Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to magazines of 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

They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to the law enforcement.

Therefore, stay alert and immediately inform the Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have fallen victim to someone who,

has money, and then disappears.
