Hey community,
Just a quick heads up — we recently discovered a fake account on our community site using the name "Josh Vandenburg." This person sent friend requests to several of our women members and, once accepted, tried to move conversations off-platform to WhatsApp.
This individual has zero connection to Two Birds Church. The account has been blocked and removed.
Even with phone and email validation in place, determined people can still find ways to slip through — that's just the reality of any online space.
Simple rule of thumb going forward: only accept friend requests from people you've actually met at a ceremony or event, or from staff you recognize. If you're unsure who someone is, just ignore it. Protecting your space is never rude.
A’ho 💛
Same with me. Thanks for the “heads up”. I believed him when he said he was part of the community and was initially excited to connect with someone. Blocked him now.
