No URL from properties and hovering over the button does not produce a
URL either.
Not prepared to click it to find out as it is far to easy to mask
where is goes.

Well, you can check that it's a valid paypal link if https://www.paypal.com
appears in the title bar, and the padlock at the top of the browser
says:

"Paypal Inc"
"San Jose CA"
"US"

I had a look at their paypal link and it looks valid.

There are links to 5 UK free SMS sites here if you need them.
