Carabinieri Impersonators Target Garda Business Owners: How to Protect Yourself

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hotel owners, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda area, offering subscriptions to magazines related to the force.

They are not military personnel, but at different times, they claim to belong to finance, the police, the fire brigade, or the municipal police.

How to recognize scams and how to respond

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

who are after money, no longer appear.
