Garda Area Scammers Pose as Carabinieri to Target Local Businesses

They pose as Carabinieri when phoning hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, proposing subscriptions to magazines associated with the force.

These are not military personnel; instead, they are骗子 (scammers) who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or municipal police force.

How to recognize scams

They often offer subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to the law enforcement.

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

who would be after money, stops showing up.
