Report the scam (a denuncia or a querela) to the Polizia Postale or at any police or Carabinieri station, and call your bank at once if money left your account.

The online pre-complaint is being tested only at some police offices in Lazio; elsewhere you file the complaint at a police office or Carabinieri station. A querela must be filed within three months of learning of the crime, unless the law says otherwise. The national cyber agency (ACN/CSIRT Italia) and CERT-AgID have no reporting service for scams against individuals, and there is no single national victim support service.
