I've been locked out of my account 2 times by Plenty of Fish-1st they let my account be hacked and closed me down with zero notice, now with a 2nd account I don't receive mail! This POF company is not even in the USA (somewhere in Europe) and has no customer service telephone number, the one listed are Pakastani's who laugh at you because they hacked your account-Don't waste your time!
I created a profile a week ago and my account was deleted with no explanation two days ago. I've tried to contact their PR department (the only contact listed under "Contact Us") as well as "*******@pof.com" (after an online search) and have not heard back. I never violated any of the terms, no nudity, no inappropriate behavior, nothing rude or inflammatory, nothing. In fact, I was emailed something sexually inappropriate and never responded, but that person was able to keep their profile, AND I was emailed something bizarre that only said "U are bad :(" from someone I hadn't messaged prior...
I wonder if whoever that was didn't like my profile for some unknown reason and hit "block user" so POF just deleted my account. It doesn't make sense either way.
I'd give half a star if I could.
This site's PR department is full of $#*!. POF seriously can't be the leading dating site with all these problems. If they spent more time fixing their problems rather than their image, it would be a better site. I can't stress enough how frustrated I am with them.
If you have any self respect at all, stay away from Plenty of Fish.
Nevermind the fact the site is riddled with scammers trying to get your money.
Even if you find a date and think He/She might be a good one, and you'll find some attractive men and women on there.
There's only one major problem, they're all self absorbed, egotistical, narcissistic $#*!s.
Every woman I've ever dated from that site has some sort of serious mental health issue.
Ranging from abusive past relationships, having been raped or like I said, they're just too into themselves to care about anyone else.
Plenty of Fish itself used to be free back when it first started, and wasn't a bad option.
But has since degraded into a hookup site for lonely or cheating men and women.
Not only that, but they now want to charge you to use basic features lsuch as the like feature and view me feature.
All a cash grab and a bad way to go for your mental health if you care about yourself.
Learn how to meet and date men and women the old fashioned way. The internet has become a trove of trolls and miscreants.
Ear plenty of fish, my wife formerly MARY CHANCIE now MARY ALLEN and I STEPHEN ALLEN would like to thank your site for giving us the Avenue to meet. We met in April 2013 on your site. We were married on MAY 4TH 2015. We would love to send you a wedding photo.
At first I was skeptical to join this site but I met my husband here and can't complain eventhough I wasn't really active in the site but I messaged him and we were together for 2 years and 6 months married
Anyone talking to breathiffreshair100 he is a fake, the photos he has used are of a famous American baseball player. Stay clear as there is something dodgy about him
The "trashy" sites are getting to be more upfront and honest with issues like complaints about "members IM" and canceling account... you would not believe the obfuscation and the runaround! I don't think their "customer service" really exists. Just try to get something other than a robotic response that tells you nothing... keep away! If you get too mad or frustrated they will purposely send you a window that asks if you wan't to DELETE ACCOUNT AS OPPOSSED TO CANCEL SO THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU AT ALL.(as stated by them). If you delete... we wil not let you back in EVER!
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.
Canceled after 2 months and they kept charging my account. Woman on phone got highly. Do not use these people. Charged another 5 months. Will not refund my money
I was sick of getting old ladies and l am 56 but I date women in the 30s all I got was grandma 60 70 the settings I put in changed back to 60 70 I was corespondng with a 32 year old and I get lectures about l was too old for this one yet I will probably take her out soon, just because I can get on with younger woman who is this site to tell me I can't then to make it worse I had no access to the site and they charged me for the up grade when I was off the site and could not get back on to stop it blatant thieves. If they were in this country they would have been blown up by now utter bull $#*! where do they get the old ladies pictures from the death notices in the newspaper I t recon. Dont touch it with a 20 ft pole.
My subscription was scheduled to end on July 1. I put a note on my calendar to cancel it on July 1. When I woke up that morning, I was already billed $38.40 for a service I WILL NEVER USE. POF has ripped me off and won't refund my money. NEVER, EVER deal with this company. These people will steal your money then claim that they NEVER GIVE MONEY BACK!
I am a great dad, I have a daughter. I am very Kind, loving, caring, romantic, hard working, Have a good sense of Humor, Easy Outgoing, Passionate, Honest, Responsible, down to earth, full of life, free spirited. I Love To Smile and never get Angry. I am creative and I never Play Mind Games. I love romantic nights but missing that part for quite some time now, food, pretty much in that order. Being able to laugh is one of the best ways to cope with life's rough patches, and it doesn't hurt during the good times either! An adventurous spirit motivates me to meet the challenges of being what and who I am today which drives me to seek out new experiences through travel, sight seeing and generally having fun. I Love cooking and think am good at it. Traveling, swimming, candlelight dinners, movies, walking on the beach, watching sunsets, Camping, reading and meeting New People, Dancing and listening to all kinds of Music... I love sports, the outdoors and dinning at great restuarants. I can be your best friend with family values and a cheerful outlook on life with a positive attitude. Content with my work. I live a healthy lifestyle, just ask around. I usually let you decide which it will be... I'm a good friend, listener, loyal, hard worker, brutally honest. Expressing my true feelings and I don't judge the action of people.
I have experienced several men that lie and womanize Roccotheitalian…. He used me he lied numerous times he has he wants marriage HE DOES NOT it's all a way to manipulate women I have told you what these men have done they still have an account that is open and doing it to others …. How dare POF not believe the female getting ready to notify someone from ME TOO! Do something about these men
So here is a review from a woman: there are some decent men on the site. But too many are looking for a FWB. Too many expect women to get in a relationship with them instantly, without even seeing if a friendship is possible. And the audacity of separated or partnered men to be on a dating site saying they want a relationship is laughable. There are men on the site, who can't even write a simple sentence, but think that they will have something wonderful and intelligent to say to women with college and university degrees. And as far as looks, again, there are some decent, attractive ones. However, there are a whole lot of men on the site, who need some serious help in presenting themselves attractively. These men are not groomed. Some look like they are related to Santa Claus. Some have not bought any new clothes in a decade. Some wear tee shirts and/or shorts in every picture (I hate the sleeveless tee shirts). Some don't wear any shirts. Nasty things! Some dress like pimps. Some are just down right, low down, trashy looking. A woman interacting with some of these men will experience doubled standards and sexism.
$#*!ing bull$#*!! They RIPPED me off! Paid for a year then they deleted my account without reason or refund for what I paid for. Absolute $#*! and I hope the guy who made it and whoever mods it DIES! $#*! GOOFS! THEY SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL!
I have been happily using for a few years. Now all of a sudden my password is wrong? When i try to reset my email naddy doesnt exist on there system. How to contact help? Well you can't ffs
Every time I sign up I get kicked out what a crock of s*** this is I highly recommend not joining this date site it's the worst nightmare I've ever been through I've only actually been on it maybe a month before it kicks me off most of the time within 10 minutes of signing on boom I'm kicked off immediately what a piece of s*** this site is
I recently signed up to POF and to verify my age they wanted acc number, that was no fee to be charged. They tried to bill my card, do not give them your card information.
The females on pof are a joke. They're all bored sociopaths looking for a fresh game to play, nothing more. They are fat, smell bad, are hideously ugly, and have the I. Q. of a lawn weed.
I dated a few guys on this website, including my ex-boyfriend. Some of the guys were okay, others not so much. I wanted a guy with at least a college degree and some ambition, but only one guy I dated from the site had a degree. And the one who did have a college degree was creepy, and clearly had no social skills. Another guy got drunk on our first date, so I put him in a cab and sent him home. My ex-boyfriend had no education and zero ambition, and we broke up after dating for quite awhile. (It was my fault, I thought he would change but he never did, despite his family pushing him to better himself.) He wasn't a bad guy, but he was just wrong for me in every way.
This past year, after having been single for awhile, I decided to give this another shot. I think the website is actually worse than it was several years ago. I set up my filters so that only men who live in my area could message me- well, I'm getting messages from men in other states and even other countries? WTF! The guys who message me are pretty much all the same type of guy you would find on any website- lots of clearly fake profiles that vanish after one or two messages. Also, guys trolling for their next hook-up. One guy that I wasn't attracted to actually cursed me out for not messaging him back. Nice, right? Like they say, you get what you pay for. Will be deleting soon.
Answer: Oh yes, they want you to upgrade and pay! But when you pay you will see these profiles who you liked or who liked you disappear. They were nothing but bait-and-switch. You gain nothing when you pay, it's the silliest way to spend money. Are you looking for hook up or relationship? I wanted a relationship and I was really frustrated by Pof. Eventually I found what I was looking for on https://j4l.com/402007 But I've lost nearly a year on Pof. Not to mention emotional drain and money!
Answer: I just deactivated my account. This site is a sewer. Do not pay anything for this site or any site. I searched for free on other site( even paid ones you can search for free) and I saw the same guys on most of the other sites as well. I'm gonna grow old alone unless luck steps in and maybe I'll meet my guy IRL.
Answer: Yes it is if it's anything like my phone having the app sometimes shows that you're online all the time
Answer: Delete AND contact the company. If you know who took your pictures be sure to include the name on the profile that your pictures were used on, so they can deal with that person. Once you have deleted your profile, everything is GONE. I have never had anybody use my pictures on any other sites. I'm no great beauty, that could be the reason, Still, once your profile is deleted, everything is gone.
Answer: You cannot do it from the mobile site. You need to use your search, example safari and look up pof desktop version and go to the help in the top left. It will walk you thru it, if I remember correctly. Good luck
Answer: First, write to POF and explain. Now, and I mean NOW call up your credit card company and tell them what happened. I am sure POF will not contact you. Make sure to use the word "unacceptable" when describing the consumer service to the CC company about POF. Keep all emails too. Please keep me posted. Thanks Ann B.
Answer: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING SITE! Any good you hear from or about it... DUH ITS THE SCAMMERS THAT WORK FOR EM. I been booted so many times due to unpopularity cuz i wont date trash so i get booted they keep your money they are garbage
Answer: Fake doesn't really describe them... more like downright liars!
Answer: Golden rule #1: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you Golden rule #2: Anything that sounds to good to be true, is not. Golden rule #3: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Answer: POF is not free at all, you have to upgrade; become a paying member to be able to do anything interesting.
