Notes

KE-CIRT/CC is confirmed; the DCI site lists no cybercrime unit, so the sheet's unit name is unconfirmed.
DCI contact pages list hotline 0800 722 203; the page header shows info@dci.go.ke and director@cid.go.ke, and the enquiries block and footer give director@cid.go.ke. There is no dedicated online cybercrime portal; dci.ecitizen.go.ke was not reachable.

Lost money? Call your bank first

The bank can often stop a transfer if it hears from you quickly. See the official fraud lines in how to report bank fraud in Kenya.
