Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Business Owners

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda areas, offering subscriptions to magazines related to the force.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who alternately claim to belong to the finance police, general police, fire brigade, or municipal police.

How to recognize scams and how to react

They often suggest subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or publications unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

who would have money, no longer shows themselves.
