The site was created on November 15, 2010. It has not history and this is often the key to a scam site. They only bought the domain name for a year. So to make this kind of statement on the reference you cite is a huge exaggeration.

Great thank you!

Cittobay was founded in United Kingdom as a retail electronics store


It uses the name 'CittoBay Ltd' which is an English style company name, but no such company is registered at Companies House, which is a UK legal requiremnt.

No such company exists and it is a fraud.

Hi,

I ordered a white iPhone 4 off the cittobay.com website on the 23rd feb. it still hasn't arrived and i'm really worried. can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,
by Bubbles Sat Mar 26, 2011 12:37 am
Hello becko, how did you provide payment? If by credit card, you should contact the credit card provider.

Have you followed up with the company?

Did you get any kind of confirmation of your order?

I encourage you to work with the way you provided payment on your order to get payment rescinded.

Welcome to ScamWarners and please let us know how this works out for you.
