Scammers Pose as Carabinieri to Trick Garda Business Owners

The Carabinieri impersonators contact hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio e Alto Garda by phone, proposing magazine subscriptions from the arm.

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

Recognizing scams

They often suggest subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to law enforcement forces.

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

if they have money, do not show themselves anymore.
