Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Businesses and Residents

They impersonate Carabinieri when contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military-related magazines.

They are not genuine military personnel but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance, police, fire brigade, or local government authorities.

How to recognize scams and how to respond

They often propose subscriptions to fake magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately inform the genuine Carabinieri by calling 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

after collecting the money, disappear and are no longer to be found.
