ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Title-attorney revised wire-instructions BEC — email impersonates a settlement attorney or title company mid-transaction with "revised" or "updated" wire instructions containing a routing/account number change. FBI IC3 2025 real-estate BEC $446M; distinct from existing wire-transfer and mortgage-refi signals.

What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Business Email Compromise targeting real estate buyers at closing: an attacker sends a fraudulent email appearing to be from the title company, closing attorney, or escrow officer with "revised wire instructions," "updated banking details," or a "new routing number for closing funds." FinCEN's 2026 advisory on real estate wire fraud specifically highlights this pattern; the FBI IC3 2025 Internet Crime Report attributed $446M in losses to real estate wire fraud with "revised wire instructions" as the #1 tactic; ALTA issued a January 2026 warning about this exact pattern. The key discriminator: real title companies never email revised wire instructions — they provide wire details once via a secure portal. Routing/account numbers embedded inline in an email body are a near-perfect fraud indicator. Distinct from real-estate-wire-fraud-lure (general wire-instruction language without the "revised/updated/changed" composite or inline account numbers).

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.
