ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Survey-reward phishing — brand-impersonated survey + pay-shipping-to-claim prize trap

survey-reward-phishing

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 both a trusted brand (Amazon, Walmart, Samsung, Google, etc.) paired with a survey invitation and a large prize/gift-card bait — AND a credit card entry or small shipping fee to "claim" the reward. Legitimate brand survey incentives (actual Amazon credits, retailer gift cards) are credited automatically and never require you to enter credit card details or pay a shipping fee. The "pay $1.99 for shipping" step is how the fraud steals CC data or traps victims in undisclosed monthly subscriptions.

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.
