Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda, Offer Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hotel owners, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in Middle and Upper Garda, offering magazine subscriptions from the force.

These 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 magazines unrelated to law enforcement forces.

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately alert the real Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect that you have been targeted by someone who,

after obtaining money, ceases to make contact.
