Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area, Warn Authorities

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

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, the police, firefighters, or municipal police.

How to recognize scams and how to respond

They often offer subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines unrelated to 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 someone who,

if they have money, stops appearing.
