Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Hoteliers and Shops

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to the arma‘s magazines.

These individuals are not military personnel but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire department, or the Comune‘s traffic police.

How to recognize scams

They often propose subscriptions to fake magazines or publications that have nothing to do with law enforcement forces.

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately notify the true Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you sense you have been targeted by individuals who,

after obtaining money, cease to show up or make contact again.
