Carabinieri Scam Alert: How to Recognize and Report Fraudulent Calls

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.

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

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

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

if they are after money, will no longer be seen.
