Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Area Businesses

They pose as carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the middle and upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, each time, claim to belong to finance, police, fire brigade, or municipal police.

Beware of scams and how to react

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

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

after collecting the money, disappear without a trace.
