Scammers Impersonate Police to Scam Garda Businesses–How to Recognize

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Medio and Alto Garda areas, proposing subscriptions to military magazines.

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

How to recognize scams and how to react

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

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

has the sum of money, and then disappears.
