Garda Scammers Impersonate Police to Sell Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda, offering subscriptions to arms magazines.

They are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the financial police, police, fire department, or the Municipal Police.

How to recognize scams

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or ones that have nothing to do with law enforcement agencies.

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

if they have taken money, do not show themselves again.
