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 TSA PreCheck / Global Entry renewal requiring payment and SSN re-entry via a lookalike site — impersonating DHS, CBP, or TSA. SACRED: 'known traveler' added to safety-keywords.ts to protect real renewal emails. The US government NEVER collects travel program renewal fees or SSNs via inbound email links — all legitimate TSA PreCheck and Global Entry renewal is done at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov or through approved providers (IDEMIA, Telos). Non-.gov sender with TSA PreCheck / known traveler renewal vocabulary is phishing. Detection: TSA PreCheck/Global Entry/known traveler vocabulary + renewal/SSN payment action + sender NOT on .gov + no In-Reply-To + no List-Unsubscribe. Trash score: +4. Source: GC1-R18; FTC TSA PreCheck advisory February 2024; DHS trusted traveler program alert.
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.
