Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area to Offer Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They pretend to be Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurants in the Medio and Alto Garda areas, offering magazine subscriptions from the force.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to be part of the financial police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Comune firefighters.

How to recognize scams

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to the law enforcement.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect that you have been targeted by individuals who,

if they ask for money, will no longer appear.
