Computer Fraud Group / Cybercrime unit / Internet fraud unit

I think that "unit" sounds better, but I've seen "group" used a lot. Cybercrime is also styled "cyber-crime" and "cyber crime." "Internet crime" is also used and all variations mixed as far as "crime" and "fraud" go.

Thanks, Neil. I hope today has been a good deal for everyone, the weather aside. My hometown just got a thorough drubbing by the hurricane .

online crime group

Telemático isn't always easy, because many dictionaries just say "telematics", and nobody uses that word.

However, if you go to the group's website (it's part of the Spanish guardia civil), it's explained there.

"El Grupo de Delitos Telemáticos fue creado para investigar, dentro de la Unidad Central Operativa de la Guardia Civil, todos aquellos delitos que se cometen a través de Internet."

I'm leaving my answer here even though Jenny pipped me to the post, because mine includes references.

Computer crime squad

"The FBI's National Computer Crime Squad (NCCS) investigates violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986."
An alternative to Jenni and Phil's suggestions, gets shedloads of google hits both with and without "" quotes.
