Scammers Pose as Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They pose as Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

They are not military personnel, but rather scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the financial police, the police, the fire brigade, or municipal officers.

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

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

if they had the money, will no longer be seen.
