Scammers Pretending to Be Carabinieri Target Garda Businesses

They pretend to be Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurant owners in the Middle and Upper Garda area, offering subscriptions to the force‘s magazines.

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

Recognizing scams

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or magazines unrelated to the law enforcement.

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

has money, stops showing up.
