Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Business Owners

They pretend to be Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

These 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 and how to respond

They often offer subscriptions to fictitious magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately contact the real Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

if they are seeking money, will no longer appear.
