Scammers Pose as Carabinieri Offering Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They impersonate Carabinieri when telephonically contacting hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

They are not soldiers, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance sector, police, fire brigade, or municipal police.

How to Recognize Scams

They often suggest subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement.< /p>

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

would ask for money, and then disappear.
