Service abuse: Fake loan/funding verification lure via Mailgun

Description

Detects inbound messages sent via Mailgun's sending infrastructure (mg subdomain) from common bulk sender addresses, where the body contains unresolved template placeholders like '[SOURCEID]', known Mailgun-associated physical addresses, or links pointing to Mailgun's campaign/list management subdomain (napp) on the same root domain as the sender. These indicators suggest automated bulk distribution with incomplete template rendering or suspicious infrastructure usage.
