Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Businesses

They impersonate carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the middle and upper Garda area, proposing subscriptions to Law enforcement magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or local police.

Beware of scams and how to respond

They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or publications unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be alert and immediately notify the carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

after collecting the money, disappear without a trace.
