Lake Garda Scammers Pretend to Be Carabinieri in Fraudulent Subscriptions

They pose as Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs of Lake Garda’s middle and upper areas, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

This is not about military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, police, fire brigade, or municipal police forces.

Beware of scams and how to respond

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

Therefore, be alert and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who, after receiving the money, cease to appear.
