Oh POF downhill fast! Makes dating hard now any age person can contact or "Like" you. Hard to sort 100's of likes to find a few people in your age bracket with 1 or 2 similar interests. I've had about 2 introduction type dates in 6 months. Many men have not written a decent profile, misleading info, poor or old photos. Contacting women way… Read more

younger or older without reading their profile. Many women have complained to me. Developers seem interested in taking money with little user filtering control. You have to pay to have the simplest of options.

Still no good. Best to stay clear of this dating website. You might find a friend here but not a real relationship. Go elsewhere like the local pub or a singles group. This website is just like an art Gallery just for viewing. Nothing more. And it will cost you. Show details

Used to be one of the first free Apps. It is now just an unpoliced, SCAM app. Full of fake af profiles. Pathetic people running VPN accounts to force you to waste time weeding out the fakes. Then when you report them. Nothing at all is done. Waste of time, effort and money. Should be thrown into the sea with all the other fish. The lack of even… Read more

basic English is a dead give-away. Then if you tell them off they report you. FFS! What a sad state of a once good site gone to absolute crapola

If I could give this company a 0 star I would. I went to reactive my account after 6 month after finally after 12 emails back and forth I find out they deleted my account! An account I have had since before 2018. They made me answer so many questions to say “yeah na it’s deleted and can’t be reactivated sorry here’s a link to register” When I… Read more

put my account on pause in June! What is even the point of putting your account on pause when they are just going to delete it. No explanation nothing! I even sent them the photo to prove “I was taking a break” as I sent this to my now ex but to show him I was not online anymore when we were together

WOW, WHAT A SCAM, I purchased Premium 1 year membership with all the standard features, as I read the T&C, checked what I am purchasing, I was happy with the T&C and what was on offer. I start using the site, and tried contacting some women that were appealing to me, but the system would not let me correspond, and continued to ask me to upgrade my… Read more

membership to the next level if I want to see the emails from who is corresponding with me , and also, I can only contact one person per day, which is the same as free membership. They offered a product which I read about before I purchased, then the POF company reduced and blocked the services and are demanding that I choose now a different level of membership which is more expensive and with options to pay as I go. I contacted them thru 3 emails, and they refuse to acknowledge my purchase and continue to push their other more expensive offers which have the ability to connect with others like I signed up for in the first place. I did send them the Terms and Condition of the membership purchased by they refuse totally to acknowledge what their T&C are, and are repeating the same rubbish to me to purchase a higher level membership, and refusing to acknowledge my 12 month membership. How ever I don't trust them, based on this purchase, they will probably scam up some other ways, to pay for other services as they already started hinting what else I can purchase from them. See pic below with T&C yet they mean nothing to them. They block what they choose to block, use pictures of people that don't exist, Once I paid for my membership, I went looking for the woman that were there before the membership, and none to be found....

POF IS A SCAM....

OHHH and then they ask me if someone is offering me a reword to write the review.... They use any tactic to make one feel inadequate.... Our Governments should step in and force this company to obey what they sell, or jail the owners.

I will try and get my money back from them thru Internet Shriff.

Trash site – Full of scammers. prostitutes looking for business and fake profiles set up by POF. Unlike a lot of the other reviews, I did actually meet someone, she tried to extort money out of me which in turn I reported her to the police. The real ladies are trash just like this site.

Dont pay!! – Signed up... Paid for extras, once payment went through, asked to verify my account which I did and got a badge, then the next day asked to verify again, which I did then the next hour asked to verify again so I messaged help and said something is wrong so instead of fixing it, they banned me. I appealed the ban and a automatic message just says… Read more

we will not re new your ban you have violated our terms... The only thing I did wrong was message them and ask for help, which they Instead took my money and banned me. There was no violation of terms, when I asked them what I did besides ask for help they just sent an automated reply that says the ban will remain

Plenty of Fish is a scam – This is a fraudulent organization. They don't even have a functional phone number. They list one. It's fake. It goes nowhere and simply disconnects. Their email is controlled by bots. And if you ever set up a recurring payment, they will NEVER… Read more

Pof are just money grabbing scumbags, I've sent over 10 messages in the past fortnight and not one of them has been read. It's obvious that they make your profile invisible so you end up trying everything like changing photos, bio etc but all in all… Read more

they just want more money for boosts. Maybe it's just a sign from God to give up on all these narcissistic bottom feeders anyway. I'd avoid this site as they decide who is visible and who isn't. These scumbags are the cause of depression and self doubt because they simply hide your profile and it doesn't help having 75% males on this st^pid site as it is. My theory is because I'm over 50 and the last date that went to trash she ended up deleting her profile so they see me as someone who takes women off the site, well she soon got back on there yet I'm getting punished for it. Pof haven't heard the last of this as this site is a money grabbing scam and men like me are getting lead on believing that if we upgrade we have a better chance more than others. I guarantee Pof has actually caused suicides due to men feeling worthless and redundant when all along we're just invisible and wasting our time and money. Pof ain't going to get away with this I promise you that.

I joined plenty of fish because I didnt have alot of time on my hands and was tired of all the losers around town. I was always the same thing, meet.dinner, meet for drinks, meet for s#x, then find out about whatever drama she was trying get help getting out of. Thats not what I was looking for. I was looking for someone who understand me and… Read more

except me for what I am. At first POF was alot of the same. Chat, chat, chat, phone calls,text, and maybe a meet but it was always some immature girl looking to get out of a situation. Then when I was close to just accepting that I lost the window for finding the women I was meant to be with. A women clicked the like button and it was an instant connection. Now in my experience too good to be true usually is so I was apprehensive. But after laying out who I was there was no doubt she could only want one thing from a relationship with me..Me.I now know I am in love with this beautiful women and I am pretty sure she feels the same. I couldn't have made a more perfect women for myself. Now is she perfect? God no she has faults but she wears them proudly and it only makes her shine brighter. I don't know where the road of my life is giloing but as long as she is riding with me Im not afraid. I can't be more pleased with my experience with POF. All I can say to the other fishermen and women is to is to be honest about who you are, what you want, and what your intentions are and maybe just maybe you can catch someone as amazing as I did.

When I looked at the photos and aesthetics of the app, it appeared to be a cool app which might appeal to people similar to me. After I paid and was able to see the people I was quite taken back. The photos were 95% old men who appeared dirty, were flipping the bird, had smokes hanging out their mouths, or holding beers. Their skin was old, rough… Read more

and grey, a sign of ongoing alcohol abuse and they were all at least 15 years older than they claimed to be. I would describe them as frightening. I gave it a try and after a day could no longer cope. I asked for a refund, however despite providing on more than three occasions the information required for a refund as set out in the terms and conditions, the company would not return my money. Plenty of Fish? or Plenty Fishy! Give it a miss. I give this app 10/10 for being gross!

I subscribed to Plenty of Fish expecting to meet genuine people within my selected preferences. Unfortunately, my experience over several months has been extremely disappointing. Despite setting clear filters for age and distance, the majority of activity I received was from profiles far outside my preferences or from accounts that appeared… Read more

inactive or suspicious. Many profiles also seem to be years old and no longer active.

When I raised these concerns with customer support, I received generic template responses that did not address the actual issue.

For a paid service, I expected a much higher standard of profile quality and moderation. Unfortunately the platform currently feels flooded with inactive or questionable accounts, which makes the experience frustrating and largely ineffective.

Because of this, I have cancelled my subscription and closed my account.

So I signed up for a year. Paid the fee. Yet every time I use it they still want money to see stuff. It's an absolute scam. I must be really ugly or something because I've had little to no replies to chat requests. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Show details

Probably the most annoying thing about this app other than the fake profiles is the fact that there are so many ladies that haven't been online for at least six months, so it is clear that they have either given up, found somebody or just too lazy to cancel their subscription. Plenty of fish seem to do nothing about policing inactive accounts, so what am I paying for? Show details

I finished filling out my profile and then went to sign in. They blocked and banned me from the site. WHen I filled out their form to ask why, they said I violated something. I asked what but they wouldn't tell me. After reading other reviews, I'm glad I was!

They will ban you for no reason, paying customer or not. They allow s#x workers to post and the quality of other matches are very low. I have seen profiles that have been there for years and a lot of fakes that will not respond or ghost you after a couple responses. They are ran by the same company that operates Tinder, Hinge, OKcupid, Match,… Read more

Meetic, BlackPeopleMeet, LoveScout24, OurTime, Pairs, ParPerfeito, And Twoo. I would suggest staying away from all these sites unless you want to be scammed.

being a paid member you can see what is happening.. at least 90-95% of profiles are either very old, scams or fake.. the site "prods" you to sign up and pay but from experience all the "hits" are generated from POF and are not real... the profiles are sometimes from older subscribers that have been retained by POF and it is surprising just how… Read more

many available people appear to be close by ... but living in the country you know that those small close places do not have a population to have 3-5 people available... the site is a joke and really the whole thing is a scam....
