Scammers Faking Carabinieri Offer Fake Magazine Subscriptions in Garda

They pretend to be Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda areas, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.

They are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or municipal police force.

How to Recognize the Scams

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately alert the genuine Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by those who,

if they have money, will no longer show themselves.
