Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to army magazines.

These individuals are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the financial police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Comune police.

How to Recognize Scams

They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with the law enforcement authorities.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by those who,

want money and then disappear.
