Scammers Pretending to Be Carabinieri Target Garda Businesses

They pretend to be Carabinieri when calling hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurants in the Middle and Upper Garda areas, offering subscriptions to the arm’s 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 Municipal police.

How to Recognize Scams

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

Therefore, stay alert and immediately notify genuine Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you’ve been targeted by individuals who,

if they ask for money, will no longer appear.
