Fraudulent Calls Pretending to Be Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

Pretending to be Carabinieri, they contact hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda by phone, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.

These are not military personnel, but fraudsters who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigades, or municipal officers.

How to recognize scams and how to respond

They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or those unrelated to the law enforcement forces.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri – just dial 112 – as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

after collecting the money, disappear from sight.
