Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area Melking Unqualified Subscriptions

They impersonate 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 department, police, fire brigade, or municipal guards.

Recognizing the scams

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect being targeted by individuals who,

if they seek money, disappear without a trace.
