This is a voicemail message does it seem genuine or fraudulent please? "Hi, good afternoon. My name is Will Taylor. I'm just calling on behalf of PayPal. I'm just reaching out to you today to discuss your website oaklakefisheries.co.uk and the payment method you are currently accepting from PayPal. So looking at the website I can see that you are currently on the old version of PayPal Complete Payment, so we would be looking to try and get you upgraded to the new version now as soon as possible. With the upgrade comes various different features and benefits, one of which being additional security options through our 3D secure facility and also and depending on what shopping care provider you're using, you may be able to avail yourself of some of Paypal's more well known features. One of which being PayPal Pay Entry, which is Paypal's installment program that would allow your customers to spread the cost of their shot of their purchase over three different payments. Do you think is you get all on your front just like a normal transaction and also there's no financial risk for you as PayPal will assume all financial risk involved. And we are also offering Apple and Google Pay as alternative payment methods. And as part of the update, you can even get a lower transaction fee of 1.2% + 30 P, So you look at saving in the region of about 1.7%. It's a totally free update, no subscription, no contractual obligation, nothing like that at all. It requires is about 10 to 15 minutes of your time and the update can be installed and implemented quite easily over the phone. So I will try and reach out to you again though at the end of the week about this. In the meantime, if you want to discuss it further, just drop me an e-mail at WALTAYLOR at paypal.com. That's WILTAYLOR at paypal.com and so thank you very much for your time and I do hope you have a lovely day. Lovely evening and a lovely week mate, take Care now.

Same here, proposition to upgrade to "Paypal Complete Payment" with lower transaction fee.

Email comes from: a paypal.com email adress, mentions data about the internet site that uses paypal and looks very real !
