Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Business Owners

They pose as Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to magazines affiliated with the force.

This is not about military personnel, but about scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, the police, fire brigade, or municipal officers.

How to Recognize Scams

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement forces.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you’ve been targeted by individuals who,

if they are after your money, tend to disappear.
