Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area to Trick Business Owners
They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs 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 finance police, police, firefighters, or municipal agents.
Recognizing the scams
They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to the law enforcement.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately contact the real Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you are targeted by someone who,
has money, and then disappears.
