It's pretty poor to be honest...
I signed up for a premium membership to this dating site and I have to say, when you purchase a premium membership you don't get all that much. I changed my profile to suite more what I was after and then the search engine doesn't work! The website was telling me that there wee hundreds of people online in Australia but somehow there wasn't anyone online at all? I tried to contact admin and their responses were not helpful at all and didn't rectify the problem at all... I wouldn't suggest POF to anyone to be honest!

Hoax, 95% Fake Profiles; If I could give this 0 or negative stars I would. I feel sorry for the 5% real Singles.
Plenty of Fish (www.pof.com) or as I like to call it Plenty of Fakes, fraudulent dating website; I'd say I'd be very close to accurate in saying 95% of the profiles on this website are fake. I'm a male and like I said a very high percentage of the female profiles on this website are fake, male(Eg. 'Cinnamon' of Ipswich Queensland trolling male profiles) profiles masquerading with female pictures. I reported this issue to Plenty of Fish, but clearly they support this behavior as it draws in more unfortunate individuals who believe they're actu...
Read moreally vetting and rarely speaking with genuine singles, this resulted in the deletion my account for the second time. Advertisers too are being scammed thinking that genuine prospective customers are seeing their ads, they're not, they're associating their well known brands with, to say the least, fraudsters 95% scammers. Thankfully I didn't pay for the scam service like other poor souls. I have no doubt my pictures are now being used on fake profiles on this and other dating websites. The Plenty of Fish(www.pof.com) website facilitates a communication platform for criminal individuals and groups under false identities to coordinate illegal enterprises of all kinds including identity theft, fraud and the like, advertisers and singles be very wary.Find out how Plenty Of Fish compares to other Online Dating Sites

Scrap Heap
As a paid member I was bombarded with fake profiles at the start all sending links to some sort of video porn site.
Genuine women without serious mental health issues are pretty much non existent.
If it’s tattooed ex biker moles you’re after , you may be lucky to make their short list of guys they’re already screwing.
An Absolute let down, only on plenty of fish will you find the scrap heap of women (1’s to 5’s) at most who think they’re all 11’s and one out of twenty actually replies to you and at that it’s like they’ve just crawled out of a dumpster after a hard night working the streets.

Big scamming website, be very careful....
From a males point of view. I've joined 3 times now & will never join again! It's absolutely full of scamming ladies trying to get you to go offline & either get you to porn based websites OR you have ladies approaching you all nice & friendly then they ask you if you have Whatsapp & let's talk offline to get to know each other better?? Don't fall for it, you'll soon hear they really really like you & your so handsome, then it's either can I come to see you but I don't have the money for an airfare or I have no money for food & hit you up strai...
Read moreght away for money to put in their account. Absolutely unbelievable!! I'm truly serious about this, but know a scammer & when I'm being scammed/lied to. Guess that's what you get for a free based dating website & for this day & age, you can't trust anyone. A shame when I'm genuinely a nice guy looking for an honest lady.. ha, fat chance...Awful site
Full of fake profiles, scammers and lots of profiles with out of date photos.. which you find out when you meet them! Don’t waste your money or effort. I’ve only been on there 6 weeks & had a scammer ( I realised ) and person with out of date pictures !!

I have been hacked.
This site is a waste of time and money. The women on here don’t reply, and unable to block them. Their distances to contacts are laughable at best, and their idea of time is suited for higher dimensional physics!!

Letdown... big time!!.
This site is a farce.
Waste of money and time.
Are people stupid enough to be part of this site.
Liars, cheats, and a whole lot of scummy people. Like the owners of the site who manage porn sites.
I'd say 80% of users are attached. Beware the lines l'm from xxx but l'm currently with the defense force working in Arabia. My wife died in a car crash... It's all garbage they are people working in a phone call center out to play with your heart strings.
Hang up and block them. They are con artists.

POF is SO scammy.... And the Wammens? Spare me. It should be called the Reject Shop.
The site is a PURE money making scam...
For instance, they say all the men considering signing up for the site, must not say to a woman, "I'd like to meet for hookups"., because they will throw you off it. But the website manager owns and hosts a heap of other garbage porn sites, that you can access as well.
They say you must write like this in your profile.
"If your profile contains obscene language of any kind your account will be deleted."
I did a username of "Oodlesofdoodle" and did the modern woman's shopping list for men but I flipped it for fun,

What a disgrace.Greater Melbourne (Outer), VIC
The site is a scam and poorly administered
I was new to the site.
I had a few matches and wanted to chat live.
I was requested to have an age check that requested a credit card check for free.
This charged me nearly $80 and then did not work.
Two days later I logged back in and my password was rejected. I reset the password.
I logged in to the site only to be connected to someone else’s account.
This is a disgrace. How can a supposedly reputable site have such poor security.

They just want your money!
Once you sign up for a time frame you can't stop them taking your money! I have found this site to be pretty much a waste of time and money. I thought that because I was paying monthly I could unsubscribe and have the direct debits stopped but no!
It is Fake and Fraud
There are many fakes photos and IDs, specially women /girls photos
They are all scams compare to others applications
Asking for money/credit cards/ and upgrades to full accounts
Keep getting scam msg and emails

AVOID THIS TOTAL SCAM
My Account was hacked and POF were useless, PayPal refunded my sign up subscription but then paid over the monthly recurring subscription which POF diverted to another Clients Account. A refund is now pending. POF are a totally unprofessional and unethical outfit.

Waste of time
You will spend an hour filling up lengthy stupid questionnaires and then few hours later your profile is deleted for no obvious reason. They are just collecting information for marketing companies. Stay away from them!

scam scam
Do not pay any money to them ! Tried to buy $8.95 package of 5 stamps and then found my account had $81.40 plus the $8.95 taken out for 12 months subscription which i didnt ask for..
Stevie BSydney, NSW
Avoid this site.
Most of the profiles are fake.
The filter/settings don't work so 95% of the profiles that do exist are from people out of state. I emailed POF customer support telling them that this was useless as the people who were contacting me might as well live in a totally different country due to the distances involved. Customer support replied saying that they had changed things their end so it would not happen anymore - nothing had changed.
They also make it incredibly hard to cancel your subscription. I had to visit my bank to ensure they did not take any further payments.
Avoid this site please - they just want your money and don't provide a service!

POF What a Scam
This terrible site allows members to block you after 1 message being sent?The amount of scammers,stalkers,hookers and judgemental people on POF is ridiculous.They take 1 look and block for no reason.The same show pony Instagram woman from 1 year ago are rife on this site and are just there to show off and not date at all and string guys along.There customer service is terrible with auto generated responses.Unless your a paid member its a useless site.
Questions & Answers
Katina C.asked
What does it mean when you can no longer see someone's picture, but can still see everything thing else,even your previous conversation?
1 answer
Might be that they have ‘hidden’ their profile, which you can do in the settings. I’m not sure though, to be honest.
Cwilesasked
Why do I get matches from guys in other states and more than 25 km away.?This is so frustrating and a waste of time.
Why is there no where on the website to contact you and ask a question in my.own words? I am not very happy with this site.
Sue H.asked
Anyone else noticing they are mutual matching with people they’ve never seen let alone liked! Who is on my account liking all these people?!
