Reviews and Complaints

I have emailed POF many times without any replies
They had a lady on POF that was suppose to help members.
I tried to post an event and ask for her help on 2 occasions and she accused me of being rude and blocke me from POF til September 2014.
Why can't POF tell me exactly what I did for them to allow this missallison to block someone for asking for help.
No problem though I found a better sight now
datehookup.com lets me post and they are very helpful.

Advertising was good enough for me to upgrade but then after I upgraded on the website I did not know that actally I will be not getting the full service I will get if I upgrade, in the other hand the website said they can't refund my money back, that is what I call stealing my money without providing the things I expected to get from the website and without a refund from the website I did not know the website is actually unsafe to upgrade on and my username is habibs on the website.

Is it possible that the language to what you agreed to said that you would end up paying $5.95 a month but that the fee was to be paid in a lump sum? I know a lot of sites do that - charge you for several months at once but show you how it breaks down to a per month charge. But if you disputed the charge, they may have rejected your payment and that may be why they canceled your account.

i'm the owner of barn15 someone has stolen my ID changed pass word and email address.I paid on my credit card to which i had to cancel for I'm worried your security is no good.girls told my some guy in IN named david has it.hope you resolve this quick

Clearly the Attorney General(s) need to look into this
I have also heard that sometimes messages don't go through
The entire internet is worthless when everything is a scam
I guess that I'll have to go back to binge drinking in bars to find chicks... too bad mothers against drunk drivers ruined that for everyone. A DUI used to be no big deal... you paid about $300 everyone had a laugh and that was it. You could still drive to work and what not - you just had to tone it down for a while. I got a DUI recently and they treat you as if you had already killed someone. This world is really starting to suck bloody anus. I want lethal injection [censored] all! This world is nothing but a big turd ball hurling through an infinity of sorrow. They should have a place where regular folks could go and get lethal injection. Why is it that serial killers and other murderers an such are given the luxury of lethal injection? That has to be like the easiest, least painful, greatest death that there could ever be! Why do we reserve this death for those who hurt others? I don't want to hurt anyone but I am sick of everyone hurting me. I'm sick of the Markus Feinds and the Nigerians, and just all the pathetic scam of this world. This world is played out, blown out. This world is like some 80 year old skank with herpeis. I should be allowed to go down to the Mall to my local lethal injection franchise and cleanly split the crap ball. I would like to see a person sue the government for the right to have lethal injection without being first convicted of a capital crime. Now that would be a case worth watching on TV. Of corse it prolly wouldn't be on TV since all you ###tards are too busy watching the skankdashians. Hey remember when their dad walked out of OJs house with a big suitcase (that he didn't walk in with)? F him and his daughter - they're not even good looking.

the same thing has happened to me and it took months for it to be resolved and for my account to be deleted. awful website.

I have an account with FISH and its been hacked. Cannot get online. When I see pictures of profiles only men appear? Can someone contact me ASAP. I paid good money to join. I am calling PNC CREDIT TO VOID LAST PAYMENT.

I deleted my pof account yesterday night. I was told by one of the people I was in contact with they can still pull up my profile, only my photos are deleted (which I did before deleting, thank god) I did a user search of my user name, and it does not come up. I also can not sign back in to delete the write up. Why is it -still- up? I want it removed completely, as it still looks like I'm on the site. What's up with this BS?!?

yeah like you know you think wow you find mr right, like what so ever, wow just to end up with no account, because facebook people takes you off... nice really not..

Suggestion...Delete your photos and most of the content of your profile description. This will keep others from contacting you. Worth a try, few people will contact with no photos.

****WARNING, RED FLAG, HORNS, BEEPERS, WHISTLES**** Ladies on plentyoffish, beware. There is a guy in Grand Blanc, Michigan that is totally and completely lying to you. His screenname is LUC_E_ME. His profile says HE IS A GOOD GUY BUT HES NOT. How do I know this? Because up until 2 week ago he was my boyfriend of almost 6yrs. Half of whats in his profile is a lie, and his profile has been up and down several times over the last 6 yrs or so. He is a cheater, a lier, and never has only 1 woman at a time. He hasn't been "Single" in 14 yrs. He jumps from one relationship to the other, and his relationships always overlap. He starts with a new woman and she thinks she is dating a single man. He goes back and forth between the new woman and his unsuspecting girlfriend. He has given me 2 STD's. This guy is a dirtbag. He is a very good looking guy and can be extremely charming, so watch out for him. But trust me ladies, that pretty face is ALL he has to offer. He doesn't have a real job and is always looking for the next big "scam" in order to make money. If you decide to ignore my warning, then you are on your own, and may God have mercy on you for all the heartbreak you are going to go through. HE WILL BLEED YOU DRY AND USE YOU FOR EVERYTHING HE CAN GET OUT OF YOU. ALL WHILE HE CHEATS ON YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE. AND IF YOU THINK I'M JUST A DISGRUNTLED EX-GIRLFRIEND, YOU'RE WRONG. I BROKE UP WITH HIM. I COULD TELL YOU STORIES THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND ON END! STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY!

Well first off, I vote that Markus should be professional for when it comes to letting some of his customers know whats going on when it comes to finding out they have been banned, I made numerous accounts, sometimes been on it for a few minutes, than "BAM" out of nowhere Im kicked off and tried even seeing if my email address is in their system and they claim to say its not. Well its not hard to just make a new one, but these so called Moderators need to do their research and actually go through the rules & regulations cause their are large amounts of discrimination issues going on for something you DON'T have to pay to use. Boycotting sure wont get anywhere but the word out that Markus doesn't know how to run a business surely one that people use for simple reasons (not mentioning them on here ofcourse). I myself can do a much better job without having to deal with moderators, (basically anything goes). I know several people out there can agree with me that POF has become a Sea without fish. That expression theres plenty of fish in the sea has become an oxymoron since Markus and his moderators have been "poaching" us free willing fish out of the sea. I don't know how much I can elaborate on this subject, also feel if its worth my time. If anything or anyone has any questions or so forth feel free to contact me my email is mj.currie@live.ca.

ummm? cant you meet people the normal way instead?

Interesting read! :-)

Plenty of Fish discriminates on a regular basis. They had behind international legislative loopholes and continue to exclude certain race, creeds and religions for nihilistic purposes that make sense only to moderators. We can collectively run them out of business by continuing to raise awareness of exclusion and the racist attitude this site represents (as this OP has done). Those who have read her story and continue to subscribe to POF are as morally corrupt as Markus Frind and his staff.

POF is a very highly racist website. I am a university (senior) lecturer in the UK using plenty of fish. On one a occasion my account was deleted simply because the lady I was in contact with asked me were my parents were from and I answered, Nigeria. I was immediately logged and the account closed. Exactly the same thing happened moments ago. Mind you if I was asked where my parents were from and I lied about it would that be an ethical thing to do? This has happened to many Nigerians male and female using the site. Markus and his team exact this racism as a substitute extreme laziness. The mention of the word Nigeria means nothing. If I say all white people are seriously racist it will create an uproar! If I say all Germans are Hitlerian Nazis, the same thing! Yet it is okay to assume every person who identifies as Nigerian on a dating website is a scammer even when no scamming is done. Markus and his team should know Nigerians in the UK get access to all things they are entitled to including good jobs, loans, mortgages, partnerships, civic honors, advanced qualifications, licenses, permits, leases etc. Markus and his team can remain in the Dark Ages suspicion and superstition without proof yet he has the chutzpah of bragging about some scientific that earned a Nobel Prize he uses to match people. The first woman I was match with on "ultramatch" was Black but she clearly stated in capital letters that she wanted white men only. Nobel prizes are not the stuff of guesswork.

I also have several tries to register my profile and just because I am Russian I was not allowed. That is totally horrible! Still I have a lot of foreign friends on Facebook, was travelling throught Europe and Asia, and never had a purpose to date with someone to get visa etc, I also had some real foreign fans of mine but they do not attract me at all. But why could not I make my own profile in order to make new friends and may be find a boyfriend. Pure discrimination. Those who did not face the problem will never understand. I am also against any kind of rude behaviour sometimes Russian show abroad, any scams, prostitute etc, I always insist on the fact among my friends that is highly important to learn foreign languages (besides English i intensively study Spanish in my business school and German just for pleasure), but when you are well educated, smart girl who can support any topics beginning with science and finishing with political situation to be the object of discrimination made me really really sad and completely disappointed by the plenty of fish.

Hi can u please resend me my username and password forgot it thanks

I'm Daniellie, I am a transgendered person. I tried to join plenty of fish 5 times and 5 times I was deleted. Despite I identify myself as woman, I have no intention in "tricking" anybody as I disclose my sex, gender and sexual orientation in my profile.
POF deleted my profile after a few hours. I contact POF.com to ask why and I received a letter from a person named Sarah. The letter says nothing.
I never violated any terms. I’m not a spammer, I’m not an escort, I didn’t advertise anything or used improper images.
In my opinion the free dating system POF offers is heavy in discrimination against sex/gender variants.

Plenty of Fish discriminates against transgender persons. They delete accounts without notification or justification. They may have legal grounds to do so, but I believe it's shaky at best. At a minimum, it is immoral and unfair discrimination.

I tried to contact Plenty of Fish because I was no longer able to access my account. There was a note from plenty of fish that they changed from PlentyOfFish.com to POF.com but they have saved our passwords. I googled customer service for Plenty of Fish and got a phone number: [protected] and an Indian man call Dany asked me to turn over control of my computer to him so he could fix the problem. He ended up telling me that there is a security problem and for $300 a year he could fix my problem. I asked him for the name of his company and he would not tell me. I suspected fraud.

Dear Plenty of Fish. Today is oct 15, 2013. A few days ago I could no longer access my account. There was a note that said Plenty of Fish was changing from: PlentyOfFish.com to POF.com all saved passwords were reset by your browser. Since I got that note a few days ago I have not been able to get on to my account. Username: racquetwhiz I am able to type in my username but my password does not work. When I ask for my password I am asked to provide my email address and I do that. MichaelPoizner@aol.com I then get a note that says, this email address is not in the datebase, Now i try to find a way to tell POF my problems. I google customer service for POF and i get a phone number [protected] and they tell me my security is not working and I need to send $300 for security and they will help me.

Please: Plenty of fish. Can you get my account back. I have never been rude, vulgar, or used immoral pictures or anything. I just want my account back. It is awful that one cannot really seem to talk to any official of POF when something goes wrong. I even tried to write the CEO Marcus but i had to have my account working to do so and that is my problem.

thank you

Im a senior who just mistakenly paid $135 for 12 months by mistake

I received a message and when i signed up, there was nothing there!

You have deceived me and robbed me of money other than to scam.

I want a refund as YOU HAVE STOLEN.

I will be going to every website possible to leave bad reviews until i get it!

Can no longer open site. What’s the issue? Can open but can’t open messages, my profile etc .

Since you changed your logo etc., I can’t get on.

Says my message is too short to get attention. What else do I need to say other than what I have said.

Website won't take my card details even though they're correct. How can I resolve this problem.

Why we have to chose 6 months and pay 60 euros to start?

they Do not respond to your emails they dont care at all The site is going to get shut down you should see how much documentation I have against them

Hello

I am very concerced since I registered in your site, last wednesday.

I input my username: *************
and my password: *****************
If i did make a typo, which it happens, the password is not recognised therefore i try to retrieve it inputting my email address : **************
and the site says that that email address is not on your database EVEN THOUGH i am receiving emails to this email address plentyoffish.com since i registered, and with messages from users. I have tried everything: Security levels in internet options tools in at the lowest level, cookies are enabled, i have had to ask an expert in justanswer.com which is costing me money, to add insult to injury.

I am not supposed to be in your site, it was a mistake, i need to remove my profile for personal reasons asap and this has caused me great distress in the past weeek, my profile is still active on your site, there is nothing I can do, not even the expert at justanswer.com has been able to help.

Please go into my profile - *********** and if the password is not: ********************, then you should send it to me to la-riviera@live.fr. Or you, the people working for plentyoffish, could you remove my profile yourselves? please?

I am very upset, worried and desperate, dont know what else to do to be able to access my profile.

Please help!

I was discriminated on plenty of fish becauce afater I signed up.Thre was guys sending me dirty messages 1 inperticular that calls hisself sensibleguy540 .Every time I got a dirty message from someone I told them they must had not read me profile.Because I explained I didn't like dirty talk. Guys were sending me emails about wanting BJs and this gur inperticular was very filthy mouthed.I thougt POF said there was not suppose to be any sexual content written in messages or your count would be deleted.Because the people got mad and blocked me because I sent them a message back stating how I felt about their language. POF sends me a warning that if I got blocked by so many members I would get kicked off POF.I think the guy that runs this site is a ricist.Because I'm a women and I"m a decent lady he threatened to kick me off so I deleted my on account.But the guy that sent me those horible messages far aas I know wasn't ever even sent a warning and I complained 2 times on him.Does anybody have a number I can call this Markus.It made me so mad I want to take him to court for racesim.

I keep getting my profiles deleted as well. When I write to Markus I never get a responce. I feel like its because I am not goodlooking. I am attaching my picture as well to this. Plenty of Fish need to go out of business as the person who runs it descriminates against anyone who he feels is not good enough to date. Please. If I can help an any way I will! I have had to creat my profile like 5 or 6 times in the last 2 weeks. I can be reached at jasonp_97062@yahoo.com

Sincerely,

Jason

I made a mistake when I signed up and I did not mean to process the transaction, it was done as a very honest error. My son is on medication and I need the money returned to me. The plenty of fish have no phone number and keep telling me its my fault and they won't do anything. They are jeopardizing the health of my child as I need the money. We all make human mistakes...this is rediculous.

I am a reporter working on a story on this website. There was a man arrested for making a fake profile on Plentyoffish.com. It is being investigated by the police. Yvonne. Please let me know if I can talk to you about your complaints and if there is some way to reach you by e-mail.
Thanks!

i cannot get pof to work it keeps deleting my new profiles right after i make them how can i get acess to pof agian i was told my photo is still there

i joined that site two times and was removed for absolutely no reason because i stated i am transexual i have appeared on 8 mag covers and fhm mag also, the site are completely phobic and bigoted and weird so i dont know why anyone would want to join it anyways x

Plenty of Fish is run by one person, so you can imagine that he probably gets millions of e-mails as he is the largest dating site around right now. Its kind of the you get what you paid for saying... in this case you paid nothing so you should expect a crapp solution unfortunately. People are wierd and you always have to be careful on any website you go on. Sorry you had a bad experience
