False Police Scammers Target Garda Hoteliers with Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They break the Carabinieri contact by phone to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs of Middle and Upper Garda, offering subscriptions to military-related magazines.

They are not actual soldiers, but scammers who, each time, claim to belong to finance, the police, the fire brigade, or the Municipal police.

Recognizing scams

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

if they had money, no longer show themselves.
