Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda to Sell Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to police magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who occasionally claim to belong to the finance department, police, fire brigade, or Comune enforcement.

How to recognize scams

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or publications unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

if they had money, would not show up again.
