Notes

SamCERT is confirmed (established 2022); the police site lists no dedicated cybercrime unit, only a Cyber Awareness page, so the sheet's 'Cybercrime Unit' is unconfirmed.

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 Samoa.

Some details here could not be fully confirmed against an official source. Agencies are renamed and reorganised often, so check the official site before relying on it. See all countries in the cyber agencies directory.
