Garda Region Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri for Fake Subscriptions

They pretend to be Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda region, offering subscriptions to the force’s magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to be part of the financial police, police, fire brigade, or the Municipal police.

Recognizing scams

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

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

if they have money, no longer show themselves.
