You have to just love the total bull-**** sites like "Scam Advisor" take the time and trouble to publish!
In reality, the real scam is perhaps "Scam Advisor" (and the numerous US based sites like them!), who essentially publish total rubbish and then run and hide behind the CDA (Communications Decency Act), defined by Wikipedia as "a US law found partially unconstitutional!
Of course defamatory reports such as this one can only be found on U.S. websites because under the European Directive 2000/31/EC (Article 14) it would be an offence to host defamatory content such as this.
In reality of course Bella Vita
Moda Limited (BVM) is a fully compliant company incorporated in England and Wales with an online store hosted by BigCommerce in the U.S. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BigCommerce), who host thousands of stores and transact more than $8 billion in sales anually. In addition, BVM has management offices in Italy and Spain, together with storage depository in Italy, Spain and Hong Kong.
BVM also has a spcialist consulting and design team serving individual designers and corporate customers.
BVM currently has a stock of more than 800 products, all of which are fully authenticated pre-owned items. The website of BVM is fully compliant, with correctly drafted and prominently published Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Contrary to what is written above, BVM is not related to any "high risk sites"!
The website is not "very new" (as falsely stated in this report) as it has existed for more than 3 years. However, when the business was recently incorporated, the nomain name was changed to corespond with the company name.
To summarise, reports such as these are in themselves criminal and if publsihed in Europe the offenders would be subject to severe recourse measures. In the U.S. this is not the case and as stated above, sites such as this usually hide behind the "Communications Decency Act" to avoid prospecution. There actions are disgraceful and can be severely damaging, but hey they're Americans and that's what Americans thrive on!
