Scammers Impersonate Law Enforcers in Garda Area, Warn Authorities

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to the arma magazines.

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

How to recognize scams

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately alert the genuine Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

if they had money, do not show themselves again.
