Cybercriminals are sending out fake PayPal delivery or shipping address change email requests like the one below, which claim that a request for changing the recipients' shipping address has been successful. The fake email provides a link or button to cancel the so-called request. But, the link or button in the fake email goes to a phishing website looking similar to PayPal's website where visitors will be asked to sign into with their PayPal account. But, any attempts to sign into the fake PayPal website will send the visitors' PayPal credentials to the cybercriminals behind the phishing scam.

The link in the fake PayPal email goes to the following phishing website created by cyber criminals:

hxxp://management-changeshippingaddress-ebaycommunication.com

Online users are advised not to visit and attempt to sign into phishing PayPal website with their PayPal credentials.

The cybercriminals behind the scam will use another website as soon as the current one has been discovered and taken down.

This is why it is important that PayPal users remember never to click on a link to sign into their accounts. They should always go directly to www.paypal.com and sign-in from there instead. This will prevent them from becoming victims of phishing scams, where cyber criminals steal their credentials, hijack their accounts, steal their money, and use their accounts fraudulently.

PayPal users who have already been tricked by a phishing scam, are asked to change their passwords and contact PayPal immediately for help.
