Bitcoin Forum

So yeah, my mum just got an email from Moneywise with the title "Paypal now accepts Bitcoins- 3000% growth in 4 years"

I got her to forward me the email, to which the only thing I saw about Paypal was So basically , they lied lol (unless I'm missing something?)
Here is the email http://info.moneywise.co.uk/HM?a=ENX7CqtxJO8v8SA9MOA-hxbnGHxKVL1SP_cStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_HheD2wV2r

There are some buttons which say "click here for more information ", they take you to this page "Bitcoin Investment guide" http://www.investormailinglists.com/lp/bitcoininvestment/120714/lp.php?listID=TPG120814
At first I thought "scam?" but apparently not! (well Moneywise are quite well known and trusted). It does seem strange this email got sent out today during the mass dumpage , but hey surely this is good advertisement right? (or is it?)
I hope the links work btw.

Hmmm, that 2nd link has quite a bit of BS in it .... 1 out of the 3 accept btc.

Edit: Sending Moneywise an email to find out why they choose to speak shit.

Edit: Searched their number 0203 455 0146 and found this http://www.alternativesolutionsinc.co.uk/landing/hollywood_film/thankyou.html "Invest in major Hollywood Box Office films" , so scam it is. Time for a beer.

Probably a phishing attempt

Yeah defo a phishing attempt but the original email was sent from a well known money advice website who also devote a lot of their website and twitter feed to avoiding scams and phishing attempts. They basically got f'd in the a.

Edit: They also have a magazine. A real one made from...paper.

I think it is rumor presently running. I have seen this in other sites also.

Obvious phising is obvious to me.

Whats a mum? You mean mom?

i dont think it's an official email, probably  a spam :-X :-X

100% Stupid Scam Bullshit  >:(
I better invest in cloud mining than stupid growth rate

And i don't want to store my bitcoin at paypal, because you not anonymous anymore  :(
If they not scam, maybe they gamble your bitcoin until 3000%  :P

lol xD seems legit.

The title isn't even formal.

There is some truth to that claim, although not through that particular website.
Paypal is integrating Bitcoins via some kind of API to a new service called BrainTree. I briefly looked at it while I was implementing a Paypal IPN service last week. I didn't have time to read about it much since I was too busy. I'm sure if you log in to Paypal and look up BrainTree or the look through the Paypal developers area, there should be something about that.
