Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

Pretending to be Carabinieri, they contact hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in Medio and Alto Garda by phone, offering subscriptions to the arma‘s 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 Comune police.

Recognizing Scams

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

Therefore, exercise caution and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

seeks money and then disappears.
