Garda Scam Alert: Fake Police Calls Target Hoteliers and Businesses

They pose as Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda area, 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, fire brigade, or the Comune police.

How to recognize scams

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

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

if they had money, would no longer show themselves.
