Scammers Impersonating Carabinieri Target Garda Business Owners

They impersonate Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, proposing subscriptions to magazines affiliated with the force.

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

How to recognize scams and how to respond

They often offer subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or publications that have nothing to do with law enforcement.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately inform the real Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

when they have money, disappear without a trace.
