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.

Effing scammers !!!

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!!!

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

Is the below part of this scam or is this legitimate? I thought the LIVE system let you do video calls, but I haven't set it up yet. However this link drew my attention.

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?

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*!!

i was one of these such idiots page looked legit even have a POF .com web address with pof ulc and media stuff copied of legitimate pof website thought pof could do something about this fraud and copyright infringement wouldn't you if it were your legit business??? also your act wil change sex you loose your photos your eyes or body type might change too

I always thought this was a scam but a little internet research has confirmed it. It’s happened 3 times today.

I am a lady on POF and Last time I was on POF I was asked to do live video call. I tried. The person sent me 4 links then I found I had $200 deducted from my bank account. The bank would not help me.

If you are going to confront these scammers, report them first or their account will disappear and you won't be able to. They do this to protect their stolen account from being reported and deleted.

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.
