Fraudsters Impersonate Carabinieri to Exploit Local Businesses

They impersonate Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda regions, proposing subscriptions to magazines of the armed forces.

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

How to recognize scams and how to react

They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or publications that have nothing to do with the law enforcement agencies.

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

since they are after money, cease to appear.
