Fraudulent Carabinieri Imitators Target Garda Businesses for Scams

They impersonate Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda, proposing subscriptions to military magazines.

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

How to recognize scams and how to react

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or those completely unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

would amass money and then disappear.
