Heuristics 5

  • Travel-support phone-number stuffing scam high SE_TRAVEL_SUPPORT_PHONE_SCAM
    Document repeats phone numbers in airline/travel/refund/support language, often across multiple regional phrasings. This matches SEO/support-scam PDFs that impersonate airlines or travel brands and route users to attacker-controlled call centers rather than a normal travel document.
  • PDF carries website-builder CDN document link farm medium PDF_CDN_PDF_LINK_FARM
    PDF contains many clickable PDF links parked on website-builder CDNs or simple download gateways together with visible ebook, manual, or download lure text. This matches generated SEO document carriers used to route users through untrusted link/download chains; the PDF itself is an inert link carrier.
  • PDF links to disposable redirector campaign host medium PDF_DISPOSABLE_REDIRECTOR_CAMPAIGN
    PDF's outbound link points to a throwaway redirector domain that recurs as the sole redirect across a large family of otherwise unrelated spam PDFs (movie-piracy, affiliate, and viral-link lures). These domains appear on no reputable list and exist only to funnel openers into malvertising / scam / download chains.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
