Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Area, Warns Authorities
They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the Middle and Upper Garda area, proposing subscriptions to magazines of the force.
These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Municipal police.
Recognizing the scams
They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with the law enforcement.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,
have money but stop appearing once contacted.
