Notes

TZ-CERT confirmed on its own site and FIRST.org; the Tanzania Police Force site could not be reached, so the police cybercrime unit was not confirmed on an official page.
Police Cybercrime Unit is named in press and a National Prosecution Service SOP (which says reports go to a police officer who informs the cybercrime desk); the police site gave no dedicated unit or reporting page, so reporting is via any police station.

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 Tanzania.

Names and links were checked against official government or FIRST/ITU sources. Agencies are renamed and reorganised often, so check the official site before relying on it. See all countries in the cyber agencies directory.
