Hi all guys!!
I reply to this thread to CONFIRM that btcflap.com is a SCAM site.
At first I found an article dated May 18th 2015 on this italian site
http://notiziefresche.info/btc-flap-compra-bitcoin-al-10-in-piu-del-valore-di-mercato-20150518.html. The article was in a news list dedicated to cryptocurrencies on my mobilephone app
Coinbits, it reports exactly the same offer to buy bitcoins paying customers a 10% increase of the market value. The article also tells about BTCFlap Inc. CEO "
...BTCFlap Inc. was founded in July 2014 by former professional banking Goldwin Paul, who saw the opportunity and the future development of the financial market intersect with technology, gradually the cryptocurrency grow. 'A day will become mainstream in the financial system and we are not too far away from that point, it is only a matter of a few years,' said Paul Goldwin, the company CEO..." Opportunity to scam people....
I went on their website
http://www.btcflap.com, I read all (not so much at all...)and look at the video tutorial. Then, last night, I decided to prove. 0,20 btc sent to their wallet
https://blockchain.info/it/address/163P3J3zHXsgura8oQX8M2aM2cx3Rv51Te and wait 1-3 confirmation as asked. Nothing. It was late at night and I went sleeping. Some hours after, when I got up in early morning, money was on paypal account I gave them. Amazing! But one thing was very strange : the payment of 58,60 usd was not from BTCFLAP Inc. while object indicated was 0,2btc, but from an italian private person: Giampaolo Marconi, architectural designer, from Verona. Of corse, only a pair of hours later, he opened a Paypal dispute and the amount is actually suspended by them.
So I contacted BTCFlap support crew by the chat on their website, asking to justify that payment. They said that it is not illegal using private Paypal accounts to pay and so they can avoid paypal fees, but Paypal is creating some issues to their customers and better use the bank transfer option next time, that the payment would be cleared faster becouse of their international bank agreements. Then they put me in waiting mode to contact paypal and, few minutes later, they reply that result was a random Paypal control and the issue is from my paypal account, normally solved in 48 hours and that for them the payment was finalized and cleared...all in the right way, by their side!
I tell them to send me back my 0,2 BTC till the payment would be cleared on my paypal account or I would publish and spread their scam all over cryptocurrencies forums on the Net and oh....! The operator suddenly closed the chat and one minute later
the chat option disappeared from BTCflap.com homepage!!!
I registered all the chat content, of course, so I can show it all :

http://gyazo.com/e442f23c0dea06f2223c5be39d3c9959.
And here you can notice they announce 24/7 Live Chat support that is no more present on their website

Everything you can do to spread on the forums about these scammers is of course apreciated.
Thank you
