!) No responses from alleged Customer Service to any requests.
2) Discriminates against men. Women have unlimited and HIDDEN filters. Men have almost none. And the women's are not disclosed, so you do not know until after you have composed a greeting!
3) Fake profiles. Used Google photo search. Almost all the single photo profiles are trolled from the internet.
4) Most emails from guys going to women are NOT delivered.
5) Just another self-promoting website scam. Think Craig's list with pictures.
I checked my bank account and found a $51 charge from Plenty of Fish.. I never sign up for an automatic renewal, so I was not happy with this. I called them..no response. I emailed them, no response. I called them again and threatened legal action..They sent me an email saying they would refund my money. It's been two weeks and no refund, but they did cancel my account. I have a presence on the site, but not the upgraded benefits that I should have with that $51 charge. I emailed them again..No response..Again..No response. At this point, they charged me for an account that I have now had revoked, but have not received a refund, so I have been ripped off.
I signed up at Plenty of Fish, a dating site, after a friend of mine met someone on the site. I never got a nibble on this site and after a couple of months..gave up on it and forgot about it. I never sign up for an automatic renewal, yet a couple of days ago I found my bank had been tapped by Plenty of Fish for a renewal for $51. I immediately emailed the site..no response. I emailed again..no response. There was a partial phone number associated with the bank charge, so I did a google search and found the full number. Sadly, the search associated this number with a number of frustrated people who were complaining about getting charged and no one responded to thier calls. I called anyway..and guess what..no one returned my call. The charge is still pending in my bank account. My next move will be to complain to the BBB and the State Attorney General's office. Too bad, I thought these people legit, but they seem to be just another ripoff.
I am reporting the dating website Plenty of FIsh for the Plenty of Frustration it has caused me since I went on that website on 1/13/2013 Plenty of Fish(POF) has deliberately & intentionally ignored what my profile said on purpose It only matched me with who they wanted me to be matched with not who the customer/client wants to be matched with
I have asked begged & pleaded numerous times with that dating website what my preference for women are and who I want to be matched up with not who they want me to be matched up with POF has intentionally & deliberately ignored my preferences on purpose they have shown white on white racism towards me
I have recently enrolled with e Harmony which is a far better dating website and e Harmony at least pays attention to my preferences is very helpful which is why e Harmony is one of the much better dating websites for people to choose Plenty of Fish didn't bother to say we are sad to see you go or even apoligize at all POF is totally garbage classless rude is a total disgrace for a dating website
I signed up on this dating site to meet new people. I was on another one and it was full of scammers that try to get your phone number or e mail address. Plenty of Fish seemed more popular so I signed up on it for that reason. Yes, there are more people on it and it did seem a bit more upscale. Until I read that if you 'upgrade' you will be able to: read mail, see who has viewed you, see who has deleted you etc. A total grab at emotion. So, I did the upgrade.
I hit the upgrade button and was given three choices for payment. I can't remember exactly, but the first one was 'The Best Deal!' For 6.00 per month or 81.00 per year. The second was, I belive six months, and the third was, I believe three months.
They make it look like you are getting charged for ONE month when in fact they take the ENTIRE amount out of your account.
Here is the biggest problem of all. You cannot in any way shape or form contact these people. There is a reply on the website on your profile when they give you the billing details. I have submitted that form twice. Tried to call the number listed on the site and it rings but when it is answered it is a recording. "The mailbox you have called, Plenty of Fish Billing, is full.
I tried another completely different number I found on the Internet and it just states it cannot take any calls.
This comapny is a complet and total scam. They do nothing but prey on lonely people and then take their money. I have read numerous complaints all the same as mine. There is no way to get the money back.
This company is more than a rip off they are shameful liars and the only company I have ever had this sort of problem with.
I tried to log in to my account yesterday morning, and it did not recognize my password, nor did it recognize my e-mail address when I tried that way. I should NOT have been deleted. I follow all of their rules, and am
always respectful when messaging. I don't even write suggestive inuendos. I have also been nothing but polite and curtious on dates. I was never given any message that my account would be deleted, or why. I'm pretty sure they don't do any review process before deleting accounts. This whole ordeal has been very upsetting to me. I know this has happened to others for no reason, and I am wondering if there is a way we can get a group of people who have had the same thing happen, and take some sort of action. I know that this may seem like a trivial issue, but like I said, it's very disturbing, and I believe they are treating me /us with unfair discriminatory practices.
I have noticed a pattern using their services. Yes i know it is free service, but you can also pay for an upgraded service, which after i tell you about the free service, makes the paid service a ripoff! Censorship. Thats the main cause, i cannot express myself, i have to use different words. Ok, i get profanity is profanity, but it is part of our social life here in AMERICA! I state that in caps because this site is based out in Canada, so how do they know AMERICAN rights? Keep in mind they are using .com, not .ca, therefore it is an Ameircan commerical site! I am censored to thepoint of ewords that can be affiliated with sex, such as hook up, or get down, pants, yes it is ridiculous. With that said, the message will say it was sent, but it was never sent.
Also have some experience where the message was sent, and it shows it was sent, but it was never sent to the girl. I know, because i asked numerous ones. I have to be a different person online to talk to these immature girsl, whereas in the sense of defeating the purpose of this online dating, then it is online sexing. Dating is what leads into relationships, and i have to lie right off the bat and be a different person, well if you don't get my point, then yes, you, yourself are an idiot. Don't know how else to relate it, except the fact any dating that happens is automatic fail! She is not what she thought i was, because now i am in public, with censorship, guess what seh is like, "This is not how you are online"!
The other thing is pictures. Girls can post themselves in their bikinis, sport bras, bras, even to the point of wearing nothing except their hand over their nipples. Ok, now that you have th imagine in your head. I cannot post a picture of myself in a bathings suit. In other words, i wear only shorts, no shirt, hence the phrase "bathing suit". My picutre is not allowed up their because i don't have a shirt on, the answer i know that from, is thge response from POF themselves! Yeah, girls CAN, BUT GUYS cannot!
Now here is the kicker. I can post a picture without my shirt on, but it has to be my back, not my front. Yes, i can post a picture with my bareback, but i cannot post a pic of myself enjoying life either at the ocean or the pool to show my social life like that, and i am not allowed, but yet girls can proudly shove their breasts online, even wth hard nipples, but at least that there is no topless picstures. Oh wait there are, with hands only covering them.
If you get my point, YES, this is a HUGE civil rights vioaltion to the 3rd degree. Black and White sexual disrimination, as well as the site being sexist towards men. On top of that, this is a Canada based company that is MAKING PROFITS, TAX FREE using a .com address being based in CANADA! I repeat, its a CANADA company using AMERICA to gain PROFIT! If no one sees the problems i see here, then what the hell is this democracy we have here?
I would LOVE to file a lawsuit against this company, even after reading this report about them:
Back in 2008 they booked $10 million dollars, 50% of that is profit! Now tell me where our AMERICAN money is going from our country? America or Canada? Is this Obamas change he has been talking about, because they enslaved blacks, this is his retalitation to america by doing so as far as hurting its infrastruture? Yeah i know its an opinion of mine, but seriously after witnessing the past since he has been on office, what truly has changed, at least for the better of the people, AMERICAN CITIZENS, the ones that really matter and what makes this country AMERICA!
Try it out! Girls can write and post whatever they want, but ment cannot! So i say that not only a major violation, but the fact that they are from Canada means they don't have to follow American Laws, even though they are using a POF.com
PoF.com filled with fraud profiles. Owner Markus Frind allows women to make fake profiles on this site. My experience with this site was pretty hilarious. I was being stalked by a girl who has mental issues and suicide cut marks all over her wrIsts. Quite literally this pathetic girl has greenish yellow cut marks from attempted suicide attempts. I reported this to pof.com and they did nothing about it. This person literally had HUNDREDS of fake profiles contacting me with hundredes if phony profiles talking dirty to me through the internet. I posted this online on numerous complaint boards because it was just creepy and ruining my online dating experience. POF then deleted my profile and use of his website. and next thing you know the police dept is posting on that site that they want to talk to me so i should call them at the number they listed on the website. Wow! the police dept os siding with a girl thats telling me she wanted me to rape her. The next thing you know the FBI come looking for me with a folder with my picture and explain to me that i have not done anything illegal but was under investigation for conspiracy. So i asked the agent about this girl who was stalking me and he responded that Whatever is posted online is not criminal and was civil between me and that crazy girl.
Had Markus Frind upheld basic terms of use with his website he would have deleted the fake profiles although he discriminated me and proved himself to be a sexist ny deleting my access to pof.com
Markus Frind is not even his real name. This ma. Is a fraud who is using the suffix .com in his buinsess name. .ca is used for canadian websites and .com for american websites.
I want the dept of justice to hit pof.com with a discrimination lawsuit
if anyone agrees contact me. I have no fear in calling washington DC dept of justice and pushing the attorney general into investagating similar inncidents of discrimination. Pof.com makes millions of dollars from online advertisements and it may be time for Markus Frind or whatver this frauds real name is to face the consequences of fair buisness practice.
