Fake WeTransfer "you received a file — download before it expires" notice sent from a non-WeTransfer domain — credential-harvest and malware-delivery cross-domain phish exploiting expiration-pressure mechanic. Real WeTransfer mail originates from wetransfer.com / we.tl only.

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
Fake WeTransfer "you received a file — download via link before it expires" notification sent from a non-WeTransfer sending domain (From / Reply-To / link domains do not align with wetransfer.com / we.tl) demanding the recipient click an off-domain link to download the supposedly shared file — credential-harvest and malware-delivery cross-domain phish. Real WeTransfer notifications come from wetransfer.com / @wetransfer.com with DMARC-aligned signing; cold emails from off-domain senders impersonating WeTransfer with off-domain file-download links are scams. WeTransfer impersonation is a high-volume file-share phishing lure tracked by Cofense 2024 PDC and Proofpoint 2024 — the expiration-pressure mechanic ("file expires in 3 days") drives high click-through. Distinct from dropbox-share-cross-domain (Dropbox), googledrive-share-cross-domain (Google Drive), and onedrive-share-cross-domain (Microsoft) — this targets the WeTransfer / file-transfer / expires-soon / download-via-link pretext with off-domain href. Detection: WeTransfer brand vocabulary + file-shared / expires-soon / download-via-link urgency + sender or link domain ≠ wetransfer.com / we.tl + no DMARC alignment. Trash score: +4.

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.
