Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Region Businesses

They pretend to be Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurants in the Medio and Alto Garda region, offering subscriptions to military magazines of the arme.

These are not members of the military, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or the Comune police.

How to recognize scams

They often suggest subscriptions to non-existent magazines or those unrelated to the law enforcement.

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

after obtaining money, ceases to be seen.
