Fraudulent Calls Pretending to be Carabinieri Offer Fake Magazine Subscriptions

Pretending to be Carabinieri, they contact hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda by phone, offering subscriptions to the weapon‘s magazines.

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

How to recognize scams

They often suggest subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or publications unrelated to the law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, stay alert and immediately notify the Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

if they are after money, disappear from view.
