Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area for Fraudulent Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the central 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 municipal police.

Beware of scams and how to react

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

Therefore, be alert and immediately notify the carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have fallen victim to someone who,

after receiving the money, disappears.
