Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area, Authorities Warn

They pose as Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs 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, police, fire brigade, or municipal police.

Recognizing the scams

They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with the law enforcement.

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

if they have money, no longer show themselves.
