Scammers Pose as Police to Trick Garda Businesses into Fake Magazine Subscriptions

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

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

Recognizing scams

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

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

who is after money, stops appearing.
