Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to army magazines.

They are not soldiers but scammers who, from time to time, claim to be part of the finance police, police, firefighters, or the Municipality‘s security forces.

Recognizing scams

They often suggest subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to law enforcement.

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

if they have money, tend to disappear.
