PoF.com / Plenty of Fish PoF keeps deleting my photo even it's a clear face ones and ignoring naked offensive photos posted by some members especially from women.

For more than occasion PoF deleting my photos clear face personal photos some with my racing uniforms with my dog and so on. There's no proper or legit explanation for PoF staff behaviour. On the other hand they allowing alot of very offensive naked picture from females members.

This is a clear discriminating behaviour directed against me personally and should be stopped otherwise I will hold PoF responsible in human right tribunal proceedings

Desired outcome: Stop this discriminating behaviour immediately

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Liar about marital status

Dear Sirs,

I am reporting Eric/Richard L Cooper, screen name coopinphx on plenty of fish and other dating sites, recently on Wechat the Chinese social media. He approaches women and engage sexual activities. I dated him and made very clear from the beginning that I was seeking a long term relationship and marriage. He lied to me that he was divorced but still doing business with his ex but I found out that he is still married to his wife as of today. I have photos, emails and texts to proof. He dates multiple women at the same time and lies to everyone of them. He is also very verbally, emotionally abusive. I know a few women who he has dated and the complaints are the same. He even borrowed money from someone he dated and promised high returns with only a fraction of what he promised after the promised investment dates were long overdue. He even threatened me to hurt me when I called him out. Please let me know if you need any pictures. The man on the left in the picture.

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Big time scammer

FILIP248578
This person is a serious scammer. He contacted me March 12, 2021 and we were back and forth on your site for about 2 weeks when he encouraged me to quit the POF site and chat via email and text and telephone calls on WhatsApp. This man claims to be from Sacramento, CA but currently working in Izmir, Turkey as the lead Engineer on a Solar Energy Project. Everything was going well until April 14th when I get an email telling me that his work site had had an explosion and three of his workers were hospitalized and that the Turkish government was charging him and asking for approximately $60,000 to cover the cost of specialized care for the injured workers. He indicated he was unable to access his bank account because Turkey had such crazy laws, but he had contacted a friend in Germany who owed him a favor and this person was going to transfer the required funds to him in Turkey. One week later, another email indicated this friend was unable to raise the funds and at this point he asked me to transfer the funds from his account to his lawyer in Istanbul. I went along with this, so he sent me all the information, but when he appointed time for me to do the transfer I simply told him I would not get involved in his funding request. By now I was aware something "fishy" was going on. I was getting reports every day about the condition of the injured workers and how the Turkish government had given him 21 days to come up with the money, or he would face grave consequences. On approximately day 13/14 because he had not come up with any payment, he was appended for a weekend but he talked his way out. This was when he started asking me to send him money. When the 21 days expired he was apprehended again but his lawyer managed to raise $17,000 by selling the car he was using, so he was again released on the understanding that he had to come up with the balance at which time they would release his Passport and he would be free to travel back to the US. He started to pressure me to send money and sent me the banking information of an account in Cornwall, Ontario that supposedly was his lawyer's Canadian banking info. I agreed to transfer money, but had no intention of doing so. By now I was really playing the game with him. I faked a personal emergency that required me to travel out of province and told him I would have to put the transfer of funds on hold. This was when he began to express his profound love for me and how we were meant to be together and of course being together meant marriage, because he has such old fashioned principles. When I told him that this sudden commitment was too overwhelming for me and I was not ready to talk about marriage, he seemed to change his tactics. I finally pulled the plug when I told him on May 31 that there was no way I would ever give him money. I have not heard from him since.

Desired outcome: he needs to be removed from the Plenty of Fish Dating App before someone falls for his scamming game

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Membership Revoked Due to False Complaint/ FEES LOST

I signed up for the $81.00 POF membership and not 2 weeks after being activated someone filed a false claim of racism against me. Possibly due to the fact that I am a TRUMP supporter and a Conservative Republican. Customer Service at POF revoked my membership, closed my profile, kept my money and refused to return my calls and emails. I'll be glad when the FTC shuts these POS's down.

Desired outcome: Close down POF and stop the scamming of people trying to actually meet someone for a relationship.

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Plenty of Fish

I made an account in POF (plenty of fish) as a transgender woman. Yes my inbox got flooded for the 2 days I was in the site. Few of the guys wanting to hook up with me so bad that they would offer me money just to meet them up. I said no everytime because I did not wanna break any rules of the site. But for some reason I was still blocked and got my account deleted without telling me what I did wrong. I was only there for 2 days until I got banned. Like why am I the one who is banned when I'm the one being offered and yes I declined. Isn;t that unfair for us transwomen? I do not understand why. Penalizing the victim much?

Maybe you need to be upfront in your profile that you are transgender otherwise you are being deceptive and decieving people that have a right to know who you are...its a dating site, this is something the other members have a right to know. Maybe thats why you got the shaft !

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Unethical behavior

Customer Service

YouTube
Customer Service

Susan Pettit
41 N Liberty
West Alexander, Pa 15376

To Whom It May Concern:

I am sending this to report a likely case of fraud involving Plenty of Fish (POF) and YouTube.

In mid-December, I was contacted on by a man who called himself Brian Alex Martin on POF. He further related his son, William a past POF customer who had set him up on POF. Martin represented himself as a naturalized citizen, hailing from Spain when he was 23, now 63 years old. Currently living in Pittsburgh, he found it necessary to fly to Louisiana as his mother's house had burned down. He then went to work on an oil rig in the California area. During this time, I skyped twice with him and he seemed to be identical to the many photos he sent me over the course of the relationship. I am in possession of many photos and videos from him while he was at the oil rig including graphic photos of injuries employees sustained. He claimed to work for the Shell Oil Company and it would appear that they do not have rigs located at off shore California. He sent me a doctored airline ticket as confirmation that he was flying to San Francisco.

As I had been scammed before, I ran a photo of him through facial recognition. Several hits came up-identical to the person on YouTube named Peter Monn who has placed many videos of himself along with his husband Alex and dog "PP". These were very, very similar to the photos of his son and dog, sent by Martin to me.

I confronted Martin with my findings at which time, he called Monn an imposter and impersonator. I will not repeat the other things he texted and said to me before I hung up from the last phone call.

I am not sure who is who at this point as the skype encounters I had did seem to be the image of Monn. Monn is a gay man whose voice is distinctive. Martin had a deeper toned voice with a heavy accent and the man introduced as his son did as well. The son William bears an identical appearance of Monn's husband, Alex. At the least it would seem that Martin likely engaged in fraudulent behavior using Monn's photos, etc. Mr. Monn should be made aware that Martin is likely using his image, if in fact he is. If it was Mr. Monn, he acted fraudulently representing himself as Martin.

This is a confusing situation which I find myself in. Until I did the facial recognition search, I very much enjoyed interacting with Martin. I rely on POF and YouTube to sort this out. Here is the contact info I have: Martin's phone number is [protected] and email [protected]@gmail.com. The son's is [protected].

Please let me know the findings of your investigation.

Sincerely,

Susan B. Pettit

Desired outcome: report of findings

I encounter the same thing but that was on Facebook dating. And he sent me pictures of Peter Monn claiming that people were using his pictures. Said his name was Chris Sutton from Wisconsin. Said he was on a oil rig in the Scotland sea.

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Unfair banning

I reported an ex partner for continuing to abuse me on their site. I blocked him once he then found me again so I reported him for harassment. After that my dating apps had been banned for violation of their rules. I'd been on the site a few days and had said hi how are you to a few people and that is it?! My tinder account which I havnt used atall had the same thing that it had been banned, how can that be if not using the site?!. So how have I violated their rules, they cannot give me an answer and they are basically allowing an individual to get away with shutting down people's accounts without giving the person a chance or to investigate first. I had evidence of the fowl things he was saying to me. I'm being punished for something I havnt done and pof are not taking action. I think it's disgusting that they support this kind of thing. I have sent many emails with basically the same reply there's nothing they can do. So I'm banned for life because I got abused by a ex partner and reported him for him to clearly retaliate in malace. This is obvious due to the sequence of events, I report him then I get banned. This is shocking
My email address is [protected]@hotmail.com

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Romance scammer

Trying to make a 5 month Romance Scam brief will be a challenge.
We met on Plenty of Fish, his story is he owns an Oil Drilling company based in the Gulf of Mexico. After gaining my trust his iphone breaks I send him a $1500 new one. Next the $235k drill bit breaks. He sends his bank account link, which has $3million balance. for me to make the purchase, it goes through easy. But the $22, 500 shipping cost freezes the account. Desperate, he begs me to help by getting him gift cards someone on another rig will give him cash for. That about wipes out my savings. Then more business expenses happen, I max out 2 credit cards. Meanwhile he's still promising he won't let me down that's not who he is. All my debt will be paid. We'll have a wonderful life together.
Now he gets Covid, I start paying 42 day hospital expenses (thank God it's Mexico, but maybe not, if it was in the USA I would've stopped sooner.)
I came to my senses today when he was to fly home. The story here, immigration is holding him until he pays his taxes. I told him contact the US Embassy and I stopped contact then called my local sheriff he says call FBI.
I'm a retired 68 year old respectable single Christian woman, guess now I should add gullible.
All together I lost everything I had worked hard to build, 802 credit score, platinum status at my bank, 2 credit cards with no balances.
With the 2 credit cards now over their limits, everything gone from savings & checking, I'm out $50, 000.
I have no idea how to get myself back on my feet but I know I want to tell my story, people need to be educated on these scams constantly, in the crazy world we live in.
Below is the picture in his profile. I got him to send me his DL, it's fake.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Harassing users

They allow harassing users to stay on the site without deleting them. I had one person who repeatedly sexually harassed and called me vulgar names on the site. I reported this person repeatedly and he is still a user on the site. Where is the protection for the users who abide by the rules and want to meet someone? The mental users that repeatedly harass people are going to end up hurting someone then what?

The site does not work I cannot contact ppl it tells me I'm not in Australia even though it is clearly marked as such in the settings, I also receive emails from people but when you go to the site they are not there? Ghost people?. The overall site interaction is also of a very low or poor standard. I have only just signed up so the cooling off period has not passed so you have already cancelled my subscription but you have to return my payment.

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Misrepresented data to get me to upgrade

NEVER pay for an upgraded POF membership. The number of people who supposedly "Like" you includes such things as memberships that have been deleted, etc. In my case, the purported number was 50% more than the actual. Of the remaining accounts, NONE were worth Liking back.

Also, if you do pay to upgrade, they will continue to renew your account every time it's due. You have to fish (no pun intended) through the pages to find the area to do the cancelation. If you forget, you're stuck because all sales are final. CROOKS, with no care for customers.

Don't waste your money on POF.

PoF.com / Plenty of Fish Dating website

My preferences state clearly I am a male seeking a male. My "people who like me" is filled with women. Wrong answer. Also, my search preferences clearly state 25 miles or closer. All I am getting here is people who are hours away. And the two that I did want to contact have "messaging disabled". This is as scammy as it gets. There is no customer service number, you cannot call them to complain. I emailed them the same day I joined to tell them I was totally dissatisfied and not to charge my card. They ignored two emails and charged my card, which I now have to cancel so they don't hit it again with their auto renewal.
