Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda: How to Recognize and React

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to magazines affiliated with the force.

They 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.

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the true Carabinieri – just dial 112 – as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

after receiving the money, disappear and do not show up again.
