Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area Contacts
They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda areas, proposing subscriptions to magazines of the force.
They are not military personnel, but scammers who, at different times, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the municipal police.
How to recognize scams and how to respond
They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with law enforcement forces.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,
withdrew a sum of money and then disappears.
