POF.com Reviews

I tried the free POF dating site and when it gave me the option to upgrade, I chose the 1 month subscription but it boosted me to a 119.00 year long subscription without my consent. I have emailed the POF.com site numerous times and have never got a reply back. They took 119.00 from me and I got nothing. I canceled my subscription and did not use the service, I believed I would get my money back or my Regions Bank would cancel my subscription and get my money back to my account but because POF offers no phone support and no receipt of purchase my worthless Regions bank says I was responsible for getting that before I engaged in commerce with POF; although REGION'S BANK did not block the sale for 5 days because they said it was in a pending status. Beware of this site, it has no phone support and will boost your bank account and leave it in pending status for days until your worthless bank leaves you high and dry.

POF was once a trusted and wonderful site. In recent years, however the site has become home to plenty of fake and spam accounts. As quickly as you report them, the fakes return fast. POF takes no preventative action whatsoever against these fake accounts. In addition, I was issued a warning for being a "false reporter" of fake accounts when all of my reports were justified.

I agree with everyone who gave it 1 star. The 5 stars must be fake. I can't judge or comment on the people on it. That is out of anyone's control. BUT POF itself has more roadblocks than any other dating site. To name a few... VERY gender discriminatory. Woman can message as many men as they want to all day and night. Men are allowed ONE (1) per 24 hours. You would think they would want you to be on the site as long as possible. But it's one nice message and poof. That's it for the day.

After being on Plenty of Fish for a month or so, I finally paid for 1 month yesterday. The site said I had 130 likes and views, but I couldn't see any until I paid. Of the 40 plus who "liked" me, about 25% were non existing accounts. Even if the like was only a couple of hours old, when I clicked on the person, the account was no longer available. These likes were usually from pretty or desirable women. I think POF uses people whose job it is to send out multiple likes. In that way, we pay just to see all these fake accounts.

I upgraded, complete waste of money, they don't give a monthly option so you have to pay up front minimum $60. Total waste, and it's weird how say if you're 60 and you want to search for younger women, they don't allow it, it cuts you off at like 45 minimum. Um, what if someone older dates younger, or younger dates older? If they are of age, they should have that right, especially if you pay money.... I can't say everything else I'd like to say, but just trust me, go hit the bars, casinos, grocery store, gas station, co workers, this site ain't it. Save your money fellas, I wasted mine.

I have had 2 POF accounts and both times I've had scammers. The story is the same. They come from Ottawa but they are in the military or oil rigs. They insist on download Whatsapp app or Google. Chat. The profile doesn't compare to their story. They put on fake charm. They insist you stay online. It's creepy but if I can figure it out security should be able to.

A funny thing happened when I was trying to login and pay POF.com for a Discount Deal on a One-Year Subscription!!! My login name & password, saved in my username/password software: FAILED! I tried to type it in directly, and that FAILED! I wrote them three times, they NEVER RESPONDED. My Conclusion: do NOT T-R-U-S-T POF.com!!!

The site constantly sends notifications that people are interested in you and then you when you click on them, it says, "Sorry you can't view this person because their preferences are not for you. Find someone else"...lol.

I've been through many dating platforms over the years and POF is honestly the biggest headache-inducing service that I've used. I've been on their platform on 2 different occasions with little-to-no differing experiences. I spent almost 2 1/2 years on there from October 2018 to February 2021 and all I found were either bot accounts or dead silence. I returned to the service this past April and out of all of the accounts that I've had conversations with, only TWO of them were real people. This service is littered with bot accounts and I get contacted by at least one per day.

Dangerous app. Full of scammers/potential kidnappers. No quality control or verification at all. This app is full of bot accounts and catfishers. They all immediately ask to move to Snapchat and then they try to lure you in with either a relationship (this is a dating app, after all) or a sugar daddy/baby type setup. They all inevitably fail to send a picture of themselves with a simple hand gesture, such as this one.

It’s okay for a man to give out fake alias and material status. Not to mention fake pix. My account gets deleted for no good reason. Plenty of scams on there. Always trying to lure you off POF and that’s ok.

I subscribe without realizing how poor customer service is. It is so difficult to sign into one's account when they re-set their password. It is very frustrating to try to get any help! I would not recommend anyone to subscribe to this website. In addition, there are so many fake photos, scammers and not a good place to meet anyone!

If you are single, don't use this site. The men have many issues. One tried to stalk me. The other threatened me on texting. I called the police. Pay for a real dating site and not this one! Most are from out the country, looking for money!

Fake profiles galore. Scammers. A horrible waste of time. They take your money and give you nothing in return. I believe they have their own workers pretending to be persons looking for romantic partners.

If it exist I couldn't find it, no way to isolate matches to local area, I had people msg me that lived across the country. Useless. Got quite a few message notifications, when I went to messages nothing there. You couldn't make an app harder to use, I was constantly trying to isolate to age or location and it was a painstaking process. Whatever you do do not subscribe, that's another sad story of how to cancel.

Full of bad people. They do nothing about one a stalker if seven years ugly, weirdo, age 41, Fonthill. Name is Max and a trucker, like I'd date one of them??! No thanks. Another whose name starts with J and plays ice hockey in St. Catharines and is 53 but lies stating he's 49 and single with no vhiy when he's divorced with a daughter and bitter and twisted and hates women. He treats them like garbage. That's what you find on POF. Trash. Join Bumble and Tinder instead. They are far better and not rub by discriminating control freaks either.

I signed up for POF and after a couple of visits to the site it locked me out. I have tried numerous things to get back on to no avail. It will give you some help if you're willing to pay an additional fee. I tried calling sending emails and resetting my password nothing works. I cannot log in.

I've been a member for over 15 years. The real people are normally mentally ill set to call another mentally ill. The majority who answer are catfish. Today, I ran into one named **. They were impersonating an officer. They ran off when I threatened with the FBI. I think most dating apps house paying scammers.

The truth - as far as my experience - is that Plenty of Fish is five stars better than something like OKCupid or Tinder. It's actually free, except for Likes - you can send and receive messages (the unseen Likes aren't as aggravating because there's no swiping). It's laid-back, not gamified (you search dozens of profiles at leisure. The searching isn't in-your-face invasive swiping. The worries about privacy aren't legitimate, because earnings and birth date, and even name, aren't public. I haven't had any issues with "robots" contacting me. I appreciate the fact that the design has stayed reliably constant, and gives users the chance to feel comfortable with the arrangement, long-term. If one isn't desperate and just wants to chat and get to know people, this site is my pick for a free dating site.

I purchased a 3 month subscription to this service. I canceled in less than a week, due to the amount of scammer messages encountered. $55 should be coming back to me in a prorated refund. "Support" personnel say no refunds, then go on for paragraphs in PR about the site. A BBB complaint has been filed. I advise that you steer clear of this site!

POF.com is nothing but scammers or losers! The members will not answer or are too good for you and will not allow messaging! If someone does answer you they immediately want you to start hard core texting with them by giving you their phone number or compelling you to use WhatsApp! If you like pervs then I recommend pof.com. Plenty of Lame!

I have nothing against Plenty of Fish. But the people who are on there are Fake and other guys are looking for sex and who cannot man up. Being Ghosted too many times. Why must people getting onto these sites just to be MEAN to honest and caring women???? This world is crazy and unsafe. I am disappointed that it has to be this way. I have had many guys hit up on me but I figure them out for what they are and what they want and then they stop talking to me. I am not on these sites to play their head games. I am not desperate and dumb. I met a guy that was 8 years older than I am and it worked out fine for awhile until I found that his family was a priority over me. I asked him, "Why do you want a relationship if you cannot commit because that is what you told me?" Come to find out he had Bad Credit, drives without tags on his truck and only says one word text messages.

So far every single "person" who has made contact with me, has hidden or deleted their account after I replied. Several immediately tried to take the conversation elsewhere. This tells me the profiles are fake. Also, I suspect the site itself creates some of these fake profiles so they can send messages to your "free" account, which you must subscribe in order to read. Stay far, far away.

I've reported so many scammers, fake profiles, catfishing to the company without them doing anything in reference to deleting those men. I have been on here since May 2021, and on three dates. One date was fine, yet chose another woman. Second guy over a lite lunch wanted to argue about politics, and the third guy was controlling and would not let me get a word in edge wise. With him, I got up, told him how I felt and walked out.

Wrote 77 out of thousands... that were SOO Fuglie they make your eyes HURT... Got 6, yes 6 replies!!! And none of those would reply a second time... I'm always polite, never sleazy... Can't search the ages you want... This site should be named plenty of ZOMBIES... cause a lot of them look like they should have been BURIED a long time ago!!! If the UNdead are your thing, this is the site for you!!!

This is a terrible company. Scam artists. They are extremely prejudice staff members. They will BAN your account if you are a part of the LGB2+ community. Every time I re-registered my profile. After they kept deleting my profile. Until they finally banned my number entirely. My friends also have the same experience. It is disgusting. You have to be whether Straight (or maybe fully gay) to not be banned. And if gay??? You better ** behave. Or you will get deleted fast. Say anything gay-like?? You risk being deleted. Even if you are a paying subscriber! Like me. And; you will NOT get your money back. They are also AGE prejudice. You can only search for matches if they are within 7 years age gap from you. This is absurd for older men and women who don't care so much about age. We are lonely and just want someone in our generation! Good enough.

This site is the absolute worst dating site. After one month of paid use they cancelled my subscription (without advising me) and then claimed that I had violated their terms of service. When questioned regarding this they refused to provide any information or proof and kept my money.

Every other person on this site is fake and a scammer. I am dealing with one as I write this. This site should be either free or not allowed to charge money for a product that is not safe to use. Why should I have to worry about being scammed from a multi million dollar company?

Plenty of Fish is a complete joke and they ban you if you say anything remotely conservative. Clearly, the site is full of liberals. Also, no one on there is legitimate. All you get is the same messages from the same people over and over and they even use the same lines almost as if they are robots. There is no proof of identification system to prove that you're real so basically a cat could make an account with a human face and be on there. It's a complete joke and it's complete nonsense.

Have not been able to signup with them, Tried various time in the last 3 months, There are a couple of questions they ask you, When you click on to it nothing happens, I have contacted their customer service about it, I don't know how many times, None of them seem to understand a person, When are they going to resolve this problem with their site, I have talk to other people, Who said the same thing happen to them also when they tried to signup with Plenty Of Fish.

I signed up only to have issues with POF still profiling me with pictures from google. Currently at private mother's birthday party, called twice to get my acct deleted. Wiped clean. I'm still on pof. WTF

Paid in full for 3 months but went on it 2 weeks later and I'm not in the system. Refund the money or fix the problem you goofs. I'm tired of having this happen and want you to be clear. It is called fraud and whether or not it is in Canada or the states you can be charged. Now time for you to own up or ship out. I either get my money back or I have charges brought against you. And I'm sure this site is monitored.

I report scammers every day and nothing will be done. They let anybody sign up and seriously have no shame to let poor women get burned. Sites like this should be shut down if they can't get their stuff together. Too many women get scammed out of money because they are desperate.

Do not sign up for auto pay. They make it impossible to cancel. I am about to cancel my credit card to stop them. It's been 6 months and every effort I have made has not stopped them from taking out payments.

I am a retired US Marine, I uploaded a pic to my personal profile of the Marine Corps logo and it was removed due to their communist, cowardly guidelines. I can not get ahold of anyone, there is a phone number for customer service, when you call it states "You may leave a message but they are not checked" lol. What is the point?

I can't speak for the experience a woman might have so this is mostly for the guys. Be warned, I'd guess about 65% of the accounts you encounter will be fakes/scammers. They all seem to be bots advertising the same "hook up" website. Reporting them is a fruitless endeavor because there are just too many to keep up with. Honestly with the amount of them there are I have a feeling the owners of the site are paid really well to allow the scammers on. For the remaining real accounts it's the usual dating site experience; flakes, women just looking for Instagram followers, and morbidly obese single moms with 3 baby daddies. Probably best to just stay away.

This website does absolutely nothing to police or verify any of the people that post profiles of their site. This company can create and design and collect money from paying members yet it is unable to ensure that paying member receive the services we are paying for. I’ve wasted money and valuable time on this site and in 3 months only was able to verify two real women on the site. Everyone else I communicated with was a fake profile or phishing. I was solicited by 2 prostitutes and made countless of reports of fake profiles to the website. No one ever followed up with me about my claims. Horrible site and customer service is nonexistent. They are quick to try to sell you additional tokens that they claim will enhance your chances of meeting someone and being noticed. Yeah sure. Another scam for them to take your money. Stay away from this site.

Tried several times very patiently over these months to sign up. But the 2020 Covid or not the site is unresponsive. The only chat support available are very limited PST hours, and then an idiot BOT that only responds via email BOT. Thank goodness I never paid any money.

This the one of the dating apps out there, ok if you are a premium paying member the app tells you what age bracket you need to date so if you are a man or a woman and wants to date someone younger they do not allow it. Seriously what century you guys live on? If a person is 18 years or older is up to the person who they should or not date, is an user app all other dating apps get this but POF lives in the 15th century acting as user's parents, is probably one of the glitchiest apps specially the messaging system sometimes does not show when you message someone in the past, app is disorganized, messy and not user friendly.

In today's world the Modern Women, seems to go with the 5% of the guys whom are high earners, or High Profile men, and the site for a guy whom is of a middle class man, of quality whom has his life together but not a high earner this wouldn't be the place for him due to most of the women look at your profile to see this, then you may get a text here and there but it wouldn't be anything where they would wanna pursue a friendship let along a relationship. Best bet is to meet a woman at a social place, or gym. You will have a better outcome, due to some of these women are just here to be flattered, already in a relationship but looking for a "Simp" or "Beta" outside of their own relationships, or just for fun with nothing of intent....

It's horrible. I was active for almost a year, every single guy that messaged me wanted to hook up or send ** pics. It's gross. I really wish people just had some decency. I specifically put on my profile what I was interested in and apparently no one knows how to read either!

Site is good. It just the people. However, you are very getting responses for your likes. Usually, if some responds to you, you will be able to respond back to them if you are not a member. In the end you will be able to hopefully find your mate on this site.

Candidates lie a lot about themselves and that's a big turnoff for me and others I know who are signed up. I am still a member but proceed with lots of caution. The pandemic has kept me off the website but now that things are opening up again I will began looking again.

The site doesn’t filters scammers or fake profiles…. So many profiles are stolen pics of other people and then they start talking to you and quickly give you some sad story and then ask for money. The site should try to prevent fake profiles or scammers.

Website is how I met my lady boyfriend Jimmy **! Really cared a lot about the guy but he turned out to be a cheater but a pretty great website all in all, if only I could block the cheaters that would be great! But a good safe dating website.

Hardly anyone is accurate on their location on the website. I have had more bad experiences of a profile stating Houston but they live overseas. And I have found many scammers who ask for money. I assume these individuals are successful, not with me. And they continue to pop up on the website under a different user name.

Pretty good site. It allows for all members to search by location and to send/receive messages. One can post in their profile a write-up of as little as one sentence or as long as half a page. There are plenty of members in every age category.

People lie on their profiles. They lie about their ages and the pictures are not recent which hey when you meet them you are going to see that. I have found no one worth it on POF. Perhaps their screening should be better?

It is filled with nothing but scammers! People from other countries who want you to send them money or people looking for sex! Nobody is really looking for a relationship on that site! I have tried it and so have a couple friends. Same experience! BAD!!!

POF is filled with a lot of bot and scammers. The scammers usually try to get you involved in an online relationship with someone they believed to be a U.S. Soldier who then began asking for money for various false service-related needs. Victims of these scams can lose tens of thousands of dollars and face a slim likelihood of recovering any of it on their own.

Paid money and when I tried to message various ladies was told they had their messages turned off. This seemed strange as in their profiles it asked to message them. I knew some of these women locally and later asked them why they had their messages turned off. Both said they didn't have them turned off. I've had this happen 7 or 8 times. It's a scam. Also, POF said they would notify me and ask my permission to allow them to use my credit card once my monthly subscription had run out. They didn't notify me and just put the credit card through. In it for the money and offer lousy service in return.

I was in this app for 8 years, I met my ex here and we was together for 6 years, I came back to the app and after weeks of using it I noticed that I couldn't find anybody I like, found out I can only date guys around my age. I wrote them and they basically said that I have to date someone around my age and that's it... I hate that now I cant date who I want so now I'm using Meetme... I CAN CHOOSE WHO I WANT!!!!

I have been a user of this site for the better part of a few yrs. Online dating is tricky. I have used 6 different sites. I have a few things on the ball, so I typically am fortunate to be able to get some traction, though I am selective. I just had my detailed account eliminated with no notice; no explanation; no recourse, nor right of Due Process. I don't know why. Tried to figure it out. It is possible my account was hacked--you will see that FREQUENTLY on this site. I did have one girl get mildly irked when I would not give my number out--she initially reached out to me. Maybe she reported me--but you think POF can see through this.

Plenty of Fish is a free/subscriber online dating service. At best it has an unethical business model. At worst it is a site that has been allowed to violate an individual's right to due process. I was a member for a period of time beginning in February, 2021 until early March when my account was closed due to undisclosed "violations of their terms of use and/or Community Guidelines". I requested and received an unsatisfactory response from their customer service department. Simply, I was told, "We do not discuss reasons for account closures to protect the privacy of individuals."

I signed up for this service a couple of weeks ago first as an unpaid customer and then one day ago as a paid customer. Before I paid even though I consider myself just an average Joe I was immediately undulated by many women supposedly interested in knowing me but of course POF blocks the image until you're a paid customer. Just out of curiosity I decided to try it out officially and became a paid member. Strangely enough now all these hidden hidden women that were supposedly interested in me started to block me! Haha I did chat with a couple of interested women over the weekend they turned out to be simply online scammers I gave them my piece of mind for trying to rob me of my hard earned money before blocking them also.

I made an account in POF (plenty of fish) as a transgender woman. Yes my inbox got flooded for the 2 days I was in the site. Few of the guys wanting to hook up with me so bad that they would offer me money just to meet them up. I said no everytime because I did not wanna break any rules of the site. But for some reason I was still blocked and got my account deleted without telling me what I did wrong. I was only there for 2 days until I got banned. Like why am I the one who is banned when I'm the one being offered and yes I declined. Isn't that unfair for us transwomen? I do not understand why. Penalizing the victim much? So yeah when guys offer you money for sex, even if you decline, you will still be banned from the site.

First off, they say they will only send you a code to your phone for subscribing and for each new device you use. I never changed my device, but 3 days after subscribing they want to send a code to make sure I am me. Next, you say within 5 miles and they change it to 100 miles. Next, they have tons of women listed as men.

I set up a dating profile. I post a few pictures. Get a few messages. Then, BOOM! My account has been deleted due to a policy violation! You are not told nor showed anything of how you "Violated". It just keep happening. However, I set up another profile, posted a few pic of a woman of a different color. Responded to messages in the same manner as I did on my original profile that was removed. The profile of the woman of a different color than me is still up! I actually said a few things that I know will get my account removed....And nothing happened. It's still up. The profile of the ** lady was removed. While my profile of the ** lady is still up! It for some reason did not go against any policies. Wow!

First of all I’m in the suburbs of Philadelphia and apparently they have people all over the place. I search that I want local not Washington, New York...etc.. The pictures of the men are either a blank picture or one that they put on when they’re a kid. Lol. Then there’s the picture of their dog, omg! I’m not interested in the first photo of your dog! It’s very discouraging and I’m new to this online dating site. I do get a lot of laughs because many lie about their age. One guy was dressed as a woman, lipstick, earrings...etc.. Then he had a regular picture of him as a "@regular" guy. It’s scary and I’m not even sure if I’d meet up with anyone. POF needs to do a little bit of background on here!

I am constantly offered dates that smoke when I’ve stated absolutely no smokers. Several of the dates being offered are much older than my mother!! Like I said, an absolute waste of money!! Choose another site!!

I paid 38.99 on Christmas day. Everything appeared to be going ok until a few day after Christmas on Sunday December 27, 2021 I couldn't log into my account. Someone took my phone number and switched it out with theirs and took over my account. POF doesn't want to reimburse me for the money even though I only got to use their services barely 24 hours. They need to be investigated and anyone else who had someone hack their account. I am willing to go in on full class action lawsuit. On top of that the credit card I have on file is being charged and the purchases are being declined because I closed out that card and had to get another one. I am expected to pay for some crooks purchases? Give me a break!!!!

This site does not want you to meet someone. They delete messages and views at one end. They add likes you have not liked yourself. You are left wondering why all these people haven’t read your mail. Disgrace.

After trying this app by creating a profile, I realized it was not for me. I was getting daily matches that were not of interest to me. They continue to ignore my request to allow me to remove my profile.

It's full of ridiculously picky unattractive women with incredible demands, offering nothing in return. They don't even fill in their profiles, they say nothing about themselves but only talk about the perfect man they want. Things are 100% opposite on Seek4Her.com and you know why? Because women outnumber men there, so the men aren't so desperate, as a result the women are more feminine, open and friendly. They take better care of themselves, looking perfectly groomed and pretty. They have simpler, unspoiled personalities and adequate undemanding attitude. You don't have to be knight in armour or Rockefeller to be popular there. But on Pof you have to be perfect, you have to put in every possible effort to gain their attention, but ask yourself a question, is it worth it? Don't lose your time and dignity, brothers!

I met my husband on POF. I’ve always been off and on but have been permanently off the site since Nov 2019. I’ve met others on here that were just looking for a hookup but eventually I found my soulmate. Thank you POF.

People listen up. Do not use POF.. Every time you create your profile they will keep deleting it for no reason... Bumble and Tinder is way better. Trust me.... I'm telling y'all now and I do repeat don't waste your time with POF. Your profiles will be deleted every time you create a new one.

Unfortunately, the password reset on POF does not work, I have not had access in over a week and sent multiple emails to POF customer service with no reply. This experience has been very frustrating for me and I cannot even get in to close my account.

Best POF Customer service @1-781-386-3003. Plenty Of Fish (POF) Customer Service has a team of experts who are available 24 hrs to assist you. Call POF phone number. I had the some issue with my account at pof and they resolved my issue. Helped.

I don't believe one word one word out of this CEO's MOUTH!! He is 100% a liar!! A BIG FREAKING LIAR and his the sole employee story is horse poop!! I had my Identity stolen and my account hacked by PLENTY OF FISH!! I felt degraded and like a piece of crap. I went to POF and showed them screenshots of what they were doing. They hacked my account And took it out looking for members to use the new communication system. They bought coins and extended my membership on my credit card!! Yes, they not only stole my identity but they STOLE my money. Feeling like a victim, I took screenshots of what his people were doing. I'm Horribly upset and I showed theses screenshots to POF. They ignored me.

Used this site many times in the past decade. The only features they've added are paywalls to keep you from viewing profiles or finding out if someone liked your profile. The subscription rates are abusive, the matchmaking features don't work properly. It's just a garbage site. Avoid.

Almost every account is fake. Nigerian scammers trying to get money. Beware! Most of them use words like..beloved, honest, the word..trust. They have poor grammar also. Do not trust any profiles on this site.

I found someone I was really interested in, deleted my account and it was hacked after I deleted it. I tried to change my password and enter my account but matter what one of 3 emails you have (personal, student, professional) none of them received an email to edit my password. RUINING MY CHANCE WITH SUCCESS FOR A RELATIONSHIP I ESTABLISHED.

Total scam site....so many scammers...and even when you report the profiles....POF does nothing to remove them....disgusting men that make inappropriate comments....I have asked numerous times to remove profiles...nothing is done.

I have been on this site a few time but my account eventually gets deleted every time for unknown reasons. 1st time they muted me for weeks but allowed men to send me messages? Why? The site allowed me to reply but my reply never appeared. No explanation that time. Eventually I deleted my account due to no explanation....I started a new account....POF deleted...no explanation. I waited 6 months. Started a new account. I was very careful with my responses and wording...no naughty talk or bad language....

I have actually used POF on and off for over 20 years, going back to when the site was completely free. It was never anything more than serviceable, but since it was free, you got what you paid for. Then about 18 months ago I returned to POF and created a new account because my old account went away when they became a pay site. I was on the site for about 9 months, then deactivated my account and left. I decided to try it once again so I reactivated my account, updated my information and my email and sent a payment for 8 months. I logged out, and downloaded the app for my phone. But when I tried to log back in, it rejected my login and instructed me to request a password reset. I requested the reset and waited...and waited...and waited. I requested the password reset 5 times. Nothing happened. I checked all my folders, spam, trash, everything. No email with password reset instructions.

This dating website Plenty of Fish is a scam. I haven't had the account a week and you have to pay to even see your matches? Customer service sucks. The website is hard to navigate and when you do get matches again why have to pay just to look at a loser profile? I will say now to everyone do a legit dating service if you want to treated as valued customer cause to my surprise plenty of fish has a lot of complaints so let this sink in before you decide to go on their website.

Their customer service is horrible, someone hacked my account stop me from accessing it, mind you I am a paid customer. The hacker changed my info to same sex. Now I'm getting unwanted inquiries, and POF is doing nothing about. They don't protect your privacy and when account is breached they won't help you. This after they have pocketed your money.

I am a software engineer with over 30 years of experience and have to rate this site as poor in a number of areas. Some of it is poor design, some poor decision making, and some is bias. This following is a list of what I consider the worst.

POF has, as one of many features, a setting to prevent messages from people not fitting certain criteria. I understand the reasoning and am ok with it. The problem comes when a member chooses to send an indication that I am liked by them. I go to message them back and find I am blocked. Now it is obvious this person is interested but doesn’t realize I cannot respond. POF should I indicate to the other person that she has me blocked by her settings. Then give her an option to allow me to contact her. If she says no I will never know anything about it. If she says yes her setting regarding me is overridden and we can proceed with communication. Very frustrating as I have received several of these indications (likes) and cannot respond. And it does not serve her desire. She will never know and will just think I am not interested.

In 2 days of signing up on this site I received more fraudulent interest than real interest. My account was hacked on day 3 and totally taken over. Tech support has not been able to fix it in the last 2 days. My account has my cc information, so I am assuming that is compromised. Even the manner in which you cancel your subscription requires you to log on (no tech support so they won't do it for you...like in my case where I can't even get on to my account). I prepaid for 4 mo. and they offer no refunds. There is no way to reach out to an actual person. POF security measures all seem to be automated with no persons manning their desk. This site is a complete fraud!

Reported a scammer from a porn site then POF closed my account for it. Guess they are scammers themselves sending messages that someone wants to meet me then asks for money to see who it was even though they never existed.

I lost 100 dollars as I purchased a membership for one year and lasted 2 weeks. The sexual harassment by the men on this site is awful. Also, there was no attempt to match people up. Anyone who was totally on the opposite end of whom I would respond to, was allowed to reach me. Actually the last thing a guy said to me is "I am coming to your town which is _____ and I hope you are **. This site has perverted men as a majority. I went to another site which seems to have nice men and noticed a huge difference immediately. Within a week I was learning that I had communicated with 4 fake accounts. The good men are not real. I was catfished twice but caught on before given any money.. The worst experience ever.

I sign up because my daughter was on go fish. I sign up and got scared. It was several men wanted to meet me but I was too chicken. I taken my pictures down and got off Plenty of Fish is scared to me.

All around good and useful site. Only shortfall is letting you see who is seeing your profile and if they are interested even if they fail to send you a message. Pictures and profiles are OK but it would be more useful if there was more information about each person in their own words and what they are looking for.

Online dating is very difficult. This site was easy to navigate and FREE. Dont believe in paying for a date, and find that the men are all about the same no matter what site you're on. Unfortunately I have given up on this, through no fault of the site, just a personal preference.

Match.com does not match people very well. I have gotten all sorts of different characters show up as a match with no common interests. POF is all about sex. There seems to be no real interest. POF is very superficial in regards to that. I was on it for two days and got off of it.

This is pretty okay I think. Although, the most users who "liked" me are fakes, usually spambots. The profile red flags are: bio only containing dots; profession is "job", snapchat or Kik username included because they are "not on POF"; or only upgraded users can contact those with a phone number included!

Frustrating site because although it's free, when they email you a potential match's profile name, you need to upgrade your account to see that person's profile. So the only thing I can do is not respond to someone who thinks I am a good match, but wait until someone actually sends me a real message. A lot of guys don't do that. Also, I think the site has a lot of imposters on it. Or, there are many guys who think they are Shakespeare. (Or can't write or spell at all!!)

POF doesn't always give you an accurate description of the person with who you are communicating with. If you get the membership then have a variety of choices to see whom your compatible with depending on geographical area your searching.

Compared to a few other "paid" dating sites POF (being free) is actually not too bad. I haven't met "the one" as of yet however I have met quite a few intriguing men. Being descriptive in what you're looking for can help other possible future dates know exactly what you are looking for in a partner.

There are lots of scam artists and people looking for unusual types of sexual satisfaction on there. So you have to be very careful. The majority of people that contact you once your email straight out of the gate and your phone number. There are people on there that will then begin to text you at all hours and you have to block them. There is a large number of people on there that are purposely not in the area that you select. Many of them have accents that do not fit their profile.

POF is a good dating site. It is free to join and there are many members. I have talked to a lot of guys on the site. You are given a lot of info about members in their profiles and can post photos as well. They do a good job with safety and security too.

I recently purchased POF and three days later my account was stolen and all the emails and contacts for support either don't exist or no response. I paid for a year for nothing and their site specifically says no refunds, purchases are final. It feels like the only time pof is there for you is to collect your money then you're on your own. Don't waste your money!!

This site caters to an awful lot of married people and those currently living with someone looking for someone else to give them a good time. A large number of those on there as well are just looking for a good time at someone else's expense. They have no desire for a relationship of any kind as they have dead end jobs and can't afford to go out and have a good time on their own money. Honestly is as well very lacking as it's very irritating to meet up with someone to find out they are married but so far have made you think they are single. If you file a complaint nothing ever happens to those with a fake ID or with false information. They also will allow people to post pictures that are 10 years or so old or when they were 100 lbs slimmer and their profile says they are slim and trim. Just way too much fake stuff and now they want your phone number to use as an form of identification so they can simply turn around and sell it.

You get what you pay for but do not pay for POF. I have two masters degrees and the mode education of my matches was high school. I state no tattoos and every match is covered with them. If you like unwashed, bearded, men driving Harleys this is site for you.

The main reason most people use this site is to hook up, not form a relationship. I met a lot of guys on POF who hurt me emotionally. The guys that hurt me judged me from my pictures and would then get angry when I did not put out for them. My pictures weren't "sexual" either. They were jerks but maybe I was bad at picking them...I was a lot younger at the time.

Not happy about being treated like a slab of meat in a butcher's shop the way you are looked over by the opposite sex. Not happy about 40 and 50 aged men contacting me. Out of required area also a problem.

POF is very much cheap compared with many other Dating websites, while including many customer options & without charging additional Monthly amounts. Many other dating websites are always asking for higher amounts, while personally never caring for their clients whatsoever.

The old saying, "You get what you pay for" is totally true with Plenty of Fish. PLENTY OF FISH is free. $0.00. Site's membership is small. Site boost of multiple members but, when you actually review your matches. It's the same person(s). Just a different photo. Recommend to persons want to hit-it & quit. Definitely for older/mature members. Not a sincere Relationship Venture to meet your "forever" mate.

This is one of the best free sites that I have seen. I did meet someone on there, and we dated for about 6 months, but it didn't work out. I have been on other dates from people I met on the site, but still haven't found the right person. I feel it is a very safe site, and easy to use. I would recommend it.

This site is not too bad. Many real people on this site. But there are always scammers on every site, including this one. The big difference is that POF is free to use. I have met a few very nice people on here. I have also run into a few not so nice people. Just be careful and stay safe.

I really like this site. I met my friend on here. We are going to 2 years now. The owner checks and make sure things are going right with the site because of that I would recommend POF to any person love for love.

I've used POF for a number of years and it's great that you get a lot of features for free but I've had my profile hacked and I get a lot of phony winks from phony ads. They claim to be my age, (late 50's) but look 20ish, they also have their cell phone text number superimposed over their photo and are never on the site for more than a week before they pull their ad.

The application was easy to set up and the experience I had was not favorable. I was harassed by a few men who were neurotic and self absorbed.. I did meet one nice gentleman out the usage of your site.

The powers that be don't seem to look at the answers given when filling out your profile. Criteria are ignored for the most part so it's not a "matching" service at all. Waste of time. I have used only the free version of PoF, but I truly don't believe it would be beneficial to pay a fee for the types of matches they offer.

Nice that it's free, but lacks verification processes, security, and safety. There are tons of robots/scammers and girls trying to sell themselves or nude photos of themselves. I've even had "mutual" matches with bots that I never would have shown "interest" in and even mutually matched with myself at one point apparently (I got the notification on my cell); both of those cases sketched me out and prompted me to delete the app.

I enjoy how simple and straightforward POF is. They give you thorough options to find the person you’re looking for. You can also communicate with members without needing a membership so you don’t have to pay a cent to talk to the person!

It’s a site for harboring scammers. Connecting with someone they’ll want to live chat and send an invite. You click on it. Give some info including a card number so they say to verify it's you. Your card is rejected but a day or two later there is a charge for 39.99 on your card. By the way the video chat never happens.

Ive been on POF for a few years, if you have nothing to do and want a pastime...pof is for you. If you are seriously looking for a date, girlfriend, wife...good luck.. Lol. Ive been on pof numerous 100's of hours searching for the one that may even come close to a match and still fishing. Women, in my experience are out for a free wine and dine and on first meet most (80%) want the dinner and drinks.. No walk in the park, no simple coffee and get to know each other.. My age group 48 to 55 has seriously flawed women imo... That's why they are on pof. 1 in 100 is actually attractive and good looking. Most are seriously damaged and have nothing positive to say, it seems they are still fighting with their x. Lol....on pof..!

I am a paying customer and haven’t been able to access my account for well over a month. Have sent several e-mails and only revived one response that basically said "Too busy right now to deal with your problems." Have e-mailed 20 plus times with no response. Haven’t met a single person in my area and paid for a year's subscription and haven’t been able to use it.

Ok I joined Plenty of Fish then getting real no responds. I bought 1 token by a prepaid gift card. Well then I notice money was going missing and then they were nickel and diming me 72 cents 1-23 times a day until there was no money left on it. I still have not been able to take care of it. Then I bought a 3 month membership. After a few days I canceled it and they gave me my money back but after that they started nickel and diming me there as well. I found out after over @200 later the bank phones me and lets me know that 72 cents 5 times a day, 10 bucks here and there so I had to close my acc up and open new acc at cibc.

So just imagine you've paid 38 dollars for a 3 month service, which is pretty affordable right? Well there's a reason POF is compared to Tinder because I'm pretty sure the developers had a sit down and said, "How can we scam as many people as possible." I signed up for the 3 month and after a day found myself getting a bunch of likes and people wanting to meet me. Half of them were people way beyond my distance requirements and the other half were robots or call centers who set up scam profiles. So, I am not pleased. Note of advice: Never give out credit card information, ever. I wasn't willing to and avoided a scam. What you paid initially for the service should be enough.

This is a site where you can either find a John to sell your ** to or find a one night stand with someone's spouse or find a serial killer. I had a guy message me, pressure me to let him pick me up in his car and take me out. Within 5 hours of messaging, he changed the city he lived in 3 times and he then cursed me out when I told him no, I had a guy message me and ask to eat my (you know what) and when I didn't reply he called me a fake ** who deserved to be ** to death. I messaged with a guy for a week, we exchanged numbers and then all of a sudden I get 10 calls at 3 am from him, I answered. It was his pregnant wife telling me I could have him because she's divorcing him. I deleted my profile after 2 weeks.

I have been on POF.com for years. Met some OK guys over the years, just not "the guy". Recently I did meet someone and we started communicating outside pof. When I wanted to go back and read about him again, suddenly, my password does not work and trying to find out why with no response. There is no phone number to contact them. No change in my profile. Maybe I was hacked, but the fact that there is no way to communicate is ridiculous. Trying to reset my password did not work. They need to have a better way to track these kind of issues!

A dating site with non-existent customer support. A dating site with a guy called Marcus ** (find him on Facebook), google his face POF Marcus, match the face and see it is him, but he denies he works for POF. A total unhelpful waste of space. It's a site where women block you for saying "Hi" or "Hello". When you receive a certain amount of "blocks" your account gets deleted. An email of complaint just gets you a standard reply like, "sorry your account was deleted in error" so you do another one and guess what, that gets deleted too. I could write a story about POF but none of it would be anything nice. A truly horrible place.

You will spend an hour filling up lengthy stupid questionnaires and then few hours later your profile is deleted for no obvious reason. NO email, no explanation. They are just collecting information for marketing companies. Stay away from them!

I wet on POF. Meet a man that has wife, a whole family. When I reported him to pof they did nothing. They allow these people up there using others. It not fair. There are people looking for love and relationship not just games. Pof is the worst dating app I ever been on. I had this man's wife coming at me when I found out he was married. I left that alone but she is calls me on crazy **. Someone needs to put a end to it.

POF.com is a dating website. I have been in and out of this site for over 6 years. I have noticed many more fake profiles these last two years and scammers. To make a long story short, each time I am talking with someone I make sure this person is really who they pretend to be. I have become an expert in detecting fraudulent profiles, as soon as they start talking. I reported some of them (Married men, liars and scammers). I am a teacher and I have respect for all people (my reputation is well established). I am very upfront though when I think they are telling me lies.

I signed up to check POF out - set up the account and went to log-in. It said my user name and password were wrong? - Weird, since I'd just signed up. I tried to reset a couple of times. Then I tried my computer a couple of times. No Luck. Sent an email to support - got a generic email saying to reset my password and explaining they had no individual support options. Tried again - no luck. Meanwhile, over 100 people had sent messages or adding them to favs in two days. I couldn't respond. I couldn't even take down my profile because I couldn't log in!

I am so frustrated with this website. So many clearly fraudulent profiles. Someone may say that they have a masters degree and then their profile has poor writing skills. Others have a nice profile but when you message them, they are from another country and speak broken English. I have tried to contact customer support but I have received no answers.

I was satisfied with the product. I paid for a year subscription and stopped using it after 3 months. I thought I closed the account and stopped using it. I'm told I didn't actually close it, just paused it. Despite the fact that they can see that I haven't used it in 8 months, they charged me for another full year. I noticed the charge 5 days after they charged me. I asked for a refund. They acknowledged that I hadn't used it, but still charged me for the entire next year. They are more interested in charging for clearly unused service than they are keeping a customer happy. Pay close attention.

Don’t waste your time specially if you are a women. They have no customer Service. No one to help you. You send email and no one ever gets back to you. I got a profile and everything was ok. One day I was not able to get in to my profile no matter how much I tried to reset my password. It tells you to put your email and they will send you a reset link. I never received anything, I signed out again with the same email different users name and made another profile and the same thing happened. I tried to do the same and yes it works but I have to start all over again, I don’t care to be on this site anymore.

Joined POF to help me write an article about online dating sites and apps available. The fake accounts are prevalent but that's not the real issue. If you displease a premium account, yours will be blocked. If you don't answer a premium account, you will be reported and blocked. There is no customer service. There is no explanation. "Your account is blocked because we said so". I made 12 accounts to test. Four of them still remain active because I am "nice" to any premium account that messages. The other 8 are blocked the moment I disagree with a premium accounts' view on women and how they are to be treated. The verbal abuse premium accounts allow themselves is staggering. Nothing happens if they are reported.

A few months ago, someone logged into my profile, changed a few profile information and sent out about 70 interests, making a lot of email for me. They were all very undesirable matches. I responded, as I did not want to get kicked out for this. A few men told me off, or wanted sex. Men were sent interests telling them to phone, or clink on a link. It was a USA number. I reported it to POF. They didn't care at all. After about two weeks, they finally sent an email advising me to change my password, which I did myself that day. I wrote back asking if they were investigating. Without a response. They don't care about our safety.

Pof is very unprofessional. They delete accounts without investigating situations and allow people who are married not single or try selling themselves to keep their profile open. I've realized they are a fraud and scam site. They deserve 0 stars and don't even have a contact number because they know they are a fake website. I wouldn't waste my time. All men ask for is naked pictures and then you're ** outta luck. Beware of this site for it is a made up piece of **.

There was a profile and picture of someone that I really like and am unable to message on POF as they tell me they’re interested in a different type of person even though they reached out to me initially and want to connect. So I am puzzled that POF is doing this when they’re supposed to be about bringing people together who are mutually interested.

I was searching for those over 60. “Men” supposedly close to 60 were contacting me with the intent of getting my phone number to “chat”. Right away I was called honey, sweetheart, darling...etc. They were mostly “widowed” with younger kids at home. After responding to their replies they wanted phone numbers, several told me they were military! I’m sorry I’m not desperate or stupid. If you are just now a Sergeant in the “US Military” and 60 something years old then you are not very bright. This website isn’t what it is supposed to be. POF really needs to screen the photos and make sure they are providing a SAFE service. Be VERY CAREFUL PEOPLE!! Free isn’t always good.

Plenty of Fish is a terrible website, nothing but fake profiles, hookers and scammers.... Plzz don't use that site when looking for a companion, you will be very disappointed. I want my refund from these **.

When I see someone under "it's mutual" I try to message them and I get a message "...is looking for a different type of person..." What is the point of "it's mutual" if you block people from connecting? This has happened 5 times with 5 mutual matches. I am totally confused by the system. It seems really broken.

When I was able to get on, the options are lame. Lots of bullonlies. Somewhere along the line, POF decided to make some changes which prevent you from signing in. They say your password/ name is wrong. More Bullonely. They just want you to be so hard up you'll will pay them. FTS. Don't waste your time

Although POF is free, I paid the extra money so I could see who read my emails, as well as other benefits. I paid for 6-months. I immediately began corresponding with several women. Then I wasn't able to sign on anymore. I sent several emails telling POF of my issue but I never got a response back. I then googled "POF Complaints" and realized my account got hacked. I again wrote POF telling them my account got hacked and I wanted a refund. POF sends me a complete refund.

Pof appears to have different rules for women vs men about the content in profiles. More specifically, photos. When a man tries to post say a picture of his backyard, it is immediately deleted with the message saying that it does not conform to the rules. However, women have pictures of flowers, pets, scenery etc. in their profile which have been there forever. Why is that, other than displaying gender discrimination?

I subscribed to POF for six months. After 3 1/2 months, POF cancelled my subscription and deleted my account. When I asked why, they would not provide details, saying it was their policy. I can assure you that I did not violate any rules, they had zero reason to delete me. But since they did, I asked for a refund or a credit of the unused portion. They refused. That's unethical, they can delete anyone at any time for any reason, and keep the money.

POF is now full of "women" that want you to jump to a hookup site. These sites are scams to get your CC and charge you money to get more false profiles. In the last two weeks I chatted with two out of 23 persons... 21 profiles that contacted me were scams.

I paid to upgrade. I was told I could verify my account in some other way than using a cell phone. That turned out to be false. Every day when I signed in I was asked to verify my account and I had to have a cell phone to text a code to. I could not verify... I complained each time. They fixed this problem over and over, wasting hours per day of my time...

Had a scammer drag me on for 5 months, using army man's pictures last name of **. Of course he then tried to get money off me & did commit fraud using my name address and info. I have reported to the fbi & put all my credit on a freeze. Terrible out of country trash, be VERY CAREFUL. TRUST NO ONE WITHOUT PROOF OF IDENTITY. Most are out of Nigeria.

The reason why most women are getting booted off is because they are being blocked too much by men! And get this.. They will not let you recreate another account, because the sneaky buggers flag your IP address, so every time you try to create an account - no matter what information you use, it will not let you! I know, because I tried eight times on five different devices & none of them worked. Until I turned off wi-fi & did it through 4G on my phone!

Not even worth checking the notifications. Scammers more than anything else, I regret ever trying this app. POF team makes no effort at all to verify the members and are only interested in getting you to pay.

This site has more fake members than real... Stay far away. Profiles are constantly hacked and nothing but hookers and porn sites trying to scam you! This site does absolutely nothing to verify the legitimacy of each and every user.

I would not recommend that anyone become a member of the POF dating website. They have a lot of scammers, bots, and even the people that work for POF will send you messages just to try to keep you on the site... You cannot trust anyone you meet whether you're looking for a guy or a girl. I spoke to several guys and of course none of them ever wanted to meet and that's because they were either lying about who they were or they weren't real. I also suggest that when you leave the site you make sure to delete your profile, your pictures and any other information that you post about yourself. In my opinion I'd say stay away.

Over the last few months POF has suddenly become full of a huge amount of Fake profiles. I reported all the ones I spotted and added proof by using Google image search and TinEye to show the person's photos were copied. I made POF aware that the site was being targeted by a huge amount of fakes who would only send a link to a sex site Momhook.com And got a standard reply back from POF saying, "We are sorry you have encountered non genuine members etc, Please use REPORT USER if you come across non genuine members." So I did just that. Reported approx 25-40 each day Thinking that I'd be helping others by getting the Scammers removed. Now Suddenly I can't log in. Starting to think POF has kicked me off for reporting all of the fakes, Which in short would say, "Don't report the fakes. We don't care!" Which is a shame as the site already has so many complaints made on other review sites.

Clearly someone is hijacking your experience. Clever little ruses to get you to spend money. Lots of fish but unfortunately they are all red herrings, in short, I doubt any of them are real. If they are real and someone messages you, then their account is immediately dissolved so you will never know. Someone at POF is having a good laugh at your expense. Remember, they make money as long as you DON'T find a match. There seems to be a complex algorithm keeping you on the proverbial goose chase. Should've called lol not pof. This algorithm deletes all accounts of girls you could possibly connect with.

I had joined POF a couple of years back because I had known a couple who managed to find each other on that site. I thought I would give it a try only to learn there were unfortunately a lot of fake profiles, people looking to scam for money or other personal information. What men I had talked to sadly admitted to having either drugs, alcohol, low self-esteem issues or troubles getting over past relationships and carrying a lot of baggage. A couple of men who contacted me on POF admitted being ex-cons... One who had a federal drug offense while another had a record of extortion!!!

This site is free, which means it's loaded with hackers hunting for personal information. I personally have to weed out multiple fake people every day, which translates to a complete waste of time. People go on this site to find a companion, but what they get is a bunch of fake accounts claiming to want to know you but in the end they're trying to get your email and other types of information. Pics of girls in their 20's saying they're 58 years old???? Really??? And it isn't happening at random, or once in awhile -- it happens every day!! Worst dating site out there!

I joined Plenty of Fish for the first time on 10/28/19. That same day I "met" someone and we liked each other right away. Emails, Phone calls, picture, profile on LinkedIn, Facebook etc... Long story short, he is in Nigeria and hacked someone else's account. He had a tiny accent when speaking in English, but since he was "from Germany" I thought it was cute. When we became "friends" on Facebook, he had 0 friends and prior to 2018 everything was "happening" in Africa. I called him, and asked a FaceTime or Selfie right away. He said he couldn't. I was finally able to have him tell me that he had 5 different profiles on POF, and was in Africa. I wrote POF giving his address, phone # etc...Never heard back from Them.

Was approached by a man and we exchanged phone numbers, mine legit, his a voice text mail subscriber... After 3 days confessed his love to me, 2 days later... wanted my bank account in info and cell account info. I kept it going wanting to get more info on him, which I didn't get.... He goes by Charles **, lives in San Jose CA.

My advice? Stay away from the site to protect your online identity. The website security is HORRIBLE. There were so many foreigner catfish profiles, most asking for money. Then someone actually took over my dating profile - changing my pictures and profile information. They had 21 conversations with men from my hacked profile. The new picture uploaded was of a prostitute. She gave out her number 21 times to a Colombian escort service.

After several failed attempts to change my password and replies from POF I realized there is no customer support. All that exists is an automated reply (I received 5 all with the exact same text) when I realized that no one reads them or cares. I believe my profile may have been hacked, but I won't waste any more time with this site. JT - Toronto

I wanted everyone to know that this site really works!!!, If you really want to find someone. Just my advice to anyone. Is don't give up. I met someone and we are really happy. His profile name was **. Mine was **. We are in love and is never too late. I recommend this site.

I am a transgender woman, on hormones and identify as female everyday of my life. SO I joined POF as a woman seeking men. Things were fine, until 3rd day I can no longer log into my account or change my password. I am completely disconnected or blocked from my account. No warning or explanation. Tinder, Badoo, and now pof blocks transwomen like me on regular basis. How sad is this world we live in?

I like POF usu but yesterday I got lot messages and then seen someone hacked it. Wrote to others and put her pic. I uninstalled my app. I then went on internet browser to delete. But I'm kicked out. I can't even reset my password. I contacted pof from same email I signed up pof with. I'm still waiting for reply. Please help. She invaded my privacy. Now everyone thinks she is me. IDK what to do. Please contact me pof. I need help to delete my account ty.

If I hadn't written about 200 replies to messages only to realize that they were never sent I might not be pissed off. POF is a total joke. They choose who connects with who and actually deletes users' messages with no notification in the event that they deem it inappropriate. People should should boycott this site.

Don't waste your money to buy frustration. These guys barely have it together and their site is a joke, a bad joke. They must be getting hacked (that means you, the user), I know my account was, and others have written about similar problems. They are in Canada and don't have any customer service and could not care less. Yes, you can be listed there for free, but you get what you pay for. In this case misery is free.

Why so many fakes and scammers on this side is beyond unbelievable. Why when I'm searching ONLY females All meets me I scroll through are looking for Females. Why are all my so called Matches looking for the same or look like Monsters. Yeah everyone looks for romance but Jesus Christ mix it up some and throw on some nice GENUINE ladies. You have millions of users and yet when I search and view and I do view a fair few, why don't I ever EVER seen see someone I've viewed view me back. I'm no Denzel Washington or Tom Cruise but ain't scary looking. I'm pretty much just your average decent looking bloke. I'm 59 yrs old and don't look a day over 45 so tell what's going on here?. It's just not the place for romance or friendship if you asked me just ain't at all.

Has me fill everything out and Lets me on for about 30 minutes. I go off to do something, when I try to log back on says invalid username. Keeps kicking me off. I met my late husband 6 years ago. Lost him a year and a half ago and was hoping to have the good luck I had before. Been seeing this happening to a lot of people. Wish they would fix this or tell us why we get kicked out after letting us send messages and stuff.

So I signed up as a paid member and was out of the country when it was renewal time, the charges were setup to come out of my account. Well my account was suspended by my bank for possible fraudulent activity because I had been using my debit card in the Bahamas. The charges from POF was rejected so they closed my account with no explanation, no warning no nothing. I have tried calling them. Get the same generic answer that the account is closed and I can never be a member again. Filed a BBB complaint. They gave them the same answer. Account is closed and will not be reopened. I am very disappointed in the way they have handled this. Unable to speak with anyone. They don't value their customers.

I understand PoF was recently bought recently and the new owners are clearly trying to extract more money from its customer base to the detriment of the service provided. In recent months I now get messages that I have matched with untraceable users. Messages from users directing me to 'undesirable' sites. Messages from users who are clearly fake (claiming to be 70 years old with a 25 year old's photo). All of which seem designed to get me to pay for an upgraded membership. Complaints to PoF merely result in them unsubscribing me from all emails. In short, find another dating site, this one has gone to the dogs.

I paid for a year long subscription to Plenty of FIsh, a popular dating app. A few months later I discovered that someone had hacked into it, and replaced all of my pictures with his. This hacker was lazy, because he only slightly altered my bio profile. When I complained to POF about this breach of security, they failed to return ANY of my correspondence. Once they get your money, they don't care. If you want a dating site, don't go to POF.

Signed up for this site in late November 2017. Sent out hundreds (plural) of messages. Actually went out on 4 dates with 4 different women spread out in 2018. More fakes and scammers on this site than real legitimate women. Most of the profiles read the same. "I have my career, own house, own car and looking for a nice guy" blah blah. The scammers are easy to spot. Just look at the high quality of pics on their profiles that don't seem to belong on this site. Also take note of bizarre letter and number combinations in the headlines, multiple question marks and mentions of tacos (bizarre I know but those are usually fakes). Fast forward to 2019. I've sent out roughly 80 messages with 7 views and one message back from a scammer.

Decided to try POF, I’ve also tried Tinder, Match and eharmony. By far POF is the worst, here are my personal reasons why I paid for only 1 month and then cancelled.

POF is not the place to meet someone as 95% of the profiles and messages that I have received are not authentic. Photos have been stolen off the web (just do a reverse image search) and the messages are scripted, silly, and absurd, several claiming I am the most beautiful woman they have ever encountered, etc. The majority say they are widowed, I guess to engage sympathy. The filters do not work and many of the fake profiles/messages are from different parts of the country. Never pay for a subscription or you will be very sorry!

This site is FULL of scammers and frauds. I can't even count any more how many scam messages I have received. The only reason I haven't deleted my account yet is because I make it a point to report each and every scam/fraud message I receive. No one should even consider upgrading to a paid membership, because the POF staff appear completely unable to control the scammers and fraud artists. If Zero stars was an option; that's the rating I would give.

I have signed up with POF 3 times. Get to look thru a few profiles and then it asked me to sign in to tell me I entered the wrong password. I know it's right. I wrote it down and trying to get a hold of anyone at POF is a joke. I tried a site and it said straight away answer the phone so I did then he spent the next 3 hrs trying to get £600.00 out of my account. He had control over my computer, my cell phone so if this happens to you and they ask for money hang up and delete anything that they have asked you to install and disconnect your wifi first and switch your phone off and block and delete their phone no.

I became a paid member after the bait and rob technique made famous by match.com where fake profiles are used to get you to pay on order to see who liked you. Next, my account was hacked, and damaging messages were sent under my banner. I'm now blocked by so many people, the product is now useless to me. I asked for a refund from pof.com refunds, and the sent me to iTunes, knowing iTunes would deny it. This is an inanimate object with no software being downloaded, so there is no reason to refuse. Do not pay for pof.com - it's a scam.

I have met several people on POF--I actually met and dated two of them---unfortunately, the first one, after dating a year, passed away following a somewhat minor operation. The last one I met on POF, I married in October of last year.

This dating app is for booty calls. You can't limit who emails you, even with a paid subscriptions. All my best contacts were with people out of state and the local guys wanted to send me ** pics. I literally had to find an app to give a witty response just to use the dating app. I've used other sites and NOT had this experience. POF is like Tinder for old people. Good if you want a hook up, bad if you want something real. It also sucked to make a great connection only to find they live in another state. Realistically I'm locked to my job and I don't expect someone to move to my state.

The men that I have met online want one thing only. It's either money or sex. It's sad but I'm not interested any longer in this site. Thank you.

POF seems to be the place that criminals go to scam women. My friend dated someone from this site in FL, turns out he had just exited state prison a week prior and was looking for his next scam/meal ticket. I myself used POF and found the answers I received to be vulgar. This match site is not a safe place to find a mate, a date, or anyone great.

The site could ask a few more question los to try to gather compatibility. It's open forum and you do most of the filtering. It comes off as a big circus and no seriousness to it. I did meet someone but and it's working but some of likes he bypassed so I didn’t know.

I was hacked on this sight by someone who change parts of my profile and deleted my photos. They signed me out and I couldn’t get back in. I was getting tons of responses from other members. I contacted PoF and was able to reset my password. I had to fix what she changed in my profile and reinsert my photos. I searched conversations she had with other members, found out her name and number and reported that to PoF. I think at this point she is not active in my account anymore.

Very good experience. Did not seem to have any false entries. Sometimes the pictures did not meet the actual individual. Will and have recommended the site to others. Love that no cost as it really makes it more attractive.

Always be safe on any site. Anyone from another country you have not met are seen asking for money is a red flag. Don't send anything personal through the mail or reveal over the phone. Be aware of old pics are only one. There's probably some kind of scam going on. Make sure they are who you're messaging.

There are a ton of choices. It’s pretty labor intensive, but mostly fun and I never had a problem with anything. One of the other sites I tried sent choices from 300 miles away....POF sent all local, and only in my preferences. Met my husband there, we’ve been married 5 years now.

When you don't go to bar or out anywhere to meet new people, online is the best way. But also be careful and have a plan before you meet someone. Have your best friend on standby in case things aren't going well. They can send you a text within 10 or 15 minutes and that can be your excuse for leaving. Always meet in a public place too. I have met a lot of very nice people and a few weird ones.

Dating sites are dangerous, you NEVER really know who or what is on the other end. They can say whatever they want, it does not make it true. I met my 2nd wife on this site. Looked real good to the point we got married. Lasted 5 years until she got her green card, then it was over. Obvious that was her plan from the beginning. Nothing is as it seems. Would recommend to stay away from dating sites.

I find that the site does not offer much and the women that are on it are stuck ???? up. Its options are very few things good about the site. I do find it does have a nice outlook and layout and privacy is good.

Would like to have met better adjusted men. Most of the men are under educated. Seem to be in search of a booty call, as opposed to a meaningful relationship. I guess that's because this site is free. Too bad! They could still be of better character....I guess?

There is not enough background checks on some of their customers. Some of the women on the site are scammers, from other parts of the world asking for money or phone cards. It seems a lot of these dating sites are victim to scammers. More obvious rules should be put into place, to protect the uneducated consumer. Fortunately I'm not ignorant enough to be scammed.

Gorgeous pic of a man and his kids. All stolen off internet. Erik ** from SAN Jose and Germany. Oil digger off Norway. Widower. Two days of talking. Sounded too good to b true. I called him on it and he disappeared.

I met quite a few people on POF but a lot of them did not meet my qualifications ie: no smokers and only recreational drinkers. But I did meet some great guys on the site. I liked that I could choose if they did not have a picture that they could not message me. Overall it was a pretty good experience and I am dating a guy I met on there. Took me years to find him and lots of time and patience.

It is good because it is a free site, but it tends to match with people that are not within mileage specified in parameters. Ages of matches are also not always within specified parameters. Other than that, I have gone on a few dates, some of which did last several months, but I am still looking.

POF is blocking me from entering my account when I terminated my upgrade that they initiated without my permission. I get a message I have no internet consistently after my card didn’t pay for upgrade in the second month. I halted any future charges for services directly with my bank and disconnected Apple Wallet. Just in case you’re on the site, this is why so many profiles are fake, they prevent you from having access to your profile after they’re blocked from charging fees.

I actually met my husband on POF! I chose this site because of the higher volume of users. The only thing I would change is the ability to message whoever you want, and thus you receive messages from anyone. It can be a bit cumbersome. But in any case I am happily married and wouldn't be without POF!

This site should be called Plenty of Fakes and Scammers. In my experience most of the men used outdated photos and out and out lied about their body type. Almost every time I received a match I thought for sure they sent it to the wrong person. Be careful of the age liars too.

I thought it worked well. I met quite a few people and some are still friends. I also met my fiancée. So overall it worked great for me. I recommend it to others. I think that it provides a very user friendly experience as well.

Scam people, guys are not who they say they are, just looking for booty call, quite a few of the profiles have guys with sunglasses or out of focus pics, or pets, very evasive, monosyllabic conversations.

I have met great guys that were not in my area but became good friends for years. I wish we were able to meet but the expense of traveling, stopped us from meeting in person. I was able to talk on phone and video chat, we got to know each other well. I am still friends with these great guys. I know if circumstances changed I would probably been with one for years. I liked the fact I got to know them well and if we could have met it would have meant much more. I think it gave me a chance to meet men who just didn't want something from me but were truly interested in knowing me. I believe always friends first.

Just another dating site out there to make money. Like all these dating sites, they lure you in with "FREE" membership or trial offer and once hooked you find you need to upgrade your membership in order to see full profiles, pictures and to make contact which can only be done through their website.

Poor app makes for lots of watsed time and effort

Cancelled membership renewal over 2 weeks before renewal date. I downgraded my membership back to a free membership. POF still charged for a renewal. When contacted POF stated that they do not give refunds per their terms agreement. There is no way to fight it even when it is their fault. PayPal was kind enough to refund half out of their pocket. Beware of POF billing ethics!

I like the app but it needs to have a section for older individuals. Unfortunately, this website also hosts a number of fake profilers for people trying to steal your information. More investigation should be done by those hosting the website.

I met my wife on POF. The website didn't seem to have as many of "old" profiles. You know, the type who haven't been on the site for at least a year. It has excellent filtering options. "Last On" is really useful.

I have decided dating sites are not for me. You are never really sure who the person is or what their motives are and the site cannot be sure either. So better safe than sorry and I will have to meet Mr. Right another way.

Well, I did my practicum in college on dating sites. I've been on a lot of them and as years passed, I tired in a social aspect. The charging.... if I really want to meet someone or start a dialog, why not be able to do a "as per" a specific user? This is where it's lacking.... they want the whole enchilada! No good! I usually am a non paying status.

POF was great. Matched me with a few different people. I talked to a few. Had a date with my now wife and the rest is history. We met, dated for 3 years, got married, been together for 4 now. Was very easy to set up and easy to use. Would recommend it.

I have created a profile and was logging in with no problem. On the third day tried to log in and it said my credentials are not valid. I contacted POF and their response was I removed my account. I did not remove my profile. So, I created another new profile and the exact same thing happened. Of course they say can’t help me. They have my photos, email address and phone number for verification. It seems odd they cannot verify my account but they have my information. Since this has happened twice, may need to change my phone number and email address. They need to be sued and shut down with all the problems they are having and for fraudulent information how they are the #1 dating website.

It's a FREE site, so realize that you can't really rely on the best of the best. This site attracts the same type of people and on top of this, it's like a cesspool with the rotation of men... even when you block them, for foolishness.

A great site because it gives you a lot of selections and it's free. However it seems to look for people that are further away than you have asked for. You have to screen people really well just like any other dating app.

POF does not seem to care about catching fraudulent users. They don't detect actual GEO location as a means of validating actual user locations - I have had so many accounts where the person was actually in Ghana Africa, but claimed to be in my city. All fake accounts. Also, there is an ongoing scam about POF video chat where the user ask you to join POF video chat; POF does not have Video chat- POF could end this scam by simply posting this directly on their site, but POF doesn't. I receive "like's" from accounts at least 5 to 10 times a day from users running this scam- They want to get your credit card info.

I have been on and off POF for two years now. Over the course of this time, I have noticed there are many fake profiles and scammers. It does not matter what state I lived in. Over a few weeks I would begin to see the same faces I saw in another state but different profile. I would be hot over and over by people who said they were widowers in their 60s with little children who needed a wife. Always the same story with different faces. Then they would ask for money cards. Overall I met one man in real life. I give this site a -0-.
