Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Trick Garda Area Businesses
They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to the regiment’s magazines.
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 suggest subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or publications that have nothing to do with the law enforcement.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — by dialing 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,
would want money, and then disappears.
