Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Contacting Garda Region Businesses

“`html

They impersonate Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda region, offering subscriptions to military-related magazines.

They are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, the police, firefighters, or municipal officials.

How to recognize scams

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or those with no relation to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you’ve been targeted by someone who, if they had money, no longer shows themselves.
