Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area Phone Calls

They impersonate Carabinieri when telefonically contacting hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, proposing magazine subscriptions from the force.

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

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by those who, after receiving the money, disappear.
