Fraudulent Carabinieri Calls Target Garda Region Businesses

They pose as Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda regions, offering subscriptions to magazines related to the force.

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

How to recognize scams and how to respond

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri – just dial 112 – as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

after collecting the money, disappear forever.
