He use this dating app try to cheat women go to hotel. He is 160 short. 48years old. Walk just like duck. One leg look like longer than another leg. Big stomach. Talk balabala. IT job. Live Toronto. Always wear dark sunglasses cover his wrinkles eye. He will change another account cheat more women. Everyone protect yourself. Don't fall for his tricks.

Have used match before, and thought I would try POF. In 2 days i received 4 scammers; I am a guy looking to meet other guys and more than once did the app insist on me looking at a woman's profile... from 300km away at that. I had selected the 75km radius, and checked all the boxes for dude seeking dude. Using km for an American user is a little disingenuous as well, I'm all about the metric system, this is not the place. I also received messages from women, to whom I had to explain, no not interested... but yet when I attempted to message a guy, the app would not allow it based on his criteria? Wtf? The few text conversations I ha with seemingly actual guys came to no good end. I don't think the paradigm of 'increasing your profile's popularity' has anything to do with actually finding somebody.
One week: 4 scammers, 2 wrong gender, 2 flakes, 2 guys peaceably parted ways with because we clearly weren't a match... but I was 'liked' by 69 other... user profiles, hey maybe they were people, maybe they weren't.

Frustrating. Waste of time, effort.

This guy cheat women. Everyone be careful. He is big lie. Protect yourself. Don't trust what he said. He is old and short. Cheat women. He will change another account cheat women. Everyone be careful.

Guys, first quick sign of scammer is when yu look at where they live- if it's local, keep moving!

Do not use POF. They will delete your profile after you've paid for no reason. I contacted a lawyer to pursue a class action suit. This has happened to me over 2 years and many more people. If this is the case, please contact me. *******@gmail.com

I admit I've been on and off POF for over a decade. Yes, I have been in committed relationships during that time and was engaged at one time. She unfortunately died. Several years ago, everything on POF was free. You could search for who exactly you were looking for. Get togethers were held weekly and so me times more often. Scores of people came to these events. Then charges started. If you wanted to see a full profile you had to pay. Discussion boards which offered advice and critism of POF was taken away. The ability to hold gatherings went away. You could no love Niger tell how long it had been since someone was on unless you paid. People fled the site. If you're going to pay then pay for a better site.

Plenty of Fish used to be a good website, but it now has become an environment that supports sex trafficking, pimping, prostitution, child porn, and fraud. Victims of human sex trafficking are all over the website sending users advertisements for web cam signups, meetups for sex in exchange for money, soliciting child sex, and more. I don't understand why the FBI has not shut POF down, but people need to be made aware that the owner of POF has been complicit in rape culture and human sex trafficking by allowing such behavior on the website with minimal effort to weed them out. There simply is not enough being done to protect consumers and to save child and adult female victims. Craigslist removed its personals while the FBI took down Backpage. It is time for Plenty of Fish to be taken down next.

I've noticed that the legitimate profiles on this site are blocked by the site, and there is a pop-up message stating that those men only accept messages from paying members.

I, personally, know some of those men, and they told me that they did not authorize such pop-up message on their profile. They said they saw the same message on my profile, which I did not authorize.

The only men that are available to receive messages, are the ones with a fake from profiles of men who live overseas.

Based on that information, some of us are wondering if POF is a legitimate dating site.

In viewing POF listings for the Southern California area (LA, SD, Santa Barbara, etc.) I have noted a lot of listings for women in the 55 to 70 y. O. age range that have been compromised by hackers. That is, photos of women in the 20's attached to profiles of women who are much older. And please note - these are NOT younger versions of the older women. They are the only photos posted. If you respond to it, you will be harassed by the respondent.

Apparently POF cannot be bothered to police their site, as this is rampant.

I posed a simple question to POF on how to block someone as the directions on line do not show on my desktop computer. I was told to do something, but was not told how to do it. This question has gone to 4-5 POF team members who again tell me what to do, but not how to do it. Send us a screen shot they say. How do I send a screen shot. Use your phone and take a picture. My landline does not have a camera in it. And, I do not have a cell phone as I have no use for one. Being on a fixed budget, I do not need the added expense of a cell phone when I am home all the time. All messages have been direct to my email and not through the POF site. And, because I am upset at them through direct emails, they have blocked me on the POF site from sending messages to others on the POF site. Nothing derogatory was said or conveyed. But because they have the control button, then have censored me. Just such a lack of professionalism from POF.

Sadly the site is now being bombarded by fakes and scammers, It's got worse since the Covid-19 pandemic started. Also, there are reports from returning genuine members that they've had profiles hijacked, And this seems to be true... As the profile wording seems normal (plenty of effort put in) but then has photo's of some 20 year old girl when the genuine person was 50 years old. I've seen so many say... "Back again as profile was hijacked"... There are also 1000's of new profiles where the persons photo's have been copied from Russian dating sites. My advice to POF... Step up your game before your site becomes as bad as some of the other well known awful sites that are 80% full of fake profiles and devious scammers.
Devious as in... They are copying a photo... And are then rotating it so the person is looking the opposite direction... This is to fool. Google image search. So they can't be caught out... Luckily, YANDEX image search is quite clever and still brings up the image no matter which way it's facing.

The features of the website have drastically declined since it was sold to Match Group. Now you can't even delete messages out of your sent box. Can only delete messages from your inbox so if you send message that is never answered that sent message will have to remain in your sent box forever. The customer service sucks as they are not able to understand or address this problem. Also there is no screening of new profiles so I find a lot of fake profiles of women saying they're in their sixties or seventies with pictures of women who are no more than 35 years old just looking to find foolish older men to scam. If you aren't expecting much from this website and careful then it can't hurt to try it

Had credit card issues with them, was asked for my credit card information to verify my age for video chat approval, it's part of their site, then money went missing from my credit card

I had been a member of this site for several months. It turned out to be a huge mistake! The site is very clunky and outdated. The selection of women there is god awful. It looks like most of them have been shaken out of some trailer. Very low class of women. And the ones that are attractive are just about all fakes, either wanting money or for you to visit another site. I busted 3 or 4 of them because I got tired of their scams. And then my account was hacked, and I couldn't access it for 3 or 4 days. When I finally got it back, someone had changed it all around, had removed my pics and said I was in Australia of all places! No apologies from POF for letting that happen. My hunch is one of the ladies I busted knew a hacker who hacked my account. Just a hunch tho. But the takeaway is the security on the site is just crap. Well, after a couple of hours I got my site back up with a much stronger password. And we were rolling along, and then late last week, I couldn't access my site AGAIN, and after 3 or 4 days and several inquiries from me, they said my account had been terminated! What the F? Why? They said for privacy reasons they couldn't disclose why they terminated my account, which is of course complete and total bull$#*!! My hunch is my account had been hacked AGAIN, and some SOB did some mischief. So, why weren't they after that person instead of blaming me? And of course, no mention of funds coming back to me for the unused portion of my membership. What a scam! Listen, we all would like to find our dearly beloved, but this is MOST DEFINITELY NOT the place to do it. If you're thinking about it, don't! It will be a total and complete waste of your time and money!

This site lets known and convicted rapists have accounts. When making this fact known to the people that operate pof, they ignored my email. Stay away!

I mistakely USED A SEXUAL! TERM. An old man that I rejected and wouldnt talk with reported me to plenty of fish. Im will to replace the SEXUAL word but pof is ridge! And unbending nor open to correct errors.SO BEWARE! VERY AWARE OF YOUR WORDS or just do not use pof this is my suggestion there other sites more open.

Do NOT bother with this site. It has got worse and worse over the years and has now hit rock bottom.

I've had on several occasions my picture of my car declined but as ive just seen tonight on a womens profile that for some reason she has been allowed to have a picture of her car on it, ive tried several times but every occasion it was deleted so it seems women get more privileges and can do more on their profiles to men to men on this site!

This is a fake person, that will tell you they love you, you're their soul mate, etc... then beg for money to pay medical bills, rent, etc...

I'll write a review on here as the big named review site is full of fake reviews being pumped out every few minutes which has seen its rating go from poor to great in a few months and can't be trusted

I love how the women are saying Covid made them join the site as though in real life they get loads of offers from men. You look at them and they are overweight with numerous children and lack the ability to even fill out their profile "just ask" and can't even talk in normal sentences

If on the rare chance you find someone who appears decent it will soon fail as they lack basic conversational skills to chat properly even though they say " must have great banter "

The whole world is in lockdown and I can only imagine how many desperate men are messaging these creatures giving them validation into thinking they're all great catches when in fact you wouldn't look at any of them twice in the real world
