Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Local Businesses in Garda

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.

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

How to identify scams

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines that have nothing to do with law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately report to the genuine Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

who claim to have money, no longer show themselves.
