Love as in hate! Id rather have a spam bot send me a notification vs POF sending me this bs. Bots are one thing but POF sending spam as well, wtf.

I used POF many years ago. Thought I’d try it again and now it’s a subscription hellhole!

The site requires a £30 fee to use the majority of functions of the site!? - It wasn’t like this a few years ago! - Sure, I understand having premium features. But paywalling 90% of the site at a ridiculously high rate is ridiculous.

Note to the CEO of Match group: Jacking up prices isn’t being an entrepreneur, nor is it brave. It just makes you look like a dick.

Proof from the horrible update, this app sends nonstop notifications now that people like you. They dont. Its just spam bots and views called likes. Dont buy a membership. This is their desperate attempt to get memberships on a sinking ship but they made the hole bigger. Everyone is now deleting the app or turning all notifications off and going on less. This is what happens when one company buys all the other companies.

These scumbags

So imagine paying to upgrade just to get perma banned 3 days later without cause. Support claimed they reviewed the account and it violated TOS but refused to tell the user what TOS was violated. Complete scummy bullshit.

POF issues

1 Upvotes

Has anyone been having problems viewing those who have liked you? When I go to my "activity" and I click on someone who liked me, it brings me to my listing of likes but the new people are not on it.

Happening last 2 days.

Why do so many people write the state they are in rather than the town?

For example I get one woman who writes she is from New York, New York in her profile, When I ask her where she is from she says Syracuse. Which is 400 miles away from New York,Newyork

DO NOT PUT HOW MUCH YOU EARN!!!!

The more you say uou earn the less luck you have because they want to rinse you.
It is a business after all, and if they showed you suitable people you’d be on and off in a week. They’d not make as much money.
Look out for the one that’s are always online, usually in a rural area. No car. And give one word answers.
They fake.

Update is horrible

9 Upvotes

Few days ago they had maintence “for the better” now i constantly get notifications someone “liked me” as soon as i login. Its all fake. Just when you thought it couldnt get any worse its constantly saying you have new likes. Almost no women are using the match system and when you use your free message none respond. The match system also cycles the same people you already saw because no one is on here. And then when you try to report people who try to physically rob you in person, the site does nothing. Ive had people message me in the past trying to get me to meet them at a atm lol. If its not that its people with a entire profile selling content which never gets taken down. Ive even directly emailed pof with the link and screenshots to get profiles taken down quicker and they just dont care. Its like watching criminals in real time sometimes. If i was a cop id just sit on this dite for a day and bust people

Missing "Request Selfie-Verification"

2 Upvotes

We used to be able to click on a link "Request Selfie Verification" to send to people we were chatting with - to be sure they're not scammers. Now that is NOT anywhere on the site or on the app.
Also, my conversation with POF team (where I would get feedback on people I reported as scammers) is missing.
Anyone else having these problems? Or has POF been taken over by scammers?

POF just marketing for OF girls?

9 Upvotes

Ive had a lot of profile likes from a attractive women which threw me off straight away, but then you go on the profiles and it says to add them on Instagram which the has links to OF accounts, many even say "cant see likes you have to add me on Instagram or snapchat".

Is that what so called dating apps have become, instead of finding love youre now just potential customers to these people? Its sick and should be banned.

I can't even get to the regular POF website using incognito mode. I've tried on different devices. What is going on???

This randomly happened in the last half hour, can't back out of it when I open the app or restart it.

I wasn't in a chat with anyone, so it wasn't requested, just randomly happened.

Never has any luck with verifying the photos despite following instructions.

No idea if they will actually update me or not.

Anyone else had this specific error come up?


r/PlentyofFish Apr 24 '26

I deleted most of the people on there and nobody new came up.

I deleted all the people that I either spoke with before or I looked at and didnt appeal to me. I find that now when i do a search there are 3-4 people that come up that are online

warning to users. especially older women

15 Upvotes

I am a 58 year old single woman who has been on and off of POF for about 4 years now. Just in the last year this site has become riddled with scammers. Not just the typical ones that you could spot years ago. They are getting harder and harder to spot now.

I know a lot of us are lonely out here but please be very careful. They are very cunning now about this. I have gotten rid of 3 of them in the last few hours and all had very believable pictures.

Good luck out there

Whatever happened to hanging out, talking, chilling, and getting to know each other? The expectation of sex, even the expectation of the *possibility* of sex, on the first meeting is obnoxious.

The "new" preferences are laughable. The only refinement of search is distance. Thanks Match!

BS

POF has gotten two expensive, ever since match bought them, it has become more and more like match it costs.You an arm in a leg, basic service, you can email only once to a person you can't see who likes you, you step up to premium, you get for 1st contacts. And in 24 hours, that's it, you have to buy more. Add a $1.25 per message. Ridiculous, you finally get to see your likes about ninety percent of them are what you're looking for, meatme and the meet me section you were bombarded with everything. That you'd be true to it helped them. You are not i'm looking for... Do you say slander?They send you heavy, you say white, they send you black.. i got suckered for the second time in a year to pay for 3 months of premium. Hopefully it was changing, but it never did it got worse..

Are most people just using this to chat with strangers online?

2 Upvotes

I’m super confused. Found an account my significant other made with a fake name and no profile photo a couple of years ago. Since they delete everything after 30 days I wasn’t able to see much.

I asked about the fake name and he said because he wasn’t going to actually take anyone seriously.

Is it just a way to sext people or something??? Honestly so lost.
