Hey all,

Just a word of warning. I was just scammed by some chick on Plenty of Fish

She told me that POF now has video chat and that you have to sign up for it. I then went to the POF video chat sign up site she sent me. I signed in and added my credit card number. I was then automatically transferred to some porn cam site.

POF does not have video chat so do not fall for this!!!

Really? You game them your credit card? Why would it be a separate thing and not included in the POF upgraded membership? I was already a little concerned that the women I was talking to was to good to be true. When she brought up the video chat I knew she was...

I checked their help center out and there is no mention of video chat, nor does this POF review on this site mention it.

Word of warning to everyone

How are people so gullible. You just hand out your credit card number to strangers? If the site does not have a legitimate customer service number they never get my credit card number regardless of if they are real or not. So a fake one...Sheesh!

Ok just copy paste this to your web browser if you cant find video-call options in your settings website or App

Thanks for the info on here I didn’t fall for the scam either. But she’s out there on the site tonight. I hope all you guys come here first. I feel sorry for you. She’s an attractive woman and she’ll say whatever it takes to get you to be a sucker.

Ashamedly, I just fell for the same scam.
In one of her messages, the woman directed me to a POF look-alike website where I stupidly handed over my credit info.
I immediately realized something smelled fishy and cancelled my account.
Pain in the ass.
Lesson learned

it seems the only women on this site are scammers I have replied to three women and have got the same response. go to the video chat and enter your credit card. I have got messages in my inbox saying I have been trying to reach you. can you go to the video chat section and reply. I am not stupid, I belong to other dating sites. once you initially join no site will ask you again for your credit infor. if they do it has to be a scam. I have responded to several of these scams and told them it was a scam. all of a sudden their profile is gone. I don't know why this website does not post right from the beginning when you sign up that there is no video web chat. so beware, I have noticed that the same women contacted me again with a different profile. so beware. I am seriously thinking about deleting my profile and getting off this site. all the women I contact are scammers. from what my experience pof does not regulate its site. I suggest all of you do the same if all you get are scammers. BEWARE

you're a 100% correct it's like they are doing nothing I've reported several of them and nothing happens I see them still there in the view list that they viewed me.. some of them are actually paid members it must be a small price to pay to make hundreds of someone they scan..

They are all saying the same crap . Ohh no need for CC get varified. And you know right away with their broken English and terrible grammar. Most of them are from some African country like Ghana. And my favorite is β€œI’m so and so by name” I mean who says that β€œby name”. They have been watching to many movies. I have to show them a picture of an article that states that there’s no Video chat on POF. But this lame ass scammers keep persisting . What about the one β€œim all alone at my sisters house” or β€œI’ll suck your d___ go join this πŸ†πŸ…πŸŽπŸπŸ₯”πŸŠπŸŒΆπŸ‘ŽπŸ–•I’m like what the hell is that I have to go get you groceries now???

They're also targeting upgraded members. if you enter your POF login information on the website that they provide a link to, they will take over your account and start trying to scam people from your hijacked account. Seems more legit if you're getting contacted by an upgraded member. I've seen an upgraded account go from a female to a male. I think the guy recovered his account.
Also, I think the company that owns POF is allowing this to happen, maybe because they benefit financially? I have noticed that when I report an upgraded account, it rarely gets deleted before 5 days or more. Standard scam accounts get deleted fairly quickly, within minutes or hours. I've seen an upgraded scam account stay on the site for over a month.
POF = *censored*!!

Yep I nearly got scammed today - I clicked on the link then put my username and password in - then realised "oh sh*t what am I doing?" I googled it and got this thread luckily. I quickly changed my password on the pof website. It got confusing because both pof and the scammers were texting me codes by this stage. I think I'm ok now though - I have given them my pof username and mobile though so fingers crossed no more trouble.

In hindsight it was silly of me to go along with it but you know how it is with a rush of blood to the you know where and you're a bit of a sitting duck.

The scammer had a paid account and was a pretty blond (like someone said maybe hijacked?).

Be careful out there - if you think it can't happen to you then you're possibly more vulnerable.

Let me get this right a chick contacts you on POF, says she really likes and wants to get to know you, then tells you she wants to video chat with you but doesn’t feel same doing it on your expensive smart phone, so you need to go to another site , and give them your personal info cmon guys

There is no video chat on POF, says POF.

Even if you don’t input a credit card, it asks you to input your POF login and password. Don’t input this info as it will be stolen! And then your account will be used or changed by whoever.

The POF app (not the website) actually has a way to do live video streaming now through a new feature called Live which will be rolling out over the next few weeks across North America and should be available internationally by the end of April.

Through POF Live you can broadcast your video and any POF member (who is not blocked) can check it out. They also offer 1 on 1 video chatting. The only thing I am not clear on if this is possible right away or you must use NextDate to be matched properly with someone before this 1 on 1 private video chat is available.

For more information see: Plenty of Fish Adds Livestream Feature

PoF is a $hit show of scammers. The only real women on there are train wrecks. Remember, all the great women were already scooped up by the Chads of the world years and years ago. The only ones left are the wretched refuse and loony tunes nutjobs.

For real I got like 20 fake ass women tryin to scam and they have Upgraded accounts and pics of some white chick and the don’t even speak English good. 1st sign your about to be scammed. You can live chat through the app. If you get someone who says they tried to add you and couldn’t then send you a link. 2nd sign your about to be scammed. You send a msg and they reply and answer a question you don’t even ask. 3rd sign your about to be scammed. You chat with some *censored* with a bunch of numbers at the end of their screen name and they send a Snapchat or Kik contact info. 4th sign your gonna be scammed.

Hello to Everyone,

Please take the advice of all of the WARNINGS here. No more than 10 minutes ago I was texting back and forth with a contact on POF. Her profile name was: Mil02020. It may have also bern: Mile02020. Something like that. Anyway, she gave me this story about how nice she was and mentioned that she had gone on one date from POF. I basically expressed my Congrats to her as I had no luck at all which I said to her. She eventually ask me to video with her through "POF Live Video". I said I had no idea about that, so I googled it. I saw one post not on here that said look for the Chat Button below the persons profile. Well on POF official website it does not exist. So then My eyes were drawn to this link on Google. I read the majority of these POSTS them I copied and pasted it on the conversation she and I were having. Sent it to her then sent another text to her on POF asking her "She said her real name was Chloe" Anyway, I asked her this question: "Chloe, how do you explain this"? Meaning all of the Posts here that I copied and pasted (sent to her ).

Well immediately, her ENTIRE profile and our Chain of Discussion-- meaning all of the msgs. we had sent to each other-- had VANISHED. I thought I was tripping at first but I was NOT. She meaning her ENTIRE profile was gone---disappeared--deleted--removed----gone.

So Guys: DO NOT respond to those Tricks or Schemes. I want to THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR POSTs Here. Saved me from being scammed. Man I thought for a Minute there that I had finally found a Good---One. Still No Luck for me yet on POF but I am pleased to know that I did not take the bait-------An Absolute SCAM. SCAM. SCAM

Much Success to All of You, Be Careful OK, and Google Anything offered by those Tricks before you Use your CC anywhere other than the place you registered. Use OFFICIAL WEBSITES ONLY!

G---

Don't follow any link someone sends you in messages. Not sure if they can even send you links anymore with the latest POF update.

I was just on POF the other day and they do have Live streaming which allows for group and 1 on 1 video. It is for the app only and you must tap on the heart icon with 2 3/4 circle waves to access it. Here is a pic of live and you will notice the icon at the bottom of the screen shot.



I hope that helps.

Hi all!
If you go to "help" on POF and enter live chat in the search box, it will give you all the details you need to enter the REAL live chat. Unfortunately, there are people sending links that are NOT from POF. Do not follow any link...only activate through POF.
Good luck to all and stay safe!

Beware of the people who ask you to video chat. They will send u a link and when you click on it you enter your Pof username and password then it asks you to enter your credit card info. I stupidly entered my Pof site info And got to the credit card part and thought oh no. I told the person they were scamming me and I got blocked. Next thing u know they have changed my email, password and username on Pof and I can’t access my account anymore.
Over reported it to Pof and still waiting for a reply. Just lucky I didn’t enter my credit card details.

I know all of the ways to recognize scammers were mentioned in several posts so I figured I'd put it in one.
1
Profile name has several numbers at the end of it. Scammer
2
Profile looks legit but only has one picture. Scammer
3
Soon as you reply to a like or message they try to give you their Snapchat or Kik app. Scammer POF has all these features in the app.
4
Never click on any external links in chat messages. They are always from scammers
5
Profile is an upgraded member but the location is not complete or blank. Scammer.
6
This is an obvious one but I'll put it in anyway.
In the headline section right below the picture or in the profile description they will tell you to Google some name and when you Google it it goes to a porno website. Scammer
I hope these posts help more and more people recognize scammers so we can help diminish their effect. It is horrible how these people play with your emotions for cash

Just fill out the form and put all the details you put here on pof so that they can recognize you and verify to match your payment before as an upgraded member, you will not receive anything like a fee. Just get it approved, then the live chat icon will appear on your screen. Let me know once you're done so we can log in and get started, then we can arrange our meeting?

I have been getting these requests also. Thanks to everyone here for the warning. Maybe now see how long they are willing to keep texting.
Now it might be entertaining to fake coming on to those girls (never married, want kids, etc and from a very small town.
Does anyone know how these scammers are able to change their age? POF states that it cannot be changed.

Can I just say .... I got caught out by this scam , I β€˜m female . I didn’t enter my card details but they hacked my profile . I can’t log in anymore but I’m getting hundreds of notifications of men messaging me . It’s really distressing to know that they are using my profile under a different username.
I was a fully paid up user , I β€˜m not pocketing anything from this , it really stressed me out .

I’m usually very vigilant but fell for this one Β£47.99 learnt a valuable lesson think with you head not anything else πŸ˜‚
Also before parting with card details check the site properly should have known better.

I’ve had a similar thing from a man
He sent a link which had from POF Team at the bottom but like everyone on here has been saying asking for username etc then goes onto ask for bank details

I might have gotten scammed but the page they sent to me spelled "password" as "pasword" which clued me in that there was a problem.

I found out that some of the links supplied use ndwhvl.com as a payment processor, if you ask your bank for a chargeback there processing account gets terminated and banned.

https://twitter.com/smokingwheels/status/1388866435095568384[*1] is the second one that has tried it on me.

Good Job I found this post, was sent a link to this by another β€˜Member’. In just her second message. Thought it a bit strange. Member now blocked and reported.

I had 2 people try to get me with this today but it’s really obvious what they are doing. Nobody is that pushy and desperate to video chat someone they don’t know unless something is going on.

I work for a law enforcement agency, a common denominator with online scammers that are not from the USA is the use of β€œhun,” or β€œdear.” Someone tried to scam me with this right now. I took a screenshot of the profile and of the website and reported it to POF. If you upgrade your account, you shouldn’t be entering your credit card on anything since this is a subscription based service.

I just had a guy send me a link to make phone call - it took me to another link that looked like POF official but when it asked for card I said he’ll no. Mind you, this was just for a phone call not video and there is a call option on POF account page (when you try it, POF gives a disconnect message which makes you think you might need to complete verification link - but then the credit card requirement comes up - wow!)

This happened to me from a guy. He was so
Kind during regular chats then wanted to call me to confirm I was β€œreal” told me they confirm your age with the cc and it’s part of the process. Nope immediately blocked him.

Sorry, but you deserved to be scammed. How can you be so stupid to fall for this?? And giving your credit card like that… are you so desperate that you don’t think????
