Scammers Pose as Police to Trick Garda Hoteliers and Retailers
They pose as Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to the arma magazines.
These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, the police, the fire brigade, or the Comune police.
How to recognize scams
They often offer subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to the law enforcement.
Therefore, be vigilant and immediately notify the Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect being targeted by someone who,
after obtaining money, no longer shows themselves.
