Pof Scammers
Keeping all your conversations on POF is advisable for as long as it’s possible. The reason behind this kind of recommendation is the fact that scammers often want to move their discussions from POF to WhatsApp, Facetime, or your email. That way, they can get their hands on more of your data. Protect and Verify Your POF Account. As I wrote this Plenty Of Fish review I wanted to learn more about scams found on the site. There are many people that claim that Plenty Of Fish is full of scammers. According to the POF website, they work hard to make sure all scammers are deleted from their site.
Scammer
He went by the name Dr David Leuis Johnson. He was in Syria for 24 months contract and had to have all this money to get home. Wanted to marry me and spend the rest of his life with me and his 15 yr old daughter. That his wife Brenda passed away 7 years ago and the daughter Sandra lives in Florida. We videoed and he had a doctors coat on that said URILOGY WITH THE NAME RENE SOTELO. HE GOT MAD because I looked him up. He also told me his birthday was 11/08/1961. It is not. 11/061/1961. And he lives in California and is not an orthopedic surgeon he is a urologist.
I called his clinic and they said he does work there and I asked if he was the head doctor and the girl said yes. Look at his post under Rebe Sotelo. He did scam me big time. I told him I was calling the California Dr code of ethics and report him. He said that he went to the UN and said that the head person there said they were going to get the FBI involved because of his position as a 'military' Dr.
Also said his money was tied up with the military and can't get to it. He has a box full of money 💰 at the customs.
He's a sweet talker big time. Ladies BE AWARE!!
Why are there fake profiles on Plenty Of Fish Dating?
Money. That is virtually the only reason fake profiles are created on POF.com. Fake profiles on ANY dating site are generally one of three things:
- Someone attempting to market or sell something through Plenty Of Fish. This is usually someone who is affiliate marketing another dating or adult related website that pays a commission for each person they get to sign up. The way this usually works is that the first email the reply back to you with says something along the lines of hey, 'check out my more complete dating profile here [link]' or 'I have some more naughty pictures you can look at here [link]'. In fact, there are some people who use our POF Auto Message Sender software for this purpose, even though it is not a practice we agree with or endorse.
- Someone hoping to lure a member of Plenty Of Fish to send them money through the practice of catfishing. These people are usually in another country and can be a room filled with people performing this scam. Even if only one out of one hundred people get tricked into falling in love with the fake profile they create on Plenty Of Fish, that still means thousands of dollars being scammed out of the victim of the catfish.
- Loneliness. Sometimes people create profiles because they are lonely. Although this is the least common reason for a fake profile on any dating site, it happens. These people are either older or less attractive, so by putting up fake pictures of someone more attractive than them, and making a fake profile that is a more attractive person than the real person behind the fake profile, will attract more attention from other POF members.
Pof Scammers List
Plenty Of Fish is pretty good at filtering out bad profiles. One thing that is a dead giveaway that usually gets the fake profile deleted pretty quickly is putting a url or web address in their profile, which is why the fake profile creator's main goal is to get you off the Plenty Of Fish site and onto another one or at least get your communications with them off the Plenty Of Fish dating site.
