I've noticed something unusual on the recent results. On 20/09 invitation round, the cut off point of account jump significantly to 85, and the statistics result show 85 pointers are much higher than 75 and 80 which is impossible.

I think that someone or a group have deliberately submitted bogus EOI. If this trend is still happened, I think that none of us would receive invitation. Just imagine they create 10,000 accounts, software engineers, professional engineers with at least 75 points.

Do you think that we should notify this to DIBP?

it seems it is the case

and there has been a long discussion about this at the main accountant thread. I will duplicate the link to that thread below:

Yes, seems so. Since EOI is not chargeable, seems like lots of bogus EOI's were submitted.

Yep. Last year in the whole year I don't think we had 100 70 pointers. This year we had 300 of them and DOE is regressing. We were supposed to get our invite in August. And I don't think any 65 pointers + lot of the 70 pointers will get invite this year.

Only 2339 and Accounting is being affected with this fake EOI mess.
