Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri, Targeting Garda Business Owners
They pose as Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the middle and upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to military magazines.
These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the urban police.
Beware of scams and how to respond
They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with law enforcement agencies.
Therefore, be alert and immediately notify the Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,
after receiving the money, disappear.
