Scammers Pose as Carabinieri in Garda Area to Target Local Businesses
They pose as Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to magazines of the force.
They are not military personnel, but scammers who, each time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the municipal police.
How to recognize scams and how to respond
They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or magazines unrelated to the authorities.
Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by those who,
claim to have money, but then disappear.
