Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda areas, offering subscriptions to magazines related to the force.

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

How to recognize scams and how to respond

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

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

have money and then disappear.
