MWITA-BSO-2026-007 · Evidence A · P1
The combined table reported AUD 152.6 million in payment-redirection scam losses in 2024, 66.6% above 2023, but the like-for-like increase using only consistently categorized sources was 9.0%.
What this does not establish
The figures do not establish causal growth in underlying scam incidence or isolate brand impersonation from other payment-redirection mechanisms.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The internally reported 66.6% rise falls to 9.0% under a comparable-source calculation, directly limiting use of the headline year-over-year rate.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial or human outcomes.
