyers/sellers) — attacker spoofs the title company or escrow agent to redirect closing funds. FBI IC3 reported $446M lost in 2022 alone. Lure: "New wire instructions for today's closing — transfer funds immediately." Real wire instructions are established at transaction outset via verified channels and confirmed verbally, never changed via cold inbound email. Signal fires when: (1) wire transfer / wiring instructions language AND (2) closing / escrow / title company language AND (3) same-day urgency AND (4) no In-Reply-To AND (5) no List-Unsubscribe.

False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a warning-tier signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. It contributes to the trash score but never triggers deletion on its own. Gorganizer requires multiple signals + a margin over the safety floor before any email is moved to trash.
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.
