From www.holdingredlich.com: A recent Western Australian District Court ruling requires companies to verify payment details they receive to avoid liability for fraudulent transactions, following the case of Mobius Group Pty Ltd v Inoteq Pty Ltd.

In this case, Inoteq was found responsible for a payment made based on a fraudulent email that altered bank account details without proper verification.

The Scam Prevention Framework Act 2025 has since been introduced to enhance protections against scams, imposing strict compliance obligations on businesses.
