Garda Area Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri, Offer Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

They are not military personnel, but scammers who, at different times, claim to belong to finance, police, fire brigades, or municipal police.

How to recognize scams and how to react

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines unrelated to 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,

due to money, no longer show themselves.
