Scammers Impersonate Authorities to Trick Garda Businesses

They break into Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to magazines of the arma.

They are not military personnel, but scammers who, on various occasions, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Municipal police.

Recognizing scams

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to the law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately report to the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

who would have money, no longer shows up.
