Scam Alert: Carabinieri Pretenders Offer Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They pose as carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs of the Middle and High Garda region, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or local police.

Beware of scams and how to react

They often offer subscriptions to fake magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately alert the carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

after taking the money, disappear without a trace.
