Plenty of Fish Dating Reviews 52,574

If I could rate lower I would. Its one of the crapies sites ever. All these ppl care is about your money, they do not listen, nor do they care

I would give POF a 0 star rating if I could. I signed up and realized there was no one in my area. So I tried to cancel within
24 hours. They refused to get me a refund and my subscription. So I had to cancel my card so they wouldn’t charge me again for the three payments. Do not give these people your money. It’s a scam.

The absolute worst dating/ hookup site ever. Nothing but scammers and fake profiles with pics ripped off the web. Females under male listings is a dead giveaway. Just a total waste of time. If you want to waste your time talking to a scammer from over seas, go for it. Otherwise stay far away from this site/ app.

When I joined I made the mistake of paying for subscription then a message said if you upgrade to premium we will refund your £56. Emailed them several times they just said it been done this was nearly 2 months ago still nothing this site has turned into scammers.

Bullying gold digging website. Full of lies and misinformation.
No wonder many elderly people and also young suffer from mental health issues as this site is a BIG problem for causing mental health issues.

Every single woman wants Prince Charming, the man of her dreams, and won't settle for anything less than someone very hot, very funny who is over 6 feet tall.
When you look at the standard of women who are demanding such things that isn't going to happen

They refuse to compromise, and rather than being happy and giving out good vibes on the site, they spend their whole time acting unfriendly, rude and telling you they can't see likes.
Hardly the best way to attract someone is it?

If they're that bad now imagine what they'd be like if you met them?

No stars

I pay for premium which meant I could send a loads of messages a day to women, and then after they took another year's money, they changed it, and now premium only gives you one contact a day like others that don't pay except you get all the other useless features. Now they have prestige which costs an extra £40, which gives you the benefits premium used to. They didn't notify me of this before taking my money, obviously. It came into effect as soon as they took my money. They are scammers

Another scam site...these are all the same company full of scammers and hackers. Plenty of Fish, Ourtime, and Match.com

POF is a Rip off !!! They wanna charge you to send messages to people they wanna charge you to see how many likes you have everything they want to charge you for this website should be banned and taken down

Signed up for more expensive package. I live in Ireland. Even though I choose Dublin Ireland as my location, all the profiles that I get to see, and that get to see me, are in Scotland. When I asked POF to resolve this, they said they couldnt due to a recent upgrade in their technology. When I said that I wanted a refund and would try to set it up the account with the right location, they said they dont give refunds, and referred me to their terms and conditions. There is no t&c that says that if my location is in the wrong country that it cannot be changed. Their lack of interest in addressing an issue that they are responsible for and that I must pay for demonstrates that this is an organisation that does not care about its customers. I was contacted by another woman from Dublin, with a default Scottish location, who said she experienced the very same issue.

Plenty of Fish has become a scummy platform. You pay for a yearly subscription, only to find out later that you need to pay even more just to talk to people. They don’t tell you this upfront, and once you’ve paid for the year and discover the extra charges, they simply say ‘no refunds’—full stop.
Years ago, I used to tell people this was where I met my wife and that they should join. But now it’s no longer about helping people find love; it’s all about squeezing money out of users. They mislead you, they upsell you, and they’ll say anything to get more money from you.
I’ll be telling everyone I know, and every blog I can find, exactly how this platform operates

Many of the profiles I see have not been active in months and months.

Plenty of Fish stole £20 by double-charging me for a subscription. They said they'd pay it back but, ten days later, they still haven't. They're very dishonest in hoping you won't check your accounts, so they can get away with theft. I wonder how much they've managed to steal over the years through this deception?

Since this platform changed owners it’s a great deal worse than ever before. It is no longer free and it ignores your desired radius and ethnic preference. The same owners has bought BLK and Bumble making all 3 a disaster. They will trick you into believing that you have many potential matches waiting, but you can’t see them until you pay and then when you do, not one comes close to your preferences. POF is swamped with fake profiles and photos. The platform administrators are messaging customers I think pretending to be legitimate matches. Don’t waste your time and money.

Biggest Scam Dating Site.
I was on POF. Early 2025. I got sick of the same bs. I went back a year later March 2026 the same people are still there. Nobody talks or they send likes and deliberately ignore you. Most women on there are angry men hating time wasters. They don’t know what they want. Don’t waste your time or money.

This site is full of old profiles and fakes. It limits the number of first contacts you can send out to ONE A DAY, even when you pay for POF PLUS £20 for 1 month which is absolutely pathetic and you still can't see who has viewed or liked you!!

POF PREMIUM - you can see views and likes but nowhere will they tell you the number of first contacts it gives you. I emailed and asked and got a full page of waffle and they still wouldn't tell me the answer.

Also, messages keep appearing saying you have 25 new LIKES which is blatant lies. When 25 people VIEW you, they say it was LIKES even if none liked you. Ridiculous.

Another con trick POF uses is the "MEET ME" feature. Go through these and you will find every single reasonable looking female profile has messages DISABLED, which is because they have become inactive months ago and are no longer there. Their last online date shows and it's usually 2 months ago or more. I believe most people would remove their profiles if they had left the site, so POF is clearly keeping these profiles on the site to make it look interesting, without the people who left even knowing.

I remember POF back in 2002-2006. It was never great, but it was 5000 times better than it is NOW. AVOID THIS SITE and NEVER EVER PAY THEM ANY MONEY. NEVER !!!

so many photos are stolen and become fake profiles with bizarre First names and everyone seems to be working working for the government or an engineer lol you have to repeatedly report them to POF and they're taken off but most of the time they're put back with a new name etc. somehow I think that POF is creating these fake profiles with these drop dead gorgeous guys to entice people to use up their free messages you ask them specific questions where they live and they repeat the town or are they just stop answering you total scam site

Till recently very happy with POF then I was suddenly and for no reason parted from my account and spent hours trying to get reconnected with only platitudes from the helpdesk.
I then tied to set up a new account using a different e mail address no success their either and again only platitudes from the help desk.
Very vey disappointed.

Bought membership to be told I can only email once a day. Shocking and disgusting waste of money. I can email if I buy an email for 1.25 per email. Just a money-making racket in my opinion. Or upgrade for 39.99, so 60 gbp a month. Total waste of time

Have met a few women off this site in the past. There is a trend of lesbians who are jobless or cannot manage thier finances, so they come on here to try and pick up unsuspecting women and start love bombing them into paying for everything. Then when your no longer useful or call them out poof! They ghost you. Same on fb dating too, unfortunately these people are everywhere - although I have noticed the ones who do that usually give you thier phone numbers really quickly and delete thier profile in order to move you off the app, meet you in person to get you to start paying for stuff taking them out running them about everywhere etc when really, they have zero interest in you or a relationship. Also a lot are incapable of having a conversation and just put 'hey, hows you' or are just sat on the site for attention but have no desire to meet anyone or date in real life. Some of the lowest of the low types of gay women on this app incapable of love or dating.

Was dating one from scotland and started to get suspiscious when she kept calling me her soulmate and trying to get me to leave my home, cat, job and move to scotland (had only been talking to her 4 months and met once) every single month for 5 months in a row she would have a 'financial crisis' where she would either lose her bank card, need a new car battery, need new car wheels, get locked out of her bank etc, and every month would ask me to transfer money - she had a meltdown after 5 months of me saying no. Then youv got women asking you to buy your shopping or taxi them where they need to go all while having zero interest in you, only pound signs in thier eyes.
