Lake Garda Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazines

They impersonate carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs around Lake Garda, offering magazine subscriptions from the Carabinieri Corps.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, firefighters, or municipal police.

Watch out for scams and how to respond

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or publications unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, exercise caution and immediately notify the carabinieri – simply dial 112 – as soon as you suspect to have been targeted by individuals who, after receiving the money, disappear without a trace.
