Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Businesses
They pose as Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.
They are not military personnel but scammers who, each time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the municipal police.
Recognizing scams
They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with the law enforcement.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately alert the Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect being targeted by someone who,
having money, no longer shows themselves.
