Scammers Pretending to Be Carabinieri Target Garda Business Owners

They pose as Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda areas, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.

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

How to identify scams and how to react

They often offer subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to the law enforcement.

Therefore, stay alert and immediately notify the Carabinieri – just dial 112 – as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

after receiving the money, disappear without a trace.
