Spam: Mastercard promotional content with image-based body
Detects messages promoting untrustworthy Mastercard credit cards that contain both financial communications and promotional content topics, with the message body primarily consisting of image content rather than text. Excludes legitimate payment-related Mastercard communications and applies additional scrutiny to high-trust sender domains that fail DMARC authentication.
