Impostors Pose as Carabinieri, Targeting Garda Region Businesses

They pose as Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda region, proposing subscriptions to the arma‘s magazines.

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

How to recognize scams

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

after obtaining money, does not reappear.
