Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Sell Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda areas, proposing subscriptions to military magazines.

They are not members of the military, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the financial police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Comune police.

How to recognize scams

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

So, be vigilant and immediately notify the genuine Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

if they had money, would no longer be seen.
