Scammers are getting smarter, with AI making it easier to scale sophisticated attacks and exploit the trust sitting around property transactions.
Julian Barnes is joined by Finni brokers Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos to unpack the growing fraud threat, including a case where a client lost almost $80,000 after scammers impersonated their solicitor.
The conversation looks at how these scams work, why brokers and their clients are increasingly exposed, and the simple checks that can help stop a fraudulent payment before it happens.
The team also covers the latest lender results and policy changes, the growing role of second-tier lenders, negative gearing uncertainty, white label products, and bridging finance.
