Garda Police Scam Alert: Recognize and Report Fake Law Enforcement Calls

They contact hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda by phone, proposing subscriptions to magazines of the Carabinieri.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to be part of the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Municipal police.

Recognizing the scams

They often offer subscriptions to fake magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

money in hand, disappear without a trace.
