Full of fake profiles. Complete rip off!

published

Biggest waste of money! Every single message I received was from fake profiles asking me to click links, sign up to webcams, ect. Complained and they refused to refund monies.

Scam!

published

Why, after spending an hour completing a profile, did I get bumped off the site and unable to log in. Repeated requests to reset my passwords have not fixed the problem.

Rubbish

published

I’ve had 3 scammers send me messages on POF they have similar MO’s very attractive not many pictures and want you to move to another site to communicate ie email, Facebook. But ask them some standard questions and they’ll make all sorts of excuses or delays to answer!
Example
Q:Where do you live?
A: let’s talk more about yourself!
Really don’t waste your time!
The admins really need to work on cleaning up this site

Absolutely full of scammers!!

published

The scammers are using local suburbs and can even tell you the name of a street! One gave me the name of a street that has no houses on it! If you're serious about finding someone NOT JOIN THIS SITE.

Waste of energy and time

published

Been on this site on and off for about a year, message people and get no response and when you do they just cut you off and you never hear from them again. Most of the profiles are fake and what's with the meet me feature it just shows you women that live in another state really going to travel to 500kms to go on a date, don't waste your time and money you would be better off without it.

It was a waste of money to subscribe and a waste of time to use this service

published

I just could not believe what happened once I upgraded my account by paying for my subscription:
The number of responses actually dropped, and contacts from prostitutes and scammers went way up.
I was so frustrated I wanted out after a couple of days but, customer service refused to accept my request.
I was stuck with this useless subscription for 3 whole months. I am glad it is going to be over in a week.
Never again. No POF for me, thank you.
This site was quite good when it was totally free, 10 years ago. The company was very different then.
I recommend avoiding POF and finding a better, cleaner, more effective site to find a partner.

I've asked for my password to reset 11-15 times- no emails received- or in spam- My account has been compromised for the 2nd time- Im annoyed - that i will never be able to access my contacts or message history- As a paid member-again - This is totally unacceptable- again- This needs to be rectified asap- 37000 plus are having the same problem- Whats going on POF- Terrible service- even worse responding time- Last time it 4 days now I'm passed 5 days- so what is going on- POF Replied 5 days later- with a reimbursement- Guess i will never have contact now with the friends i made - Whatever you do don't use POF- appalling at least

Beware of scammers

published

Women really need to beware of the scammers on this site. False profiles who either want money or want to use your bank account to transfer money into. Unfortunately I was persuaded to communicate on what's app so abusive conversation was not recorded on POF so cannot block this user to protect myself. He is going under the profile name Snak3 (47) and claims to live in Buderim Qld using the name Martin Cross. They certainly come across as well educated but thankfully when stories started to sound suspicious I backed away. I am one of the lucky ones thankfully.

Receive POF-sent email messages for someone wanting to meet me. Try and retrieve, POF asks me to pay membership first.

published

The claim they are free and effective.
My experiences are raw and ready and am wondering how they can claim to be free if you are not allowed to view the messages that they claim are waiting for you if you log in. When you do login, you are told of the memberships on offer.

However, POF indicate nothing about allowing you to freely receive and send messages. I perceive even with taking out membership POF will to "drip feed" 1 per day that is if they can't find a way around it.

I am looking for an ordinary man around my age, asking and offering nothing untoward or unethical.

This platform is designed for clients to never find a partner.

published

This dating site never wants its customers to actually find love. Because then they will leave the site. The creator of this site constantly sends spam emails to you asking for you to buy the premium service. Suggesting that with premium you will have a much higher chance of finding someone. They are very slow to delete spam account that try and make you go to payed live cam show sites. Years of disappointment with Plenty of Fish.

Disgusting site with owners of site playing Hypercritical Moral Police!

published

The site is full of non stop sleaze, inappropriate behaviour, photos and comments from woman, who are nasty, rude and aggressive, yet as soon as a Male mentions the word 'breasts' he is kicked off the site. Another company that thinks because they own this crappy site they can be Moral Police to Society. Your site is CRAP!!!! Go elsewhere people. Username was Triumph1100

It is rather a scam site than a dating site.

published

It's not even worth a star. This site should be taken to fair-trading. It is as if the whole thing is a sham. There's plenty of profiles, they seem to be genuine but actually they are not. The messages never goes through if it ever did you would wonder why would only peeps who are polite are trying to sign you up for strip show or some naughty chat. Absolutely disgraceful.
Making money out of people who are genuinely looking to connect with another human. Taking the subscription money but actually providing no service for it. Who knows how many people are ripped off by these crap of crooks. Don't sign up absolute waste of time.

Absolute rubbish - don’t waste your time.

published

I was drawn to this platform due to PoF stating that messages were sent when they were not, in fact they were simply sent into the ether and deleted. I wasted hours of time trying to reconnect for this reason.
I was fool enough to pay to go premium, big mistake. Absolute rubbish site.
Don’t waste of effort or any time on this site, there are so many failings that there are too many to list. One star is one too many.

Shameful Sham.

published

Looks good to start with. Dozens of profiles to view but when you try to contact someone it's impossible. the constant reply is "This person only responds to certain users" and there is NO WAY you can become one of those users. What a completely useless thing to have on a dating site. Who ever thought it up at POF HQ is an idiot. Why have a dating site when you can't contact each other? Why not just have a good honest site? POF would make more money that way surly. I thought I was an intelligent mature man but nope, got duped by this shameful sham.

If I pay for a membership how will it show up on my company credit card

Since you are misusing your company card, instead of your own card, this makes you a thief.
Your only asking this because you want to be able to try and get away with stealing the money, by trying to hide it in your company account as an expense. Personally, I hope your boss meets you down a dark alley and breaks your nose.

TPT
TPT

You never said the company was actually yours.

Why are you hiding this from YOUR DAUGHTER?????

Why is your daughter doing all your book work??????

I responded to your question in a way that seems totally appopriate. Your using --- "A company credit card" --- and your wanting to see if you can conceal the expenditure....... If your NOT worrried about it showing up on your companies accounts, why are you asking this question? e.g. You want to see if it can be concealed.

That rings alarm bells as corporate / white collar theft.

And now your into KEEPING SECRETS from your daughter, who also does your books, you say.

Why would anyone do such a thing? That is suspect / wierd.

What you say might be true, but the more you open your trap, the more reasons there appear to be, to not trust you at all.

I hear that type of garbage from my crack / meth head neighbours, who are also into dealing in drugs, stolen credit cards, and robbing peoples houses, cars and business's.

Fast talking "Instant answers to everything and honesty about nothing".

And the way you phrased that first question, it was a dishonest kind of a question.

And since your the one who wanted to spend time AND money on the site, with ~300 reviewers out of 324 reviewers, saying it's a BAD place to deal with, why are you not asking the people who run the site or paying attention to the reviewers who are almost wholly, saying it's bad.

This defiency also shows a "rocks in the head" crystal meth mentality.

You need to ask much more insightful questions. Open the email as a plain text email and go sifting through the code for all the markers for a genuine or fake email. You need to use your brain and to do some hard thinking and research for a change.
