Hi Guys,
Happy Friday! You might notice more JOB and Accommodation Rental posts coming in. Don’t be alarmed — this is because of the new requirement in the Pinoy AU Sydney Facebook group, where anyone posting there is now required to become a Verified Member here on our forum.
This change was introduced to bring people over to our platform so those who are in their Big Move stage can easily connect with members already in Australia.
Pinoy AU Forum’s ID Verification feature is our initiative to strengthen community security.
As we all know, Facebook and other social platforms are full of scammers and fake profiles. With ID Verification, we’re actively working to curb and deter these issues — both here at www.pinoyau.info and Pinoy AU Sydney group.
I introduced this feature after noticing that most Facebook groups can only rely on user reports — which usually means the scam has already happened before FB admins can step in. That’s a reactive approach, and sadly, it’s why many people still fall victim to scammers in those groups.
Here at Pinoy AU, we’re taking a proactive approach by verifying members early and preventing scammers from entering the community in the first place.
Our advice is to engage more with those who are Verified Members — meaning they have undergone proper ID verification. Deal or transact only here in our www,pinoyau.info platform so you have a recorded conversation. If anything goes wrong, verified identities help us track and address issues quickly.
In addition, upcoming features such as our FREE Pinoy AU Pasabuy service will be available only to Verified Members.
Special features and categories will be unlocked once you become a Verified Member.
