Garda Area Scammers Impersonate Authorities to Sell Fake Magazine Subscriptions
They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to military magazines.
These are not military personnel but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Municipality police.
How to recognize scams
They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with law enforcement forces.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect being targeted by individuals who,
if they demand money, no longer make themselves visible.
