TNM Mpamba Fraud: How to Report It and Stop the Money

If you sent money to a scammer through TNM Mpamba, or money left your TNM Mpamba account without your permission, contact TNM Mpamba straight away and ask them to block the receiving account. Wallet money moves fast, so the first minutes matter most.

Do this first

  1. Call TNM Mpamba’s official line below, or use help inside the official TNM Mpamba app. Never use a number from a text, a caller or a search result.
  2. Give them the transaction ID, the amount, the time and the number or account you paid, and ask them to block it.
  3. Change your PIN and password if anyone may know them. TNM Mpamba will never ask for your PIN or a one-time code.
  4. Report it to the police too: see who handles cybercrime in Malawi, and keep screenshots of every message and payment.
