Scammers Impersonating Carabinieri Target Garda Area Businesses

They pretend to be carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the middle and upper Garda areas, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or municipal 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 cautious and immediately notify the true carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by those individuals who,

after taking the money, disappear without a trace.
