Scam Calls in Bardolino: Fake Verona Police Officers Target Residents

Scam phone calls have been reported in Bardolino, with people posing as officers from the Verona Police Headquarters and invoking law-enforcement and judicial authority to appear credible. The calls aim to trick residents into believing they are dealing with legitimate authorities.

During the phone contact, callers claim there are supposed legal or public-safety issues and try to obtain personal information, phone numbers, codes, or other sensitive details. Residents are urged to stay cautious: if a request seems suspicious, do not share any personal or sensitive data, end the conversation, and verify the situation through official channels.

If there are doubts, contact law-enforcement directly using only institutional contact details, without relying on numbers provided during the call. Authorities also encourage residents to share these warnings, especially with people more vulnerable to scams, to help prevent fraud in the area.
