Fraudulent Carabinieri: How Garda Businesses Can Identify Scams

They impersonate Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda regions, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

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

How to Recognize Scams

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply call 112 — as soon as you have the suspicion of being targeted by individuals who,

if they have money, no longer appear.
