POF.com Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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 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 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 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-.

I tried to set up a POF profile and each time, after filling out everything and writing about myself, I would click "create profile" and be redirected back to the main site. I decided to use another email and the same thing happened. I contacted POF by email and of course got nothing. Eventually later on in the day decided to give it one last try with the second email and change the username somewhat. I got past the create profile and added my phone number. I received the verification text and went on to add my pictures. After adding one I was then signed out and couldn't sign back in. Forgot email doesn't work. I downloaded the app and I'm getting notifications that I got a match yet I haven't been able to gain any access or even show that I have a profile? It's beyond ridiculous at this point and have sent another email to POF expressing my annoyance. I'm just hoping there's not a profile of me out there now.

I've been a Tinder member on and off for the past 4 years in good standing and never an issue. Always ethical! One day, all of a sudden my account was banned from Match, POF, OkCupid and Tinder and all affiliated companies, Match OkCupid, and POF. When I contacted the service team for each company (which is nearly impossible to find the contact info) they responded with a link to their terms of service and policy which they said I violated. They said they can't tell me why and I'm permanently banned. When I asked for specifically which policy I had violated they couldn’t even give me any details. Then they no longer even responded to my reply to appeal. This is wrong on so many levels. I was a faithful paying customer and completely disgusted that they can do this to people who did nothing wrong.

I got suckered into signing up. I not a bad looking guy with a decent job and a car. My profile is like anyone else's explaining likes and hobbies. I seriously messaged over 100 girls and never got 1 response! I'm thinking either they're fake profiles, these girls are really really picky and want to date 6ft tall models with 1million in their bank account or I'm just really bad at dating which isn't true because I actually attract a lot of decent looking girls in real life at work and school. I've been hit up by escorts or strippers wanting me to check out their webcam. POF is a really bad site for dating and is WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS SITE. I was an idiot. Don't be an idiot! I took my pics off after 1 week. ** POF.

I'm sure this site was created for good intentions but it's full of scammers, fakes and prostitutes now which is kind of sad. I would stay away from the site at least till they clean up their act. This site is full of fake profiles and predatory scammers.

I’ve had my site up for a number of years now. I have hidden my profile either if I’m in a relationship or I’m not in to dating at the time. Right my account has been hacked. I cannot get into it. I cannot change the password. I cannot delete it my account. My phone just keeps popping up with mutual matches and messages left for me. I have no idea what these hackers have done and what information they have of mine. My real first name is on my profile. My email is somewhere in there because I used it to set up my account. I’m getting hundreds of notifications. Did. They rewrite my profile? If so I cannot imagine what they have written. Are my pictures still up? I have no idea. What if they replaced them with something that isn’t appropriate.

This whole site is full of jail birds and posers phishing your info and money. Do not put any info on this site. I also believe the site itself is putting fake profiles on their own site. STAY AWAY!!!!

My POF account was hacked under two separate email addresses with extremely strong passwords. I was also using secured networks. Because I was an "upgraded user", I had financial information on the account. I had no access to the account as the individual who hacked it continually changed the email addresses, the user names and the passwords. They sent out messages and emails to dozens upon dozens of people and gained access to my cell-phone number. Customer service was of no help in resolving the issue; I continued to get an automated reply to all of my emails pleading with them to close the account. I was finally able to access the account and delete it on my own but it took over twenty four hours to do so. To add insult to injury, the site refused to refund the money that I had spent to "upgrade". This site is poorly run and I will never use it again.

POF stands for Plenty of Fish. There are plenty of fish in the sea on this site but it boggles my mind how many have no degrees or barely finished high school. Just to set the record straight on a number of reviews I've read about POF regarding scams, POF is not alone. Every one of the other sites I've been a member of (Match.com, OurTime, OkCupid, eHarmony, Zoosk) have similar problems. I don't see any way to stop this other than having your guard up and being smart. Even if you meet someone in person, don't start giving them money as another reviewer did. Also, every site has had people stealing profiles, same as what happens on Facebook.

I’m sure this happens all the time, I was contacted by a convicted felon, recently out of prison, convicted con artist so I’m sure he must have been violating parole if he was on a dating site trying to con women. My issue is with POF. I contacted customer service and was told that there was nothing they could or WOULD do even when I gave them all the info. Ladies beware, you are not safe on POF.

Conducting a Study of POF, these are the findings:

l met this individual on POF dating site and we were talking for 2 Months. He claims to be an intelligence Analyst working for the SIA department as an undercover Agent. After talking to this person for 3 weeks he said he needed to travel to Kabul Afghanistan for an "assignment". But finally when he earned my trust and I was starting to fall in love he asked me if He could deliver a package to me and l refused but finally he convinced me, he said his stuff wasn't safe out there 'cause he was in great danger. Then I received an email from a fake courier service: USNIIS? https://usniis.com and a waybill number to track the "package" then at some point it got in hold in Cambodia? because it didn't pass the inspection service. l had to email them and this individual literally begged me to pay 1,900 USD to the "Cambodia customs" to release this "package" and that box never arrived to its destination!

I signed up with POF and by the 5th day I deleted my account. Within minutes of activating my account, I was greeted by about a dozen attractive women. I played along and after a few exchanges they wanted to chat offsite either on another platform or by texting. All were nothing but Catfish, which I suspected. Don't waste your time with this site, it's worthless. Better off going back to church.

I was actually threatened by a member of POF because he didn't like the place that I live because it is known for diversity. When I complained to the company and asked that he be removed, he was not and they took no action. Many of the members are fresh out of jail and the rest of them are looking for hook-ups. I tried this site three different times and only encountered losers or predators. This is a dangerous dating website.

I signed up with POF a short time ago and received a great amount of attention. Ladies, please be aware of persons that live in other countries or say they are in the military. They are scammers and are trying to talk to you offline. I was duped twice and the second time I was blackmailed and they wanted 3000 dollars for some pictures I shared (nothing X Rated). I never paid and so far so good. It was a horrible experience. I complained to POF but so far nothing. Make sure the person writing you can spell correctly and also knows how to use the English language in correct sentences.

Moments after I completed a profile for "Plenty of Fish"/POF.com I was contacted (via the app) by an escort service. I figured this was normal, and pushed on to find some real singles to talk to. What I found was profile after profile of women who simply do not exist. You write them a message, and they reply back with a message (rife with typos) asking you to sign up for another service so you can "hook up".

Stay away! Far away from this fakery of a dating site!

I joined POF. l was a member for only three months before I decided to closed my account permanently. I had guys to inbox me cursing me out and insulting me because I wouldn't go out with them, when I reported the problem to POF the issues were never addressed and these people were still on the site to harass other women and curse them out too. And also POF have a bad habit about monitoring every inch of all your inbox conversations as well as your pictures and they would always send reminders not to say or do this or that or you risk being removed permanently from their site. The site is terrible. One of the worst that I have ever encountered. I recommend anyone to go to a more decent and classy dating site because POF is a trashy Low classed site with drug addicts and drunks and lowlifes.

POF used to be great about a decade ago (I met my wife of 9 years there and went in countless dates with women). Now, 2019, the place has turned into web GARBAGE. I am a 6-7 looking male in my early 40s and I can summarize my experience as: 30% are superficial immature women looking for a Tall Brad Pitt that makes 250k+ (they stay on the site for AGES waiting, and waiting). 55% are FAKE profiles of beautiful women ran by overseas scammers (I heard real women also face this issue with fake male profiles). 10% are transexuals posed as females (Be careful guys, some of them advertise themselves as real women). 5% are average looking women that may be able to establish a conversation and would like to meet you. So the odds are against you. And by the way, any women 7 and above on the scale will get hundred of emails from men, and since POF only show 10 messages per page, your odds to get read are zero to none. STAY AWAY!!!

In 10 attempts to log in (on different days), I may get in half the time or less. The website only recognizes my credentials (the same user ID and password) sometimes. Many times I get "incorrect user name or password. It has not changed in a while. Even when I did change my password it didn't recognize the new one. A day or two later, I try to log in and it works. I've messaged them twice about this with no response. The site has what seem like quality women on it but with that log in problem I will never pay to upgrade. Plus, I can still communicate with the ladies for free.

Note that this may not have anything to do with POF.COM, but I have no recourse with them because the only way to send a help request/message is through being logged into your account and mine was compromised and not accessible. I tried to call a number online that was listed as a support number. The number immediately disconnected and a different number (800) 505-8921 called me back. The person spent almost two hours getting me to share my computer screen and also my phone on the pretense of refunding me money. I'm pretty sure I was just scammed. I am reporting POF.COM because there has to be *some way* to contact the company besides only having an active account. My account was hacked, they deleted access, and now I cannot access it at all.

I have only been on POF for about 10 days, but have been contacted by two proven scam artists and another two strongly suspected. I am retired law enforcement. Also, there were two others that aroused suspicion. I suggest that anyone on this site, especially older women, google dating scam profiles and techniques.

So basically you sign up for the free browse, then they have fake accounts (their own), people contact you, only you can't see them, but they have this category for interested and want to meet you. The only way to see their profiles or message them, requires paying for their service upfront, just so the person that just hit your profile with a wants to meet, ignoring you and treating you like a terrorist. It's fake, sadly they can't possibly think this can go on forever! And when I went to their customer support about a refund day one, they refused and actually referred me to use Match.com. Like even, if they work in conjunction, they still are telling me that they don't have service to provide even though I paid, here's another one, pay more money cause they're better. Total total SCAM!

An unreliable website for dating, they are swindlers, suck up your $$$ through fake upgrades. Then once they don't like your comments they change your username or password, and send you an email that you or someone has changed your email address and or password. Once you request a reset of your password, they send you no emails. Instead they send an email that their department is so busy with emails that you got to figure things out of how to try logging back on again. Then they harass you with multiple messages that people want to get in touch with you. Now it's from both genders... of course that would push you to delete their link and icon and in turn delete the account. The entire website is a scam!!! Stay away from POF.

I’ve been hacked and scammed - I feel so sad I’ve been with POF for over 7 years And now it’s giving me problems. Very disappointed. Also I am trying to change my ID and my email with in it and my user ID. And two other ladies got scammed. I tried to send an email to customer care at POF.com. It was sent back to me saying I had the wrong domain and I did it through my Gmail - my Google mail. And two other ladies got scammed. I tried to send an email to customer care at POF.com. It was sent back to me saying I had the wrong domain and I did it through my Gmail - my Google mail. This was all done with my smartphone. Well do you have a good evening and thank you very much for your time. Judy **

I keep coming across women that for some reason unknown to me feel like they have to lie about where they are. I don't want anyone to give me the exact place they live right at the start. But lying about the state you're in is unnecessary. In other words, A woman's profile will say that she is in Atlanta. When she really isn't. She isn't even in the state of GA. In reality, she is in Tennessee.

None of the profiles are verified and the men are disgusting perverts for the most part. This site I believe men think it’s a free sex hotline! Vulgar is an understatement. I have been on this site for 2 years off and on and I have yet to meet one person that takes dating seriously. This is 100% just a hookup site for lonely perverts!

I've been using this for about a month and I have only talked to one real person. Half of the female profiles seemingly are fake and the other half of the female profiles I've seen are **. Every time I log on I get at least 2 propositions from call girls within about 10 minutes. The site is very gender biased. Men have very limited use. Nobody returns messages. The email system is designed to sucker you into upgrading and that's it. The activity notification emails you receive from POF usually have nothing to do with your account. Also this company is not based in the US so you have very little legal protection against it. In short, this site is a scam and needs to be shut down.

This site is a joke. Every single woman I talked to eventually wanted credit card info. Either that, or they were fake. Bots! It's a complete waste. It may have been legit at one time? However those times are long gone. Spend your money wisely. If you spend it here, you're a dumb**.

This is an old review but I’ll send it anyway. Back in early 2006 I started chatting with another POF member. We mostly kept it epistolary until five or six months later when we finally met face to face. We met at a Japanese restaurant, ate and talked until they closed. I must say we hit it off, later closed our POF accounts and got married in a Japanese park the following year. Today I can truly say we are still married going on eight years in a marvelous and wonderful relationship!

The FCC need to close these online sites down! POF is terrible. Scammers galore. Please do not go on there. They know it's scammers. Refuse to do anything about it. I never been scammed. I'm too street smart. I heard of people profile being copied from other sites. Yes they are very racist! Staff. I refuse to be bothered. In reality online dating does not work. Most are addicts or some borderline personality disorder people. Save yourself. Meet old fashioned way. These online dating sites. Men are abusive towards women! I'm not having it. It's sad grown men and women. It's really atrocious!!

POF (Plenty of Fish) is not a safe dating site. I've had 2 accounts with POF and both were hacked. One person I met on POF said they saw my profile on another website which I was told is a sister company of POF. When I asked POF about it they shut down my account and will not respond. DO NOT USE POF!

My name is Michelle **. I am a Professional Realtor in Oakland County Mi. I have noted that pof.com is literally harassing me. Which makes no sense unless it is based of racial bias. I noted that I had to recreate my ** Profile at least 4 times. Each time it was created it was deleted by a POF admin for absolutely no good reason. Moreover, I am extremely intelligent, well spoken and presented a highly impressive profile shot about me section. I have a strong handle of the English vernacular so I never used inappropriate language, I never harassed anyone, I never debased anyone. I opened my account to allow myself the opportunity to be highly selective in finding a lifelong partner. To make matters worse, the POF.com admin haunted me down. Like literally looked for my image and or the key words after I changed my profile name to **.

Most of the profiles are fake which is why they never respond. There are also a bunch of scammers who send out links to hook up sites when you actually get contacted. Absolutely stay away as your useless membership is non refundable.

Over 7 months on this site and nothing but fakes, frauds and bottom feeders. Only want money from me, and not little amounts, started with 34k, right? I am stupid enough to send that kind of money to someone I never met. Omg. They should at least do a reverse pic search, the last guy had 5 different names. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

POF keeps deleting my account and it’s really annoying. They’ve also allowed disgusting men who get upset when rejected report my profile to get it deleted. What a trash ** dating site. I’ve reported really vile men and nothing EVER happens to them.

I realized someone had taken a photo off of my profile and used it as their own. I "reported" it to POF and nothing has been done. They allow their users to steal others information and do nothing about it. I have not been contacted to prove the photo was mine nor has the one that stole my picture been forced to remove it.

I have been a POF user for several months and aside from the need to recognize and avoid the numerous fake profiles, the service has been adequate until a few days ago. Mid session, I was logged out and unable to get back in. I contacted customer service via email and received a reply: my email address was no longer associated with my account. I have been using this email address with POF and did not forget my password. Follow up questions to CSR went unanswered. I recreated my account using my same user name and email address. Things were fine for an hour, then I was no longer able to login. I created an account using a new user name and a new email address. It lasted an hour, then it too was disabled. My photos and profile are all within the TOS.

In April 2019 I joined POF website looking for a woman and a relationship, very shortly I was contacted by a person using the name Mustangkat. Her real name was Karen ** aka Karen ** of Mulberry, Fl. We met and went out several times. She said she was a property manager for a mobile home park company in Winter Haven, Fl and Lakeland, Fl. She said she could buy up some cheap mobile homes and resell them and would split the profits, but she did not have the money so I gave her $7000 to buy with. A month later she tried to hit me up for $8500 saying she has a serious tax problem.

I joined POF in the hopes of finding someone for a long term relationship. To my surprise, all I got from POF was scammers after my money with every kind of heartbreaker story imaginable, and shills trying to get me to sign up for some kind of ** site. I reported the offenders to POF and again to my surprise "I" was bounced off of POF and not allowed to be back on. I sent a great many scammers to POF's contact them message site. When I asked why these scammers and shills were never removed POF removed me instead.

I am a man and I had women constantly hitting me up for money. Recently I had a woman contact me for a video chat. Don't ever do that. It's a scam site for ** and they hit your credit card right away. I reported all of the scams right away to POF and nothing was ever done about them. I think the entire site is a scam.

I have been on POF off and on for 4 years. Though I would try it one last time. Now Match has bought it, it costs to do anything. My main problem is I get wanting to meets from women that show 60's but pics are from younger than 35. Also if you want to talk to someone they have all these restrictions. I have seen women that have the same pics from 4 years ago and even one who said her pic was 12 years old. You think someone would change?

I am really disappointed in POF. I was warned it was just a one night hook up site. But it is worse than that. 99% are fake accounts trying to scam you. Why are all the males named John, a widower and a Engineer. They send a message and immediately want to be your soulmate. They want your phone number and to have you download hangout or WhatsApp. I did reverse lookup images and phone numbers. All scammers. Don’t waste your time. It is too much work doing research.

This site has so many fake profiles, woman pics on profiles that say men. You report them and suddenly the pics are gone or a male's pic appears! If you reply to someone, you get broken English answers. Many of the profile age/races don't match the photos and have stupid jobs. Many profiles looking for sex/money.

I met a man on POF about 5 years ago and thought everything was fine but it turned out he was married and an alcoholic. It was several months before I found out that he was still married and he begged me to stay with him and he did get a divorce. The alcoholism never went away so I tried again recently. After making the account, I was messaged by 15 men within a few hours. Even though I had my contact settings within 75 miles, all of them were in other states. I reported all of them and messaged POF to let them know. They deleted my account. This site is 100% scam site now. They try to get your email address, phone numbers or worse your money. Do not join... It really isn't free if you think about your identity or money being stolen from you.

When I went on the site I got a lot of men wanting to chat with me. It was difficult to chat because full messages were not being delivered. Half of the sentences would disappear and I could never get the full message. Men on here like to ask you for money. They want to know your financial situation and then try to take advantage of it. These men reel you in by all their sweet talk and sweetness which is so false. Watch out and beware. Don’t fall for their lies and false statements and promises. Run the other way or better yet get off the site. I was approached too many times from men wanting money and then trying to play the guilt trip on me. Women please heed my advice and do not give anyone money or buy them cards with money on it. It’s sickening how these men prey on woman and play on their emotions. Please don’t fall for it. They will scam you!

I had used this dating site Plenty of Fish (POF) for several years both as a free customer and as a paying one for enhanced services. After recently paying for enhanced services, my account became inaccessible. My username and password were declared incorrect. I attempted multiple times to correct the problem by using the email address I have attached to my account. I tried to revise my password or choose a new password. I was unable to do so since my message led to no replies or advice. However, I continued to receive emails from potential dating partners at this "ineffective" email address. Attempts to request assistance through customer assistance at POF led to no advice; only a message stating all messages to this address will be deleted.

This was pathetic. I thought I was going on POF to find a suitable man which I thought I did. Guess what? The man I thought I found turned out to be a Ghanaian scammer who stole photos of an actual US Marine. It was bad enough that I got no luck on the website with real men, but for POF to allow this fake profile to go through the cracks was unacceptable. Their failure to monitor the fake profile cost me about $100000. It's almost killed me and all report and efforts seem useless until I was referred to agent Wayne **, an Independent cyber security contractor who was very helpful and instrumental in helping me get almost all my money back. I was skeptical at first but decided to give him a try and I was able to get a substantial part of my money back. If you are a victim of any kind of scam, you should contact him as soon as possible. he might be able to help you just as he helped me.

I have used Plenty Of Fish off and on for many of years for dating. Well they kept deleting my profile, due to defending myself against disrespectful women, which we all know that POF is one-sided and defend women against men. There is no equality on this site at all. You complain or make a wrong remark you're deleted without a fairness. But I haven't tried to get on POF in a long time, until now.

This site is for women by women only. A female can block you but when she harasses you, you can not block them. Don’t waste your time here. It’s total bollocks. You look for a block button on your profile but only females' profile has a block button.

In 2018 I paid for a 1-year subscription under the belief that if I paid for the year, I would not be billed again. After the year was up, the vendor decided to bill me for another year without giving me any notice that either my subscription was ending or give me an opportunity to terminate my year. Then the vendor went ahead and charged me for a second year without getting my consent or approval. I went ahead and deleted my account and now the vendor is telling me that they can not cancel the transaction. I have disputed the transaction with my bank and they are still awaiting the vendor's response. This is no way to run a business.

After being a non upgraded member of POF for sometime I decided to try a 3 month subscription with POF. So after purchasing a 3 month upgraded plan I realized I had to quickly cancel the recurring subscription charges. First of all, POF does not make it easy to cancel. Also, as soon as I successfully cancelled, POF deleted my account. No warning I had a little less than 2 months left on my paid upgraded membership. I also noticed that POF seems to have automatically signed me up to other dating sites associated with POF because I had two subscriptions that I had a hell of a time trying to cancel and reverse. 2 unauthorized charges for 2 subscriptions to 2 websites that I did not even visit. All in all, POF was a nightmare to deal with. I still can't get in to my POF account as it seems to have been deleted completely and not by me. As far as I'm concerned POF is a scam.

Worst dating site ever!!! It was good about 10 years ago. Now it's full of fake profiles trying to get your money. Most of the woman are ugly to say the least. This site should be free. Almost every profile of any half way decent looking girl wants to take you to another site and try to spam you. Don't waste your time or money. 90% of the woman are fat, **, or transgender so if you like that then you will love this site.

I joined this site on a Friday Evening. By Sunday morning I received over 40 people who apparently wanted to know me better. I answer the hello to a few and gave either an email address or phone number to a few. To my surprise, I was able to prove that 5 of them were the same person. Once I realized that, I took my picture off the site. They would send me same email same email content from 3 different names and different pictures and profiles. Or I would request to talk and the voice and words used and the accent were the same. I tricked them with questions such if you are Spanish can you speak it? He would create a new story how he grew up in Australia. Be aware that there is more scam than reality on this site.

I tried to log in to my original profile, but to no avail. Unfortunately, there isn't a POF customer service telephone number that you can call to inquire and resolve issues about your account. Therefore, in order to contact the POF Customer Service Department, you have to email their department to receive resolution and that is a complete waste of time, and energy.

I set up an account for dating. Imagine that??? Nothing fake. Nothing offensive. I sleuthed around and got a few hits. I never even answered any emails because the women were not attractive. They deleted my account one day and I have no idea why. So I asked them why and the administrators said "we can't tell you." Get this.......While sleuthing, I noticed active Vegas PROSTITUTES from Seeking Arrangement working on PoF. They are still on the site, I am sure. POF = PLENTY OF FLAKES to include the site owners!!!

Joel reached to me and said he loved me the second or third text. Joel mentioned his charity contributions. Joel sent his American Express username & password along with his credit limit $10,000. Joel asked me at least 4 times my credit card username & password. FOOLISHLY I gave my username & password. Not sure what Joel did. I was no longer able to log in my account.

In a week the only messages I got were from the above mentioned or a hijacked account. Who knows. I canceled without a refund.

Updated on 05/13/2019: When something goes wrong with the login, which is often, trying to get to tech support is not easy, even if you are a paying customer. Once you finally reach someone (only by email, there is no chat support) the answers they send back seem to ignore the problems you are having, and suggest things you have already reportedly tried. They don't bother to look at their logs and see what particular problem is going on with your specific account. In other words, the reply seems to be written by a robot with no authority to investigate or fix the problem.

Routinely having problems with the site. When you do run into a real person, quality of people is low. There are a few good people on POF, but most are into games or are not real. Support for the site doesn't exist. Basically they send you to Q and A links. Try somewhere else. You will be better off.

I found a very high percentage, if not most, of the matches who contacted me were clearly scammers and easy to spot if one knows the signs to look for! Strange use of English, only one “stock” type photo, avoiding responses to questions, too familiar. PoF does not seem to do any kind of verification of the members to make sure they really exist and are who they say they are! I joined as a paid member and so am stuck! I have attempted to contact them twice, but there has been NO response at all! Stay away from this dating site! I have been told since then that it has a poor reputation! Too late for me, but I can at least help others not to make the same mistake!

POF has about 75% scams on here. But the other 15% are real people. I've been on here for about 2 weeks. Every time I get someone who is real and have something going...my messages disappears and every potential individual gone. Take for instance today I was going to try to meet someone and the moment I text, "where exactly" my entire phone froze and my phone went black for a while. This happened to me twice btw. Every time the light comes on my phone screen it acts very slow and meanwhile I'm pressing the off button the whole time. When I finally do it my phone turns on fine and the messages and the individual is gone... So you can kiss my ** POF!! AND SHOVE THIS GARBAGE FAR UP YOUR **. 'Cause dating can be possible on this app. But now I truly believe it's a piece of **! Don't bother... It's a waste of time and money!! ** You!

You'll be immediately warned off when you notice that their website looks like it hasn't been redesigned since 1998. Upon signing up I was immediately bombarded with messages and "likes" by a variety of women, all of whom turned out to be fraudsters. I'm pretty tech-savvy so this doesn't pose a threat to me but POF is just identity theft and bank fraud waiting to happen for more naive users. Avoid this service like the plague. It doesn't even offer quality matches when you disregard the bots. Use something like Bumble instead.

The site begins well but rapidly deteriorates from the moment they start sending me 'wants to meet requests'. As a direct result of their ambitious policies, I have to date received 41 such requests, all of which cannot be verified nor even posed as genuine unless an upgrade is made. I have no proof that these user names even exist. I have every reason to believe they are ploys or mini plots to extract that last dollar from my bank account. Needless to say, the geographic location surrounding each request is never divulged.

Being on this site for one week I was contacted by 3 scammers. They're writing is somewhat broken English although they say they are from the state they live in and English as a first language. Obviously that's not true. I was asked for money. I was asked for iTunes cards. Many profiles are not real. Be careful. They will text you and want to meet you and all of a sudden will be going out of state for a couple of weeks when you talk about meeting. That is when they usually ask for money or whatever. Be careful. They are very charming but watch for the broken English and all of a sudden having to leave town for a while before you meet. I have reported these but they're still on there. Beware.

When I requested a refund they said they will not refund me. Please reconsider doing business with Plenty of Fish. They are willing to deceive people over such a small amount of money. Can you trust them with your private information and dating life? Thanks.

First, I would like to say, the purpose of this review is to communicate a resolution in the case of a negative review that I personally gave on April 24, 2019. My review was 1 star and had stated the case that I was removed from POF as a paid subscriber to elite services without any notice or reasoning other than policy was broken by me. My review also reflected that I am transgender and that I was disgusted with the fact that I could not participate for that reasoning alone. I questioned whether or not POF was imposing upon my Civil Rights and/or performing a hate crime against me.

They block anything that has the word “sex” in it or “nudes”. My female friend and I tried it. She can send any vulgar word in the book to me. But it will not allow the male to even use the word sex! They don’t tell you they blocked it. You have to look back at the convo to see that your message doesn’t exist. They just decided for themselves that they don’t like it and scrap your message.

It's a scam! Your password stops working for no reason within a few days and the recovery system does not work - email reset never ever sends. However your profile remains active and POF uses your information and photos as so they please, including posting them on other websites! There is no way to contact customer service on the site, no phone number or contact form or chat. That explain why 200 out of 250 profiles returns on a search are repeated! Folks get kicked out and create another profile using another email. So probably their actual users are about 15%-20% of what POF tells/advertise to users and com advertisers to raise their ad prices.

2 stars for being a site that allows you to chat without paying. That being said, I have been on for only a few weeks, but it's almost all fake profiles of what I presume to be Russian bots trying to get you to depart you of your hard earned moolah. I used to find it funny responding to their broken English with nonsensical replies ("my hovercraft is full of eels" is my nerdy Monty Python go to). But it's quickly getting old. The admins apparently don't do anything to stop it. I have never paid for this site, and don't intend to. Not while THIS is allowed to occur.

I was recently scammed by a STEVEN **, whom I fell in love with for over 10 months, he took all my savings and loans, lost my house and car in the process, he keeps asking for more money to come see me and things from where he is keeps coming up, claimed to live in OK and Michigan and went to both addresses. Nobody has seen the person before, went to the army he serving, they have no record of him, I was more than devastated when he continued with the story after I caught him, in a bid to recover my hard earn money I contacted the FbI, who later gave me a tutoring.

I didn’t expect much from POF. But I gave it a shot. The first problem was the fake messages from supposed users asking me to put more pictures up. The second problem is multiple likes supposedly from POF users and not one says hello, but I get bombarded with upgrade offers. Third, for a dating site there’s no way to filter straight, bs, gay, women. Fourth problem is many of the female profiles are from other sites and there’s no way to communicate with that user, POF does not tell us the profile is fake. You just have to happen to be on another site and see the exact same profiles. Fifth, many of the “female” users are men with makeup and female clothes on. It’s sad.

Keep getting messages that people want to meet you? Yes so you upgrade and of course you pay. Then you see that any of those people who want to meet you don't! Then you message others then guess what? They don't get your messages. POF is just one big scam site set up to make you believe that people are interested in you. Also you state that you would like to meet people of a certain size, age, etc, but guess what? You get the polar opposite. Do not trust as you will then be inundated with other sites constantly emailing you to join in their sites, total spam! They really do not deserve one star but that is the lowest that I could give.

I join POF.com back in 2014 and being new to the dating again there were a lot of things I really liked about Plenty-of-fish. I was meeting a lot of people and my biggest complaint was I really not knowing exactly who I was meeting because they were not showing recent pictures. But I do have to say that seems to be a problem with all dating sites. Seems to be the other #1 complaint is fake or active profiles. This seems to be a problem on quite a few dating sites MATCH, OURTIME, POF. I have come to the conclusion it is not about you finding the love of your life. It is about how much money they can make.

First there's not a real customer service number, there's no way to contact someone for assistance. Next in order to use the service you have to answer the very limited options even if they don't apply, meaning a person would have to lie in order to use the service. My parents' background, income and job title are none of their business! Then when I wasn't happy about these questions and not interested in their service I was not allowed to cancel and delete my account, advised I have to wait at least 24 hours, enough time for them to extract my information. I am extremely uncomfortable with this.

Beware of a scammer on POF named "Nick" that claims he works on a Royal Carribean Cruise as a chef. He says he lives in Horseheads NY, is widowed, Vietnamese, lived in Horseheads his whole life but has a foreign accent and broken English. He will tell a woman all she wants to hear and spend lots of time doing it. When he is to come home at the end of his contract on the ship he will text with a horrible story that he is on Mombasa Island and the cruise ship left. And he forgot his wallet and man purse on the ship and will ask for money for a speed boat ride to get to the nearest city for the airport. I did not send money because if he wanted to come home to me bad enough he would have swam across the ocean. I simply text him back after he asked for money with the reply "scammer." I have not heard from him since.

I have encountered many profiles in my area of women I find interesting. When I attempted to message them, I would get a pop saying the member had chosen to only receive messages from upgraded members. On 4-5-19 I saw the profile of a real life friend scroll by and I tried to send her a message. I got the same Pop up. So I sent her a message on social media asking her why she did that. She said she had not made a requirement for anyone to pay to meet her. She promptly deleted her account. Plenty of Fish is, in my opinion, lying to people in order to get them to pay a subscription fee. If this is not illegal it should be!

Ok couldn't log into POF for a while so I sent for password reset but never got an email got password reset. I looked for a customer service phone number and found a customer service support phone number. Called and was told I'd be walked through the process so I thought GREAT! After providing my username and password for them to check, so I was told, (not worried since it is "POF' right?) So after this they said they had found the problem, ran into a dead spot (traveling, informed them and they said they'd call back in 20 minutes). No call ever came so I called back and was informed I had to upgrade to retrieve my account.

POF do not ask if you need help. They know if you are not using this site. I have been ill for ages and not had any emails to meet people, so why would they just take money if I have been away for a long time or if I had not had any decent communication from others. So it did not work for me, and they are bad business people as it has been hard to communicate to them. If this happens again on a site, not to ask questions and get help, by phone especially, like Airbnb do, they are great communicators on the web. POF can track usage and really if they were in your best interest, they would ask me if I needed help, if I want to continue before automatically taking money from my account. HOW DARE THEY! This is not the way us Aussie do things, the customer is always right. If there is a problem then they should fix it & not steal our money etc...

I've been on [POF] Plenty of Fish for a very long time! I am a very picky person! This last couple of years have been HORRIBLE!! Scams, prostitution, fake profiles! These have become a never ending problem! I've reported this to the developers of POF and never heard anything back! I can't tell you how many times I've reported these issues to them! But nothing gets done about it. I personally think the developers are somehow involved in this mess! As it has to be fully known by now what is going on. I've kept e-mail records of these so called profiles clicking on meet me!

Continue kept kicking me off. The last time I had made a profile and never got to message anyone before they kicked me off. The last one I had I reported a fake user and I got kicked off. Don't waste your time as in I'm going to build my own dating site just for the simple fact to drive the few user on POF to me.

I’d say one in five profiles are fakes intending to scam or for prostitution. They must not review any part of the profiles prior to allowing them on their site. It’s really ridiculous. The profiles are too easy to spot yet there are hundreds I’ve seen on the site. So many messages from fake profiles and weeding through them to see real ones led me to canceling my upgraded membership.

For the past several months it seems that there are more scammers than real people. Yesterday alone I counted what was coming thru on the "meet me" feature. Over 300 obviously fake users.... Women with 58 in their age when they are obviously in their 30's... Links to Russian ** sites. Profile pictures of their ** or butts. Out of all of those there were maybe 5 "legitimate" profiles. Sorry... I'm not willing to ever consider "upgrading" so I can take advantage of any "premium" services to find out more about these fakes. The only reason I give them even ONE star is because it's one of the few sites you can actually email someone without buying a subscription.

I would not recommend POF. There are many people that want to scam you or prostitute themselves. I had a bigger issue: Someone hacked into my account and sent letters to people 20 years my senior. The letters were disrespectful. I informed POF in written form as there is no customer service number. They did NOTHING. Then the guy switched my photo with one that resembles a 100 year old grandfather. AGAIN informed POF. They did nothing. It seems they don t care about the account security of their members. I and some friends deleted our accounts.

Ok, so this is like the 5th time that I've been on this stupid dating app and all the time, my account got deleted for no ** reason! So here's the question for you Mr. Markus, or should I say Mrs.! So do you think you'll get more popularity like that? You think I'm going to sign up again? Maybe I will, and I will put a picture of my ** on it so you can contemplate it when you're bored and have nothing to do. Your piece of ** is definitely a piece of **, and thousands of people know that already. If you're looking to waste your time, so POF is the way to go. Or if you really want to meet real people, there are so many places you can go, and so many other good dating sites, but defy not this ** POF **.

I've been here about three months. Totally disappointed! They clearly gave my personal information out to the web. I am getting tons and I mean tons of disgusting pornographic email and texts now. Most of the messaging is obviously generated by POF itself. "Meet me" messages that include inappropriate links. Only maybe at best 5% of messages are real and that's generous. Obviously the women far, far outweigh men here. Went on four dates that actually didn't turn out to be only about one night stands but even they were nothing like their profiles stated at all. I basically sat down and said I had to go to the john and ducked out the back. Obviously women don't read any of your profile info and just check out your photo and want to meet immediately. It doesn't really matter 99.999% of the women here are disgusting women that I would cross the street to avoid saying hi to. I paid a full year but I keep it logged off. Good luck fellas. I'm going back downtown.

Plenty of fish is a nightmare! Nothing like it used to be!! You get spammed every day, by online prostitutes and and outside entities who are trying to lure you into their website/pornographic. This is getting really old! I tried a number of times to get ahold of management to make suggestions on what to do but never get any kind of feedback. I've been using POF since it first started! It was a great site! Loads of features you could use to narrow down searches as to what type of woman/relationship you were seeking! Today it's all about sparing someone's feeling of inadequacy, this is very poor judgement on POF's part to cater to this sort of behaviour! It feeds one type of poor behaviour and allows tonnes more to come into the spotlight while guys like myself have to suffer with the garbage that is left behind... Phoney profiles people scamming, unknown third party entities spamming people's inboxes.

Support is non-existent. The site routinely "forgets" login information requiring the recreation of the profile totally from scratch. The site claims to be completely free but in fact keeps certain key features (username search, seeing who likes a profile, for example) unless an "upgrade" is paid for. There is no profile screening function to remove obvious fakes and scammers. Overall a totally useless site.

The dating site is low quality and the admins are not doing a great job to sort out the rubbish. Also support is basically non existent and if there is finally an answer it is just scripted and not helpful. I recommend to everyone not to waste their time with this site/app.

This site is ridiculous and offers nothing of value. The headline says it all. Every woman I've had contact with over 2 years has offered ** or wanted to scam me. To be honest online dating has become at least 90% scammers. It's unfortunate, but it's very doubtful you'll ever meet anybody interested in anything but themselves. Most "women" can't even write or speak English. You'll know you're being scammed when every, yes every reply is, "Hey there. :)" Complete waste of time.

I've signed up for POF twice in the last week. The site has kicked me out both times and doesn't recognize my password. The link says an email will be sent but it wasn't. I tried many times and nothing happened. There is no customer service number or email AT ALL!!! This site is terrible!!! I give up!!! I can't even delete BOTH of my profiles!!! Now, it looks like I refuse to respond to those who attempt to communicate!!! I was just about to respond to someone near me...UGH!!!

In the past few years, I was a member of POF 3 separate times. I live in the State of CA. So 3 strikes I'm done. I was in disbelief at the high number of scammers, liars, opportunists, users. I got so many liars and scammers, I would ask them straight out. They would lie when I asked them questions in a message or phone. Are you a scammer? Do you want a relationship or are you just looking for hookups? They lied and scammed so much, they had no remorse. Just about getting what they want. There may be 1% to 3% on this site that are genuine. But that is being generous. I will never go on this site again. A huge waste of time and energy. Instead, I just deleted my account. I will take a break. Plan to sign up with Match.com soon.

I would say that about 80% of the profiles are fake (scammers). I am constantly blocking many each day. I can spot a fake scammer a mile away. Also, I report main profile photo as not being a face photo and nothing is done. Each day these profiles appear with main photo of guitar, boat, fish, etc. NOT a human face. They should proof all photos before being allowed on the site, like Match.com does. Not that Match doesn't also have lots of fakes.

Being freshly retired from the military, I wanted to broaden my possibilities to meet a good woman and enjoy the next chapter in life with. In just over one year, I met a staggering two women. One who showed up looking 10-12 years older than her photos with a huge chunk of gray hair that reminded me of a skunk. The second woman could rival Harry Houdini with her "disappearing" acts. Realizing that 98% of the women did NOT read my profile, I just added more photos and condensed my profile write-up. While this change seemed to have better results, the quality of women responding were less than favorable. And I am a man who prefers quality over quantity.

This site is too proper! WTF. Like seriously... Who is not looking to hook up?! I wish I could actually take this site and throw it physically into the trash!!! My account was deleted without them even telling me. **!

Recently, I purchased a 3 month subscription to the Plenty of Fish application period from the beginning, I would get notification after notification saying someone was interested in me, only to find that their profiles had been deleted. Only a fraction of the members responded to any E mails I sent out. And then, I was contacted by a woman who said she wanted to meet. Before we knew it, we were texting to each other and this morning, a gentleman called me and told me that I had been communicating with his 15 year old daughter. I have sent feedback time after time, asking them to delete my profile and they simply ignore my emails.

There are a lot of frauds on this site. I've had indecent proposals and even been hit up for money. One guy I'd checked out with the state court records and though he was real... he was just off probation for pleading guilty to a domestic assault with a weapon. I reported him and blocked him, but POF unblocked him on me and he found me again. I am a professional and have a business. I am easy to find... I do not appreciate POF's lack of concern for their user's safety.

I been on this app for 1 year and 3 months. I'm looking for a serious relationship that I can build. But I get a bunch of creeps and fake profiles, scammers, gold diggers, & liars. The app is nothing to help users out. Especially making people pay for a subscription, for to talk to women. Or woman to talk to guys. I don't see me going out to public and spend 8 dollars to talk to women. Plus all I get is wants to meet me but no messages. And that's annoying to see. I would definitely not recommended this app to anyone.

I unfortunately paid for a 8 month subscription and for the 1st month I would get messages from what I thought were real ladies on this site. I would respond and eventually after a few responses back and forth the messages would end. This happened many times making me wonder if I am getting scammed. I also received many messages from females with just 1 photo saying, "Hey there!" Then following up with a link to a spam site, or ** site. Disgusting and a waste of time. Surely money thrown out the window. Avoid, at all costs.

Paid for 8 month upgrade. About one month in and have been overwhelmed with likes and meet mes from so many fake profiles. Becoming good at spotting them, e.g the 48 year old with a 20 year old's photo. If you message them, you will be asked to communicate offsite, or sent a link to some ** site. The notion that they validate profiles is ridiculous or at best highly ineffective.

There are some genuinely decent guys on the site worth talking to and setting up a date with. But amidst the other 80% who are claiming to be sugar daddies or just blatantly perverted asking immediately for nudes or talking about their junk and insisting on a hook up being arranged after you already told them you’re not interested. Then when you block them for harassment and improper conduct your account is deleted without warning or communication nor can you ever join again. WHAT A LOAD OF CROCK. So now the once gentleman I found that I was going to set up a date with tonight I have no contact with. THANK YOU PLENTY OF FISH FOR CATERING TO SEX PREDATORS.

I simply had asked Plenty of Fish for a refund after they had kicked me out. They returned my refund for $10. About an hour later I get an email from Plenty of Fish saying, "We have kicked you out 'cause of your bad conduct," on there which I wasn't even causing any issues at all on that site. I think it was completely unfounded and I think they only kicked me out of their site 'cause they're a bunch of cheapskates who only want people's hard earned money. I'm boycotting that site and never returning again.

I wasn't happy when POF customer service blocked me to join again just because I told some males off because a few guys really rude. For local people only targeting women for sex or taking advantage from solo parents like me. I also ever got scammed by a few guys who stolen someone's else identity and after sent him money for this year he didn't want to see me until I make another payment. Do they think we here for either atm machine or sex toys? I want someone I can spend the rest of my life because I have kids full time. Seriously dating sites this stage not about love anymore but about taking advantage from innocent people.

POF is proliferated to little more than a scam dating site these days. When they started, they were the best. Now the site is full of bogus profiles that are painfully obviously fakes, yet "Markus" doesn't do anything, and will kick off anyone that points this out to them. The "Wants to meet you" feature is a joke, it is just a way they try to get you to pay, when you don't need to. If the site wasn't such a scam filled joke, it would be worth it, but as it is, "Markus" has let it become a joke. Way to go, "Markus"....

I have used POF for 5 yrs on and off. I have been catfished. I have met guys for one night stands and I have in the end found a long term boyfriend. Some guys on this site are married or cheating on girlfriends. I have had a married man's wife contact me. I told her the truth. Her husband contacted me on the POF website but we had never exchanged messages. Thank God he wasn't my type and I ignored him. I have gotten to the point where I can pick out the scammers before even sending a message. Their profile pictures are blank, the profile is a meme or a picture of a celebrity. A lot of the people are cheating on mates so be careful. Also, have had run ins with men who claim to have job but are on disability. It's truly crazy the lies that these men will come up with to get your attention.

First of it was free! I tried 3 other sites prior to this one which weren't free, and they were busts. Second it had a good chemistry test and enough space for writing your profile. The % of chemistry you shared with potential matches was helpful. It was easy to use and communicate with others. It wasn't hard to use if you had to update information or tweak details. I eventually found my match, after only having to meet two men, the second one was my match. We have been together for 6 years now and have just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary! We are both so thankful to this site for helping us find each other. It honestly is a great site to utilize and I strongly recommend it. And again it was FREE!

What a garbage company. Me and my boyfriend had our photos stolen, off of our social media accounts or something, and then some fool proceeded to make a fake account for my boyfriend. Obviously, it's fake AF because my man is a LIBRA and clearly they entered the wrong birthday and it claims he is a VIRGO. Even in the description this fool tried to make it seem like the site messed up. Why the HECK would anyone continue using this site? Go outside or get a job and meet people face to face. Because this site, is only encouraged by the number of downloads and payouts from desperate people. I will admit, way back in 2012 it was a totally cool dating site. But now, it is literally compromising the relationships of people who DONT EVEN USE THE SITE. Just avoid using it guys. And do your best to protect yourselves from FOOLS.

The same day I joined the site POF I received a ridiculous amount of messages. I couldn’t answer all because I was busy so I did answer some selectively. However I thought it strange that so many messages could be coming in within minutes. Wondered if it was fake but I overlooked it and went on to uploading pics and answering a few messages. While doing so I noticed I kept getting a pop up to upgrade my account by paying so I could get more attention. I wasn’t into that because it’s a dating site. Fraud comes in all forms.

I paid the site only for 1 month. And the other month the site automatically renewed. I did not see at the time of purchase that the site automatically renews. I wrote asking to cancel the payment and the site said that it does not cancel. In addition to paying, I still receive several spam. This site is of no use.

I have been off and on the site for several years. It seems to get worse each time. Most of the men are unemployed with the front of owning a business. The businesses are always lawncare, handyman or a car wash. Something where they work when they feel like it. The ones I met eventually started complaining about money, their bills and didn’t want to spend money to go out. Many live with their mother under the cover of “taking care” of her due to illness. I met about 7-8 guys on the site and only 2 had a full time jobs. Sad but true. Most can’t even write a complete sentence or spell basic words. It’s full of uneducated, unemployed losers.

I'm now pretty sure POF creates these countless fake profiles. They are all very generic and follow a general pattern. I'd not recommend anyone to this app as they have made it impossible to use. I find it very ridiculous they would spawn so many obvious fake profiles.

Lady’s watch out for a man name Mark **. He is good looking, will say he owns his own business. Has a dog name Warrior. House paid off. No debt. Will ask you questions about your debt and soon he will promise you the world. Tell you everything you want to hear and say I love you. Then scaled me out of lots of money because he was in a different country and couldn’t get back home. POF will not take him off. Be safe.

Since signing up a week ago, I get numerous emails daily (average 20-25) that so-and-so man "wants to meet me" yet NONE of these takes the simple action of sending me a quick message within the app??? Probably just as well, since the ones I message usually return 2 messages, then either send unsolicited ** pics or otherwise indicate that despite stating "looking for relationship" in the profile, they're really just after a hookup. Losers!! None of the men I've found on POF are actually looking for what they say they are: an intelligent, down-to-earth girl with decent body weight (I'm an attorney, 5'7 weighing 140, and do CrossFit 5 times a week. Not bad looking either. Wish I could find a place to meet QUALITY men!!

I was told my account was hacked and if I went and bought 2 $50 Google Play cards they could fix it. Total scam!!! Do not call the 833 phone number. Also contact number 604 area code in Canada does not work. Only way to fix this is email customer service.
