Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area to Trick Local Businesses

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to magazines from the armed.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to be part of the finance police, the police, firefighters, or municipal officers.

How to recognize scams and how to respond

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately inform the Carabinieri – just dial 112 – as soon as you suspect that you have been targeted by someone who,

after obtaining the money, disappears.
