"To avoid falling victim to invoice hacking scams, consumers should call the supplier to confirm the correct account details before transferring large amounts of money, especially if they have received an email from the supplier saying their account details have changed," AFCA lead ombudsman banking and finance, Evelyn Halls, said in a statement.This guide is constantly updated for the current version of iOS. The Australian Financial Complaints Authority said it was working with industry and other stakeholders to try to minimise invoice hacking scams. The ABC asked the Bendigo Bank about Jane's case, but it declined to comment while the matter was still before AFCA. The bank advised that those efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. "Because of the time delay between the funds being sent and notifying Bendigo Bank of the fraud, the likelihood of recovery for any other financial institution would be very low." "The correct procedures were followed to notify the other financial institution (Commonwealth Bank) and to request a recall of the funds," the bank said. In response, the bank said it tried to recover the money as soon as it was made aware of the situation. Jane lodged an AFCA complaint to the Bendigo Bank in the hope of a resolution.

In separate correspondence with Victoria Police, Jane was told: "Any further investigation is unlikely to result in a successful prosecution of the party responsible."
