Garda Region Scammers Impersonate Police to Sell Fake Magazines

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda regions, proposing subscriptions to military magazines.

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

Recognizing scams

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

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately notify the authentic Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect being targeted by individuals who,

despite having money, disappear.
