Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Area Businesses
“`html
They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hotel owners, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.
They are not military personnel but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, the police, the fire brigade, or the municipal police.
How to recognize scams
They often offer subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately report to the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,
if they have money, will disappear completely.
