Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Garda Region Businesses

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the Medio and Alto Garda regions, offering subscriptions to magazines associated with the force.

This is not about military personnel, but rather scammers who each time claim to belong to finance authorities, police, firefighters, or municipal officers.

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

Therefore, stay alert and immediately notify the genuine Carabinieri – simply dial 112 – as soon as you suspect that you have been targeted by individuals who,

after collecting the money, disappear and do not show themselves again.
