Scammers Impersonate Police for Fake Magazine Subscriptions in Garda

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

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

How to Recognize Scams

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

Therefore, beware and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — simply call 112 — as soon as you suspect you have become the target of someone who,

who would have money, no longer appears.
