Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in the middle and upper Garda area, offering magazine subscriptions from the Carabinieri.

They are not members of the military but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, the police, firefighters, or municipal guards.

Beware of scams and how to react

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

Therefore, be alert and immediately notify the genuine carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by those who,

after collecting the money, no longer appear.
