I have been contacted by multiple members of your service regarding the issue of being charged for accessing messages on the supposedly free online dating platform. This practice is described as extortion, as the service is misleading users by claiming to be free when it actually requires payment to view messages. Many individuals, including myself, are sharing this experience online to alert others about this misleading claim of being a free service. I have attempted numerous times to contact customer support via phone and email with no response. I am considering taking legal action against this misleading practice if the issue is not addressed promptly. It is frustrating to not be able to speak with a representative to resolve this matter.

My account has been hacked, and someone has replaced my picture and bio with someone else's information. The hacker is posing as a different person, trying to interact with older men by leaving false contact details. I've tried changing my password multiple times to regain access without success. Even after changing it, the hacker reverts it back. I attempted to use the password reset link, but it's not functioning. I've reached out to POF through emails, but they haven't resolved the issue. The situation is escalating, and if I manage to log in, I plan to delete my account.

I created a free account on POF yesterday, and I managed to log in last night but can't access my account today. It seems like many others are facing the same problem based on the forum posts I read. I tried to reset my password, but I didn't receive the reset email despite multiple attempts from different email addresses and my phone. I am not tech-savvy and can't access forums for help. One user mentioned setting up a USA VPN as a possible solution, but I don't know how to do it. I was looking forward to chatting with people who messaged me, as I received emails until midnight but now can't log in. I believe I followed all the rules, so I am confused about why I can't access my account. I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this login issue so I can enjoy using the site. Thank you for your help.

I created a free account on POF yesterday and was able to log in last night, but today I can't access my account. I noticed many others are experiencing the same issue based on the forum. I tried to reset my password following the instructions, but I didn't receive the reset email. I even attempted to do it from another email address and my cell phone, but still no luck. I saw a suggestion about using a USA VPN, but I'm not familiar with this. I'm not very tech-savvy, and I'm struggling to seek help in forums. I was looking forward to engaging with users who messaged me, but now I can't access my account to see the messages. I have reviewed the guidelines and don't believe I violated any rules. I'm unsure why the site is not working for me. If anyone can assist me with resolving this login problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello, I am reaching out regarding my experience with being a paid upgraded member on Plenty of Fish. Unfortunately, my account was compromised, and someone posted false statements in my profile's title along with partially nude images without my consent. This incident has escalated, and I have involved the police, already filing a report. I can provide the police report number if needed for your records. I am requesting that Plenty of Fish provide me or the Shelby Township Police Department with the records from my profile, which were deleted recently around 9 PM on June 26. Please respond to me promptly.

Hello, I recently signed up and received your welcome email, confirming my correct email address. However, I am unable to log in as it says my password is incorrect. Despite trying to reset it through the 'forgot password' link, I haven't received the reset email. I have checked my spam and junk folders without any success. Since I can't log in, I can't verify or correct any mistakes from the registration form. Could you please assist me in logging in? I'd prefer not to re-register to avoid missing out on items I was interested in. My username is SUNNYSDG, and my email is [redacted] Thank you for your help. Sharon

My account was functioning smoothly until suddenly, I encountered difficulty logging in. My username is New2ELW. I have multiple email addresses and am unsure which one is linked to this account. It might be [redacted], [redacted], or [redacted] Despite requesting password reset emails, I have not received any correspondence. Attempts to contact customer support by phone at [redacted] have been unsuccessful. My legal name is Carol Christian Scott. In the past, I had another POF account associated with [redacted], but I no longer use it. This issue has persisted for over four days, and I believe it may stem from an upset POF user flagging my profile. I seek assistance in resetting the password for my POF account under the username New2ELW.

I would like to cancel my membership and receive a full refund of all money paid in the last 48 hours. I already cancelled through Apple iTunes and received confirmation that it will be processed. I am confused as to why POF asked for more money for an upgrade after I requested cancellation. I mistakenly provided my credit card information for the upgrade. Please refund the upgrade fee as I no longer wish to use the service. Due to illness, I am not currently employed, and money is tight. I appreciate your understanding and prompt action on this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, R. L. Please confirm via text or email once this has been completed. Thank you.

I have tried calling your company multiple times from early afternoon until tonight with no success. It has been incredibly frustrating, and I now want my account deleted. I have spent countless hours in the past few days trying to navigate away from disturbing individuals on the site who somehow obtained my phone number. One even went as far as to share my address, made alarming statements, and referenced being armed. I feel unnerved and have documented everything on my phone, including the individual's first name, Ken. I am at a loss for what is happening with all these unsettling calls. Please, just delete my profile. I have had enough and will not be using dating sites again. Lesson learned.

I have been experiencing ongoing issues with my account being repeatedly locked. Despite multiple attempts to recover my password, I am not receiving any reset emails. This has resulted in me creating four different profiles due to being unexpectedly logged out. This situation is negatively impacting my ability to connect with potential partners as I lose all ongoing conversations every time I create a new account. I have attempted to use the app assuming it would store my login details, however, upon logging in, I consistently receive an error message stating my information is incorrect. My name is S. M., and I am willing to undergo any necessary verification procedures to resolve this matter promptly. I prefer to retain my current account under the username Yonistarr28 with the password Atlstar28, and I kindly request the deletion of any redundant accounts. Your prompt assistance in rectifying this inconvenience would be greatly appreciated. I utilize three email addresses for my business: [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted]

I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I have received recently. During my time on the platform, I have encountered individuals who have behaved inappropriately, with one individual even going so far as to send explicit images through messaging. On top of this, I have faced other issues such as difficulties reaching customer support, experiencing phone call disconnects, and encountering problems with resetting my password. Despite being provided with a temporary password, I still cannot access my account to delete it myself. The continuous issues I have faced have led me to the decision to leave the site immediately. The entire situation has been frustrating, especially considering the inappropriate messages I have received. I am requesting assistance in permanently deleting my account as soon as possible.

Hello, I'm Mike. I'm having an issue with the POF app's search engine on my iPhone 7. Normally, when I refresh an advanced search sorted by "Last Visit," most of the users shown are "Online Now" with green text next to their names. However, after changing only the radius on a recent search refresh, the users are now randomly sorted, with the majority not appearing online. Despite reinstalling the app and logging out/in, the problem persists. Is there a way to fix this glitch and have the search display Online Now users at the top again? It's crucial for me to see who is online to improve my chances of getting responses. I hope I've described the issue clearly. Thank you.

I, Amber G., recently discovered that my husband created a POF account on June 3, [redacted]. However, the account was not fully updated, hindering me from obtaining evidence of his infidelity for divorce. Due to a cracked phone screen, I inadvertently accessed the $71.99 upgraded user info and was charged via PayPal when my screen froze. Although a refund of $76.76 was indicated, it went to my husband’s unlinked checking account, not his PayPal. Despite no PayPal record, his bank statement shows a PayPal phone number. I seek a refund dated June 26, [redacted], posted on June 27, [redacted], for Phil G., username Poppyphil1984, of Jackson, NJ [redacted], with card ending in [redacted]. I hold screenshots of the refund notification in iTunes and the unreimbursed checking account charge for further proof if necessary.

To whom it may concern, Despite previously contacting you, I am still receiving emails from Plenty of Fish indicating interest from others. I deactivated my Plenty of Fish account over a year ago. Given the recent privacy regulations, why am I still being contacted? My information should have been removed by now. Following the birth of our baby, my partner has noticed these emails on my phone, causing unnecessary strain on our relationship. This situation is unwelcome, especially during this important time for our family. If this matter is not resolved within 7 days, I will seek compensation for unauthorized retention of my information. Sincerely, R. Havard.

My former girlfriend caused me to be banned from POF, and subsequently from Tinder and OkCupid. I held active paid subscriptions on all three platforms and didn't violate any rules. Dealing with this situation has been frustrating as one person's actions resulted in my accounts being removed. While POF approved a refund, I still need to resolve this with Tinder and OkCupid to get my money back. I am puzzled by how POF's actions can impact other dating sites. Could this be related to the connection with Facebook? It appears there is a broader issue at play, as POF shouldn't have the authority to ban users across multiple platforms.

Dear Support Team, I am reaching out regarding my membership issue. My name for billing is Kavie Love, and my username is Kavielove. You can contact me via email at [redacted] I have been a paid member for three months now, and this is my third attempt to address the same issue. I have not received any responses before, which has been quite frustrating. My concern is that I am unable to search for women under the age of 39. I believe that I look younger than my age and would like to have access to search for younger women. For the past three months, it seems there is a setting that I cannot change, affecting my search functionality. I kindly request that this be corrected, and I would appreciate an additional three months added to my membership due to the inconvenience and lack of response in the past. Thank you for addressing this matter promptly. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, K.L.

I recently accessed my POF account via the mobile app and noticed a sudden surge in views and messages. Suspecting unusual activity, I discovered that someone else was responding to messages claiming to be from Austin but originally from Germany. Alarmed, I tried to contact POF online but encountered login issues. Despite attempting to reset my password via email, I did not receive a reset link. Suddenly, I was logged out and prompted to create a new account, preventing me from accessing my original profile to delete it. Despite finding a phone number online for assistance, my attempts to reach POF were unsuccessful. Another number I stumbled upon offered assistance for a fee, but I was hesitant to proceed as I doubted its authenticity. Can someone provide guidance on how to resolve this issue and regain control of my account? Thank you.

I registered with my Gmail today and received several emails from POF throughout the day notifying me of messages from other members. Tonight, when I tried to log in, my password was not accepted. Despite numerous password reset attempts, I did not receive the reset email from POF. The emails from other POF members also stopped coming to my Gmail account. After contacting POF for help, I was advised that someone in New Mexico had accessed my account. They recommended transferring me to Secure4Sure for assistance at a cost of $69.99. Feeling suspicious, I disconnected the call. I am now unable to reach POF to resolve the password issue and am considering deleting my profile, although I cannot do so without logging in.

I have been a member of Plenty of Fish for several years under the name Heartsxox. However, I have been unable to access my account for the past 8 to 10 months despite multiple attempts to reset my password. Despite being told that I would receive an email to change the password, I never receive any notifications. I recently created a new account, uploaded new photos, and even received an acceptance email for my new profile. But after logging out and trying to log back in, I faced the same issue of the system not recognizing my email or password. I attempted to contact customer service using an old phone number without success. The situation is confusing and frustrating.

I tried to create the username "solemnreality," but I mistakenly ended up with "solemnrelaity." Confirmation was sent to the email provided, but I can't access the account. Despite several password attempts, I can't log in. I keep getting prompted to use a different username when I try "solemnreality." It seems there was a typo in the email address used for the account confirmation. Resetting the password doesn't work as I don't receive any responses at that email. I'd like to rectify this issue and use the correct username I originally intended.
