Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Target Local Businesses in Garda

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

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

How to recognize scams

They often offer subscriptions to fictional magazines or magazines unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri – simply dial 112 – as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

if they had money, would not show themselves again.
