Scammers Impersonate Authorities in Garda Area, Avoid Falling Victims

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurants in the Medio and Alto Garda areas, proposing magazine subscriptions from the arm.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance authorities, police, firefighters, or the Municipality police.

How to recognize scams

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

Therefore, stay alert and immediately report to the Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

if they need money, disappears quickly.
