Criminals Impersonate Police to Trick Business Owners in Garda Regions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hotel owners, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Médio and Alto Garda regions, offering subscriptions to the military magazines.

These are not members of the military; rather, criminals who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, police, fire brigade, or the Municipal police.

How to Recognize Frauds

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

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

if they had money, would no longer show themselves.
