POF.com Reviews

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.

Ladies beware of the fake military profiles of widows with small children and on deployment that are being used on this dating website. They will immediately ask for your phone number. Do Not give it. If their text words look like they are talking a little funny or LONG Romantic paragraphs of pledges of attraction and love at first seeing your picture and profile is a sign you are being scammed. I have only been on this site for maybe 1 month and have repeatedly seen this. This website is not safe to use.

My account was hacked. I noticed I started receiving a bunch of POF meet me responses, and when I went to log in my user pass did not work all the sudden. I checked my email and in junk folder there was message that my POF email changed from csr@pof.com. I tried the change password option include in e-mail, but I didn't get e-mail (must of went to new hacker e-mail address). For past several days I have e-mailed for support with just generic responses with links to reset my password which do not work as my e-mail was changed by hacker I'm guessing. Has anyone had physical support from POF customer service for issues like this? I have never had problems like this getting support.

I have been on and off of POF over the last few years. I’ve had a few dates but this site is now declining rapidly. It is all to the benefit of females. Too easy to block the good guys. Plus, spamming and phishing (fake profiles) are rampant. It used to be good but not no more.

I paid for a 4-month upgraded membership in September. In January, I received an email saying that my membership will expire, along with my card the following day. It provided a link for renewing, which I didn’t follow because I didn’t want to renew. The next day, I received a fraud alert from my credit card. Turns out I was on autopay with PayPal and I had been charged. Not what I needed since I’ve been furloughed from my job from the federal government. I contacted POF and told them I did not want to renew and their email was misleading about my card expiring. They would not refund my membership. They did turn off my auto renew.

When I was single 6 or 7 years ago, POF was actually a legit website and you could meet real women by using it. I actually met someone on POF that I wound up marrying. Back to being single again, so created another profile. Now it's a writhing, teeming cesspool of Russian/Indian/whatever scammers that steal photos of models off the internet, create a profile with one photo and a one sentence bio of same half-English gibberish, wait for you to view/message them, and then send you a link to a ** site. This website is hot garbage. Do NOT pay for a subscription to this dumpster fire. Seriously, if you see a picture of an actual attractive woman on this website, there is a 99.9% chance it's a scammer. All the real profiles are for women you almost assuredly do not want to date.

Trying to login to the dating site Plenty of Fish (POF) is absolutely hopeless. In my case, I was on the site about 10 years ago. I think I made the mistake of using the word “sensual” in one my ads. I understand POF wants and succeeds in having good taste and is a classier than experience than all the idiots who were in the Craigslist personals. But, honestly, the word “sensual” warrants a lifetime ban? Once in a while I try, again, to login, create a new user name and-or new password. But the site recognizes my email address and will not allow me to re-establish a new account. POF has plenty of members and they do not care if you cannot login or open an account. They do not need me or you. Move on. Possibly try a print ad in the National Examiner tabloid in the “ Sheela Wood Find A Friend” personal ads. They will not allow profanity or explicit sexual language, but words such as “sensual” are perfectly acceptable. Good Luck.

I have visited the POF website on and off for about 6 years. When I first tried it, about 6 years ago, the website was top shelf. I have seen it deteriorate greatly since then. Yes, the women don't like the guys who only want sex, and the guys are tired of women showing up weighing "tons" more than what their photos show. But those are actual users and not the website itself.

** is a compulsive liar. Not that educated and definitely not a manager. Has wife and kid at home, says she is terminally ill and left him with debt. Telling sob stories all the time. Scamming money and just wants to plenty of ** Buddies with benefits, as well. Cliff isn't his real name! Has a lot of Facebook accounts. Hard to believe that he's divorced then go on holiday together with his Mrs, this was a wedding event as well. Knows how to set up a trap slowly and when you've somehow sussed him out. It's an excuses of lies over lies. Ladies don't be fooled by his posh accent. My private detective had to warn me. Not a genuine person to be good friends with as stated on his POF profile.

Fake ads and fake mail. It's easy to spot them. One word mail. One picture, not matching the correct age of member as stated in their profile. What a pain getting slammed by fakes. Markus is clueless. He's part of this scam. Is there really a Markus. Save yourself some grief and don't join. You'll thank me later. I also got hacked through POF. Didn't appreciate that.

Recently contacted by an attractive man and of course got excited by the, so he wants to chat on WhatsApp, Quite common these days, so I agree. SO turns out that David is out in Turkey on a military mission and he has left his 13-year-old daughter at home in Harborne, Birmingham Uk, with schoolmistress? I did think this a little odd. Another story of his parents dying in a car crash when he was young and his grandmother looked after him.

Very well put together scam this app is. I made the mistake of a upgraded account as soon as I opened a normal one. That's 40 quid I'll never see again. Like everyone else on this page has said. Most profiles are fake sending spam links. Not only that, After you spend a stupid amount of money on upgrading your account the site still constantly pesters you on spending more money on "Tokens" to "get more popular and be noticed faster." What the hell is this!? A casino where you pay every time to spin for a random girl who almost definitely won't respond either because she doesn't exist or because the people that ARE real on this site are precious little princesses that have no personality that think. I should be crawling on my hands and knees just for them to say hello? It's not got a good crowd.

For one I think this site is sexist and allows men to degrade women and insult women with no consequences and do whatever they want. Most of these men on this site are just looking for sex and lie and say they want a relationship or something long term to get it. Once they realize that they might not get it they get nasty and mean and kick the girl to the curb to move on to the next victim. Some men’s profiles even say insulting things about women in their profiles and they aren’t deleted. I think this is run by sexist men who don’t care about how these men are treating women on this site. Women have to go through so much with trying to find a man on here that is not just looking to get in her pants if she actually want a real relationship and not just a hook up.

Since last year I've had 4,246 fake profiles asking me to give them my email address. And I've met 23 women for dates, all of them ugly as. And about 50% of those were already married... I've also noted that around 25% of those had a criminal record. And 10% lost custody of children because of a drug habit. Not a very nice crowd.

After being on POF for a couple of years, I considered becoming a paid member, until I started receiving many fake looks, likes & being favored by users that didn't seem to exist. Lately I've started to see new profiles of absolutely super hot women (Red Flag). I would select that I liked them. To my surprise, they all liked me back (another Red Flag)! When I would go to the Mutual liked page, the profiles didn't exist anymore. When you message some accounts, you could tell they were bots replying with canned responses, totally unrelated to the message you. Most of the replies try to get you to message them off the POF site.

I've been a member of POF for a number of years and decided to upgrade and pay for membership this year. This past weekend after chatting with another member for a couple weeks, I uploaded pics to my profile and shared them privately with this member. I then deleted them from my profile. Shortly after this I went to upload a couple more and was faced with a message telling me my uploading privileges had been revoked. After multiple emails to POF demanding an explanation they replied with this:

Fraud, scam and theft on this website!!! Do not pay for new features like webcam! POF have stolen 100£ from my account. Thieves and nothing real = Plenty Of Fish. I'M still waiting for my money back, but nothing. Be very careful and do not send your card details. POF = scam.

I made a few decent connections on POF, but recently it's being overrun with these gorgeous young women profiles that are clearly fake. They use the same "tagline" and if you upload their profile pic to Tineye.com you'll most likely get 4-40 results showing all the ** photo sites their picture is posted. Reporting them is useless as I half believe it's POF itself doing this. The bottom line is NO gorgeous woman whose picture is a perfect body and face is going to be on POF, which in reality is for the older, plain-faced, overweight woman (majority - sorry, but true).

POF.com is a gross place. Don’t pay for the upgrade - everyone who wants to “meet you” is a **. There are no real people who will ever show up on that tab. Also people there tend to be incredibly shallow, vapid and downright mean. It’s an awful site that is infested with fake accounts. Don’t do it. All it will do is kill your self-confidence. Oh also someone tried to catfish me.

Updated on 12/22/2018: I want to add some more to my previous review. I have a POF setting that prevents people from messaging me unless their message is 50 characters in length. I thought that would stop the sexbots from emailing me. But I just got a message from a sexbot and the message was "Hey there!" Obviously, Markus is behind these sexbots. The site is mostly unusable now as anyone I click on "Who Viewed You" or "New Users", I end up seeing mostly sexbots and no one real. Even when I click on "Who's Online", I see at least 3-5 sexbots. I think that POF is officially dead. Markus must have gotten greedy and decided that he could make more off of sexbots and die hard loyalists than before when it was just upgraded members. Someone needs to make a new dating site because POF just isn't what it was before with the nonstop sexbot spam that Markus allows.

I've soon realized that Plenty Of Fish is posting their own fake women on their website leading you to another website they own, it's funny if you write to them and say you're fake instantly they disappear, I can sit there right over and over and over again to each fake person and instantly they all disappear, if you see a pretty sexy young woman on Plenty Of Fish it's fake. They put that there... How can one site claiming to help lonely people take advantage of them instead...

This site is awful. As soon as I upgraded, I already had messages in my account from bots with profile pics of scantily clad women. Half the messages said the exact same thing: "Hey there!" Then every few minutes I'd get a red indicator at the top of the screen telling me that someone else wanted to meet me, and it showed a profile pic of yet another girl hardly wearing anything. It's all just a bunch of fake profiles looking to scam you in some way or another. Computer generated garbage. Freakin' ridiculous. This website should be shut down!

I have had to create multiple accounts, only to find that the website utilizes shadow banning of users. Certain keywords trigger their system and then you have to change your password which leads to you being full shadow banned. Once you are shadow banned, you still have an account, but you will stop receiving mutual matches from real accounts.

I am writing this review now that I reside in Los Angeles. In 2013 while living in Phoenix, I first started using POF. In 2013 I met a woman and everything was pretty much legit. Here in LA it's a JOKE & a SCAM! I have received emails from Egypt, Nairobi, Kenya and Chad! All of the Threads started out innocent enough...a blonde woman tells me she lives in Van Nuys, or Hermosa, or perhaps Chatsworth...PSYCHE!

I have set up an account here 4 times. The first two times my profile was deleted with no reasoning whatsoever. The third time my account was hacked by my ex-boyfriend, whom I met on that site. The fourth time, I was deleted yet again with no explanation or reasoning. I attempted to contact "support" several different times, in all of these events, with no avail. When my account was hacked, they could have cared less. They wouldn't even delete the profile. Yet, they will delete my legit account for no reasoning whatsoever. This site is full of fake people, perverts, inmates, bots. There really isn't much for security for people's information, profiles or login. I will never use this site again. The one man I met there is a wanted felon for felony stalking in a different state. The site failed to verify any info and so did he. Steer clear of this site. It is shady and unsecure. There are far better sites to be on and there is the real world.

I must confess POF customer service, is a joke. They asked for my credit card, they asked to take a screenshot of my driver's license front and back, said I need to download Google assist, then they said, "WE will give you a 100$ Amazon gift card." Amazon canceled it so fast, I thought my spam folder would burst. I've called 3 times, all I want is an email to reset my password, and my account activated. I was told Robin **, of California and Sam ** of Florida, hacked my account. They responded, we have filed a complaint. Well Hell thanks for nothing. Experian Fraud department 1 888 397 3742. Equifax Fraud department 1 888 766 0008. File A Temporary Fraud Report (ASAP).

Many years ago when it first started out, it was not too bad, and it was FREE, unlike today it's no longer free anymore. Whoever Mark ** is, he don't know the half of what goes on there, they must have paid him off to make his review sound good. Being on the site a couple of times with full profiles and photos, I got squat from the site, except for 16 females who saw me on "Meet Me" and I was notified they all wanted to meet me. Yet I could not look at one of them without Upgrading to $40.00 a month+ and I wasn't going there. Once or twice a week I'd get an email stating I had new Matches...!

There's a huge FRAUD issue here, I received email from user Joy078Page, age of 26, profile that gave me someone’s personal card number info, expiration date and 3 digit ccv number to watch her on vid live sex chat. I was stunned, and amongst the abundance amount of fake profiles, POF does not delete them and uses these fake profiles to advertise out to you to buy their premium account by having these fake profiles say they like your notifications, but you cannot view who they are unless you buy the membership. Aggravations users get having to deal with all this nonsense and POF supports it rather than taking a moral step to temporarily shut down and restructure their dating app. Now, about that card info I received, I screenshot the message with her profile, and I reported it and 12 hours later, message and profile disappeared, but I also messaged that scammer they were reported so more likely the scammer blocked me.

POF.com has absolutely no safeguards and is an ill experience. POF has the audacity to charge for upgrades but no common sense to use a verify system to verify people who sign up?? A simple submit your Drivers License with your photo would do wonders for this site. Instead anyone can sign up with fake photos. There are 100's of Nigerian scammers and men in prison who use this site. POF doesn't care. Not only is this site full of fake profiles, scammers and men in prison but it's full of racists too. Ladies you are better off talking to men in grocery stores or at church or even speed dating. Get off the internet. You will never find anyone "real" and when you do these guys on these internet dating sites don't ever want to meet offline. The type of guys online stay online for years and years until they age out.

I had my POF account for a long time. Recently I reported a guy who kept sending me rude mails. Next thing I know, I can't log into my account. My account got deleted without any explanation! I made a new account with the same info to see I really got kicked off and I was. I was able to make a new account. Then I see the guy who I reported still on POF! I get kicked off and he gets to keep his account? This site has many rude guys so I will be deleting my new account and staying away. POF is a waste of time. You get kicked off for NO REASON!

SPENT A FORTUNE & THEY KICKED ME OFF! POF is really Plenty of Dogs. I followed the rules and they kicked me off the site because a paying member with bi-polar & manic depression had me kicked off. She stalked me and harassed me until I had to get a attorney to send her a Cease & Desist Order. She then contacted POF and lied to them, had my account permanently closed. She posted fake photos and fake information and they backed her. I had 2 women I really wanted to meet and now I have been cut off from them. This site is NOT worth being on for free and if you pay to use it you are a fool.

I was completely happy with POF. I had met somebody we've been talking. Then all the sudden I'm blocked. Will let me update my password. I tried on my laptop computer friends computer...I was blocked. I did nothing one blocked one really crude guy. Why got a new account to find said guy able to find and message then deleted again. What a waste of time and effort. If you are deleting people we should have a right to know why and if it was a petty person who got hurt they should grow up.

Don't start with this company if you might change your mind halfway through. I wrote a tiny bit of profile, then decided not to continue. But POF still send me regular emails promising matches when I have given them almost no information. I have tried the unsubscribe route many times but you just get led in circles with endless questions to persuade you to carry on. How do I make them stop???

Had an account on there a couple of years. I deleted the account after a while but recently set one up again. However, upon setting it up (with confirmation by email) and spending time on the profile, the account mysteriously disappeared. This happened the second time. I've no idea what's going on with that site but the complete lack of any contact details suggests the site is being allowed to die while the owner (Markus Frind) still makes a mint out the poor ** that still use the site and pay for the 'add-ons'. Avoid the site at all costs.

This site is free but certain perks you have to pay for. I have tried this site several times but this last time was the worst. I got approached for sex several times and I believe that one of the guys I turned down had my profile deleted. I was talking to someone I really liked and now I can't contact them or get POF to contact me back in regards to why my profile was deleted. I also can't create a new account. Guess it wasn't meant to be. POF if you see this maybe you should monitor people and complaints better!!!

Plenty of shady things going on on this site POF, fake profiles, soliciting going on, lies, did I mention fake profiles lol etc... Beside fake profiles always being solicited for upgrades trying to get more $ out of you. I honestly think they will label members as upgraded in order to get others to do so stating that you get better results and additional privileges and features non pay members don't get! One of their many scams! There has to be lot better out there. NOT recommended. :-(

I signed up with one of their promos. I then canceled the subscriptions and deleted my account like a week before the promo subscription was over. Six months later I see that POF placed two charges on my card. One for transaction fee and the other was the yearly subscription fee. I quickly contacted POF to return the charges. They were able to return the subscription fee but not the transaction fee. On top of that they have confirmed that my account is still available on file and was not deleted. They informed me that if I wanted the account to be deleted I would need to log back in and follow the steps to delete my account. I have attempted to log in but have not been able to successfully log back in.

This is not my first rodeo with this experience and if something or someone looks too good to be true...follow your instincts. Lots of crazy men on this site. I have had this experience on Match as well, but this time someone contacted me and we texted and spoke on the phone 1-2x wasting about 4 days. I looked at photos and they were too staged. I checked him out on male scammers site. BINGO. POF you are a disgrace - get people's credential, make people show their photo id and charge more and do research. Why is it also fair that men don't pay and women do? I'm DONE and DISGUSTED. I reported this man and had him blocked on POF. Generally they have either never been married, have no children, or lost their wife. They are generally from another country originally and difficult to understand when speaking on the phone. Very smooth this guy was.

This site's a joke overran by bots. If I wanted to be in an active relationship with a robot I'd visit my local sex store. The one plus this site does have going for it is when AI gets to the point where it's self-aware, I will be locked and loaded for robo dating. The owners of this site obviously do not care, I would much rather go back to Match aka the EA of dating sites than have to put up with this STD fueled ** that they call a dating site.

From my experience and research this site is racist against men. I have not seen or heard of any women profiles be deleted. Even in their little rules it's all against men. There is no equal or 50/50. They do not delete the women scammers or bots. They promote them. And if you complain your profile will be deleted, if you're a male like me you can't say nothing or complain. They will not respond. They will just delete you. If you're blocked for no reason they will delete you. And you can never get back on their site, they promote women and don't care about the men, if a women falsely complains or doesn't like you, you will be deleted. They need a good lawsuit against them.

Piece of crap site! Someone hacked my account, used all my info but changed the email and pics. Called support 5 times and kept getting recordings. Office wasn’t open! Closed every day? Very strange, sent 8 emails and still no answer, so basically I’m screwed, some ** is using my info with her pics, lost everything, all my contacts, messages, etc! And they won't do crap to fix it, be careful on this site!!! This site is not legit, no help at all!!!

Keeping it real... I have sent some msgs. I have had problems logging in. Unknown why they would block anyone. Is that not some form of punishment w/o due process? I would say so. I have never engaged anyone so my chances of being blocked are unlikely like many have said they were. I do think that this site is a waste of time.

I was on POF for 6 weeks. During this time... I was catfished by three different men. Each man claimed to be on business trips out of the country... Capetown, Dubai and West London. Two asked for money within 8 days. GET OFF THE SITE... should have done my research as they have a bad reputation.

I'm recently divorced, as of about 8 months ago. I began using POF beginning in the spring, b/c as a super busy career woman that travels frequently, I thought this would be a great way to meet someone. NO! Stay AWAY. The men I met on this site were either felons, and/or just wanted sex. They were also insane. I had to actually block one guy from texting me, & from all of my social media accounts. POF doesn't verify anything about the individuals that use their site. It's mostly felons, & rejects. I've honestly NEVER experienced worst dating experiences more so than when I tried POF.

This is a letter I received from a user on POF. I am a female and this so-called male initiated contact. After a few days, this is the email I get from him. Mind you, he just "happened" to be out of the country for a week in Greece on business. "Glad to hear from you **. Hope you had a good day. You've been on my mind a lot lately since we started communicating. I can't wait till we finally get to meet in person. I've had a very busy week so far with preparing for my trip home this weekend. Done with business here, now rounding up to leave. I'm suppose to be leaving for the States on Thursday night but there's this fee that I have to take care of before leaving (For the shipping of the products of which I Purchased).

On day one they billed me the full 8 month membership when I only wanted a 30 paid membership. Three minutes after receiving the confirmation email of my membership I noticed it said $79.92, 8 month membership. I contacted them. To my surprise there was no phone number only email support. But on my bank statement it does show a phone number 888-345-4454. I emailed support 9/14/18 at 8:36pm EST stating under no circumstances would I want an 8 month membership for something that is unproven and exploratory.

I would receive a lot of "meet me" notifications, which I would come into contact with actual profile at times, and they would not say anything but wants to meet. The few conversations I would have the women would be rude from the beginning conversation for no reason or they would block you as soon as you say hello for no reason. My profile got deleted multiple times. I contacted customer service and on last deletion I was told profile was deleted for suspicious activity when it was a conversation but POF could not deleted the suspicious activity of constant nude or fake profile requests that would flood my notifications.

Online dating is typically a failed endeavor for most people, and POF is a spectacular example of why. The majority of 'women' who contact you are actually bots, fake/spam profiles and cross-dressing transexuals. As far as the real women: the attractive/seemingly desirable few are usually belligerently insecure and jaded against men in general, completely negating the purpose of even having a dating profile. Read their pages and you will often see a ridiculous, unrealistic laundry list of criteria and things they will not put up with, simmering with anti-male sentiment and statements like 'Real men only, no time for losers' or something similarly abrasive and condescending. Good luck getting a response at all, other than them blocking you for no reason.

It’s free, so I didn’t expect much from the women’s profiles (a lot of desperate and shallow) or the site. It is true that you get what you pay for. I couldn’t get in touch with “customer service”. Also, I have had my profile deleted and was not given any notification or a reason. I didn’t even know right away. One woman who I exchanged emails outside of the site told me that my profile and messages were gone. I have read some profiles that said POF will delete profiles. All someone has to do is “report” you for whatever reason which includes standing up for yourself when you don’t agree with the other person.

POF is allowing ** advertisers to create fake profiles. My experience has been frustrating because it’s hard to find a real person. They make hundreds of fake profiles every day, usually of some stunning beauty in a bikini, or maybe even topless. It’s obvious it’s a fake profile. I sent an email to a few of them just to see where things would go, and they respond by telling you to go to their ** site. It’s disgusting.

I created a profile with pictures. I was there for a while and I had someone try to scam me by asking for personal bank information. I denied it. As soon as I complain and reported the account my account disappeared. Numerous tries to contact Plenty of Fish so that I can remove my pictures but the customer service wasn't getting back to me hasn't got back to me. I recreated a different account with no pictures to search if I was still on there and again my account without notice less than an hour disappeared. A company that doesn't reply to resolve a problem to me is running a scam. Since PoF is a foreign from the USA it's definitely running scam to get people's bank information.

I've been with POF now for 4+ years as both an upgraded member and non-upgraded member. In the older days it wasn't too bad of a site once I learned to weed thru all the BS scam artists on here and customer service used to be someone responsive. Those days are completely gone... Now this site has been flooded with young women scammers posing as older women in their 50s and 60s. They post pics of young hotties that are barely dressed. When I contacted a couple of the women they referred me to a website called trustmilf.com so I checked out their web... It was a disgusting ** video site.

When I first signed up for Plenty of Fish (POF) I was very excited. I received over 100 messages and views and requests to meet within a couple of hours! They kept coming for 2 days. Awesome I thought. As I kept reviewing the profiles and messages, everything looked the same and as if it was written by the same person or just a few things were changed, they all looked the same. Oh and about 3/4 of what ended up being at least 200 messages in the end were all decently good looking men which is great but in my age group 50 yrs old, I may not be bad looking but those odds are very unlikely in any scenario.

I used to use POF in my twenties and decided I would give them another try. I had a profile for maybe two weeks that I rarely used. One day, I actually browsed and messaged two guys. Went to log back on the next day and nothing worked. Decided to open a second account after multiple password reset attempts to see if it would say my email was registered to someone else. Second account opened no issues which told me they deleted my account. Second account was opened about two hours and off it went again. Deleted. I officially hate this “free” service. I had absolutely nothing vulgar or against company policy on my profile. They’ll keep the catfish and bots but delete a real person's account for no reason. Grade F for fail in everything. They don’t even send an email to let you know they terminated your account. Never again POF. Keep your sleazy men who all mark very ambitious and have a dead end job.

I was so excited when I joined POF! I was overwhelmed with the number of responses I received! But, that excitement didn't last too long. The quality of the men are poor on this site. I received inboxes from guys who didn't want to post their picture on the dating site, but wanted my personal email address or phone number to send me messages. Thank God I'm smart as I realize most of them are frauds and want to send you personal emails, so they can try and sell you a story to con you out of money. I get the impression that this is a "hookup" site. The men whose profile stated they were decent, turned out to be nothing but con-artists, immature little boys playing games and seeking attention, or bootie calls! Their profile states one thing, but when you began to have an intelligent conversation, they seem to become afraid and will run by not contacting you!

In short, met a person on this site who lists "itself" as male. In reality he/she is a hermaphrodite using a male profile to get females interested. He/she uses several aliases in different sites. This person is still married to its 4th wife. He/she poses as a musician and after speaking to him/her for 6 weeks asked me to marry him/her. I realize this seems farfetched but it's the truth. I have gotten rid of many of my possessions to "live" with this person.

The lack of support, customer service and care of this product is outrageous. A little pride in your site would be nice, just a little. No quality control for who joins. Every day, twice a day I get bombarded with fake likes from sex site members, etc. Reached out to POF customer care, but they don't care, just want your money and customer satisfaction means nothing.

I paid for an upgraded membership three weeks ago. At first, I received a lot of messages. However, that quickly faded away. POF offers 24-hour tokens to "boast" your profile for $1.99/each (or about $60/month on top of paying for membership). In other words, POF promotes your profile if you buy these tokens; otherwise, it is hidden. When I asked POF about this marketing scheme, it did not respond. Numerous users sought to "pimp" me; requesting I contact someone not on POF, providing their email/phone number.

I've been on POF for less than a week and have met a person that is real. So far all is good, will see how things progress. We first sent 4-5 emails back and forth, then I ask if we could meet and she stated that it sounded nice and I told her of a place not far from me and we have agreed to meet there.

Very poor customer service. They don't vet the profiles and they allow criminals, wife beaters and abusers to become members. The man posing as single and successful are actually married and financially broke.

I had been a long time member of POF & it used to be about the best free dating site out there. Not anymore. There has been a massive influx of scam profiles, some even showing images of hardcore ** & they continue to post these profiles rather than previewing them BEFORE they go live. Apparently, the only thing that will take them down is a member complaint, after they have had time to scam someone. They keep showing up over & over & over again! I got sick of it, sent several emails to "Markus" with a list of urls of obvious scam profiles telling him he needs to take some of the money he got from the Match buy out ($575 million in cash, by the way) & start policing these scam profiles BEFORE they go live.

They need to get control over all the spam. Good luck finding any real accounts on there. Spam and sex solicitation is about all you will get. You will not find anyone, because by then you will be too frustrated about going through all the spam and bs accounts.

My wife and I are separated and divorcing, she placed a profile on POF and from what I understand has been finding guys online. This past week I got a strange phone call from one of those guys. It was a very scary call, in which the guy named David found my contact information and proceeded to tell me that he planned to meet her for a date and ** the ** out of her. I confronted my ex with the information but it appears that she doesn't want to believe me. Most alarming to me was his knowledge of my family, children's names, school addresses, etc. Clearly this guy wasn't very stable and my ex is totally clueless about the type of men that don't care less about woman. I'm waiting for the day I get a phone call telling me that my ex is in the morgue.

I have read that people are finding games and boys on POF. Well duh it's a dating website. You have to filter through the garbage. I met a wonderful man on POF back in 2013. We chatted and met in person. We hit it off real well. We got married towards end of 2014 and have been together since.

I signed up on Plenty of Fish with the best intentions on meeting my other half, I even paid $40 Canadian for the two months upgrade. The first day I was on, I started to get contacted from fake profiles, sex invites, bots everywhere, very attractive and sensual women asking for my email to start a video call. I felt harassed and molested. I reached out to POF to let them know about how disturbed I was, I also asked for a refund. They didn't contact me back. I'm very disappointed. This site has to face all the allegations and to do something about it. They are stealing and nobody has done nothing.

Sad I can't go lower than one star. It seems that a large number of women's profiles are totally fake. The cut and paste pictures are a joke. "Fine dining and world travel" tells me all they are looking for is a fat bank account. The one date I did have the woman talked on her cellphone the entire time we were suppose to be having dinner. I excused myself, paid the bill and left her there still on the phone. Isn't there a decent woman (and I do not mean a Walmart queen) who is seriously interested in having a relationship? So tired of the fakes and outright frauds. It would be nice to meet a lady who has most of her original teeth and does not cut her hair with a bowl on her head. Yes, I get interest from those. I would never recommend this site to anyone.

It is a free dating site, and one expects so many jerks and cons...but I was getting cons like crazy (they would have stated on their profiles they were from the province, we start to text...their # is from the USA, they all have wives that died). Even the men who stated they want relationships...friends with benefits. People who are seriously looking for someone are getting slammed by this, it's hard to look for someone when after a while you don't believe anyone...how can you.

This site when it first came out was used by a lot of people. It was good for dating and hookups. But then things changed and the admins started to ban any accounts that were sexual. Now it's dead and full of bots. 90% sure half the people there are fake. Just make it look like the site's alive.

I went on this site less than 1 day. When I attempted to respond to people, it would say, "no internet connection" - which was garbage. I'm always connected to wifi. I couldn't see anything, couldn't write anything, couldn't read or respond. So I attempted to cancel my account. All of a sudden, I was off the site, with no way of logging back in. All PW and emails I have no longer work. I went to ask for a PW reset, it tells me the reset link was sent, but nothing came through. I knew I wasn't kicked out, because I continued to get messages but couldn't open the app!

Stay away from POF. It will freeze on you, lag for hours at a time, log you out of your profile all the time, and if you complain to them about it directly, they'll boot you off of their site for asking to fix the problem. Haha they're a joke of a website. They're worse than being cheap!

I found it to be a waste of money keep getting matched up with people from other states and I see on this forum a lot of men are complaining about the woman being too picky. Well that's not complain about the men. Most of them don't want anything serious. It's like Craigslist on the down low. I got a lot of guys to just want to have sex and I clearly say in my statement I want something serious. At least try for something serious. I got a lot of men that told me I was too fat which is fine. He like what you like but you really don't need to tell me that. Just don't reply to my flirt. The first response that I got was, "Hey beautiful want to have sex?" I've tried several different dating sites and I've only gotten proposition. No one asked me for a date. A real date. I'm not blaming Plenty of Fish but they at least could have better filters.

I would give POF no stars if I could. I will never ever use POF again. Very displeased on many levels. Felt mislead in buying a membership to use "premium features" definitely not worth upgrading. At the end of my membership I went to the account settings to make sure that the renewal box was not checked. However, they renewed anyway and it took some searching before I found a way to contact and ask them to give me a refund. I was waiting for a reply and found a response, that ended up in my spam folder. Was told that my "membership" was not refundable. Very unethical business practices.

I've been on this site for about a month. Suddenly out of nowhere, last night I had trouble logging in. The site kept saying my username or password were incorrect (they're NOT). I clicked the "forgot password" link and was told I'd receive an email to reset my password. I never got it - was not in any Spam/Junk folder. I tried clearing my cache/cookies, didn't make a difference. Someone suggested turning off your VPN/proxy (I'm using my desktop), but that didn't work either. I found a customer service email address, sent them my complaint, and again never heard back.

Read this entire review so you know the WARNING SIGNS to look for. My experience with POF was everyone that I communicated with was nothing but a scammer. I worry that human trafficking might be part of this. One guy's profile is looking for females who want to fly out on weekend to get away. Do not fall for it. If you do then don't think you will be coming back. Better say goodbye to your family. Just Google what human traffickers get per head. In my opinion I can say that I believe POF is up for reasons other than a dating site. Every single person on this site has the same MO. Every one of them did the same thing to me.

I "met" two men from this website and started corresponding with them. Gave them my e-mail and was thinking that maybe one of them would be really the one. They were both away in Europe on business, one in Greece, one in France. Anyway, before they could come back to Colorado, one needed $8000 and the other one needed $1000 for some business related issue. I said, "Absolutely not!" I reported them to POF, and then immediately unsubscribed.

POF is just not dealing with the people trying to scam money from you. One guy posed as a military guy who wanted my bank info. Reported him. Then a guy who wanted me to send him Steam credit cards. Reported him. He had me contact him on WhatsApp. The image is the dialog of his scamming and me calling him out. Reporting is useless. They just make new accounts and start all over again. Bye POF.

* * * Warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!! * * * Do not use this website or any others operated by Match Group, Inc.!!! This company has, and continues to be, the subject of countless class action lawsuits in the U.S., Canada, and all over Europe. They have settled a shocking amount of lawsuits for committing fraud (I.E., Fake profiles, fake messages, spam bots, fraudulent billing practices, lying about cancelling memberships, lying to consumers, etc.).

Let's start with I am not computer literate. Found hard to navigate site, was only on it a few days, then for no good reason they dropped me... couldn't sign on, using correct name and password, but they kept saying wrong password or user name. No place to call for help, just kept going in circles! Tried to reset a dozen times, no luck. Called my ISP for help, finally found e-mail in my spam folder saying my membership (I had Upgraded) was in process of being refunded, thank God, but I have NO IDEA WHY! I didn't use any vulgar language, sexual things, nothing I said that was prohibited in their rules that would get me kicked off.

This site should have their license revoked. They are a scam. They pressure you into buying an upgraded account and as soon as you do, miraculously you start getting SEVERAL responses from women and even a couple of hours of conversation with them. What's funny is that the stats tell you someone just viewed you but when you look at the person's profile who claim they viewed you IT SHOWS THAT THEY NEVER VIEWED YOU! During this phase it tells you that your profile is on fire. After the couple of hours are over, no more communication and the profile pics change. I've had much better luck on MATCH.COM and that's where I'm going back. POF HELP CENTER is A SCAM!!!

POF seems to have very strange priorities. They're very obsessed with blocking out any form of sexuality, o much so that they edited a guy's profile because he mentioned bartending and cocktails, which they turned into **. Yet, they don't seem to have good control over their own coding and settings. Despite a setting saying I only want to be contacted by local people, I keep getting messages from people in other parts of the country. Unless I slept through a bunch of earthquakes, Florida and California definitely aren't within the 75 mile limit on my contact filters. Even though they obsess over **, there are still plenty of ** pictures. Clearly, they don't have their act together. E for effort, though... and P for prude, too.

When you sign up for the free version, you will be barraged with emails informing you that this one and that one wants to meet you, viewed your profile, faved you, etc. They will tell you a user's specific name as well... but then you cannot look up the user by the name. But then, to see who the people are that faved, want to meet, viewed ya, etc, POF will tell you that it is required to buy a membership. I ain't losing my mind, I bought a membership and then suddenly, there were no one viewed me, no who wants to meet me people, no one faved me, etc.

POF.com was a stable website and has fast good results. I like the layout of the website. It looked smooth and I was able to navigate it easily. I like the variety of people and the overall ease of it. I like the name and it has plenty of fish. It’s charmed. The people was honest. I also liked the members and everyone was very friendly except a few bad eggs lol. Profile customization wasn’t that very good at all but it was good in some areas. Criteria was also lacking. However, there wasn’t a mobile app for my device so I never really used it. Some of the women are rude. The main thing I dislike is the no app for Amazon as that’s a real let down.

POF is very particular in question and very easy to customize. Finds very specific matches. The questions are in depth and meaningful when it comes to find someone you are compatible with. I usually have common matches on this site more than other platforms. Every user seems to be legit. Most dating sites have mostly fake users. I enjoy the way POF is currently set up. But for some the name including fish is offputting.

I wish I knew how they matched. It was hard to find women who are my type. I dont think the chemistry test was true to who I was. The profile customization is good, could be better. While POF is ok, I like being able to block unwanted people. I also like that I could put what my personality is. I like being able to list my interest. Though these could be dealt with better. Other things I like are based on people using the app and less about the app itself. All in all, the site looks easy to use.

All I saw was pic's of weed instead of photos. And all there is, is criminals like ex-cons on that site. I know personally that there are a lot of ex-cons cause when I would talk on the phone each guy would say he just got out of jail. I meet a guy that only had old pictures of himself on his profile. When I went to meet him he looked like he was way older than those pictures. I told him I wouldn't date him and I left. I am just going to try other dating sites. NEVER USE PLENTY OF FISH. It's GARBAGE!

My experience with POF.com was ok. Seems to me like it is more for people to hook up or for sexual experiences. I would like dating sites that filter out sexual content because thats just not what Im looking for when Im looking for a date with someone. I did not want to give it another go. It wasnt that great of an experience for me as a person. It was just a bad site all around. Definitely will not give it another go in this lifetime.

There was nothing wrong with POF.com but, most of the men on there were middle aged ** men. Now, I don't have a problem with middle aged ** men, they are not my type at all. If I wanted a sugar daddy, then I would go to a sugar daddy website. All in all, none of the men peaked my interest, so it was a total waste of time for me. I don't think I'll be doing that again. Not now. Not ever.

My overall experience with POF has been completely terrible, most guys just want to hook up, and even when I find someone who can possibly be my good match, he completely ghosts me. I've been on this site for over a year and have found NO ONE. Just time wasters. Also, I dislike that the guys just want to meet and get some from you, the fact you have to pay REAL LIFE MONEY just to be noticed more by potential suitors, when all those suitors is just wanting one thing in general. I also dislike how when you send a message, it completely exits you out, and most of the time you wont even get a notification. Lastly, I dislike the errors they have or when the site messes up, they really need to fix their things.

POF was an interesting dating site that I used since it really narrows down the choices of people and I like that some of them find people that you have things in common with. It makes it easier to have conversations or at the very least conversation starters. Also I like that you can see so much information about somebody and review them before you send them a message. But I don't like that some people can be absolutely profane and horrible but not be punished or have their accounts removed. I also hate the feature that lets random members send pictures of themselves to you since they send really perverse, disgusting pictures and then I end up banning 30-40 people in less than 48 hours.

Plenty of Fakes: This site was not worth my money, so many women were scam artists, met one who begged for pictures, then complained! I was completely clothed! (Found out she was from Philippines)! She was desperate to get married but I didn't want her, too scary, Guys, not worth the time, all they want is pictures and play games! All the women want is to pull up your pants!

I love the diversity in people on the site, how friendly everyone is, how easy to use, etc. I do enjoy how the site itself is set up. I love the customization the site allows on profiles. However, I dislike the overly long application process and how many fake accounts there are. Despite not having as many fake accounts as other dating sites it still has quite a few and I do believe that issue can be fixed. The site and app itself times out on my phone way faster than it really should which made registering a pain. Overall pretty positive experience with Plenty Of Fish. I have found it easy to find and see many potential matches. Matches were all within my area.
