Scammers Pose as Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They pose as Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurant owners in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance department, police, fire brigade, or local police.

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

Therefore, be careful and immediately notify the genuine Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

since they have money, disappear without a trace.
