Fake business invoice scams

A couple lost more than $800,000 to a scammer pretending to be their solicitor while they were finalising settlement of a property:

'I was emailed transfer details to complete the funds transfer before a property purchase.

The email came from my solicitor’s legitimate email address. The bank details provided were incorrect, unbeknown to me.

I received a confirmation email from my legal team confirming receipt of funds, but it went to a scammer instead.'
