Ok, so I am really horrified by what this website has done. It is run by one man named Markus Frind and apparently he is a huge scammer. I can't completely hate this site because I met my boyfriend through it, but here is what happened. Markus/his website almost ruined my relationship.

I was just being a silly paranoid girlfriend yesterday and looked to see if my boyfriend was on the site again...it turned my world upside down when I saw that he was--or so I thought. It was his picture, a username similar to his real name, had actual facts about him that were true, etc.

So I accused him of being on there and cheating on me. Turns out (from my own theory and from the fact that so many people have complained about this site making up fake profiles) that the site re-posted his profile without his permission and/or used his old profile info to make a new one without his permission. The more users the site can claim it has, the more money Markus makes from advertisers and Google!!!

So Markus has put tons of fake profiles in there in order to inflate Markus's user numbers/stats!!!! This is so sick and messes with peoples lives! Please stop this horrible person. Illegal use of information. I also read the other report on here about POF.com saying that someone's actual address, phone number, etc were put up on it without the person's permission and even included children's photos!!! horrible!!!

Moderation?

AUTHOR: Angel - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, December 23, 2009

I don't know who "moderated' my profile (angeldamaged) out of existence, but they are truly morons who obviously prefer that the membership includes liars, outright fraudulent profiles, homosexuals, bi-sexuals, transvestites, and an even wider range of social deviates to look for partners, rather than honest, Christian people who speak plainly.


I haven't even gotten started with you people yet, but you can bet I will be writing a lot more about your site in the weeks and months to come.  Not just here mind you.

STOP spamming my Dating Site

AUTHOR: Dating Site Owner - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, December 05, 2009

First off, I own a small free dating site.  I'm getting SICK and TIRED OF deleting the profiles and reported messages you are leaving on my site to promote yours.  I didn't set up my site to promote yours.  You're such a loser and a dumb a*s to boot.  I hope the word gets out that your site is totally bogus and corrupt.  I know you like to target small sites and say here "look at my big site" full of fake profiles.  I have a small site so I can try and keep fakes off like you. 

Markus..I know you or a dumb employee uses elite anonymous proxy servers to fake your IPs.  I also know your goons write some pretty lame profiles.  It's just pathetic because everyone already knows about your site.  The reason they don't use it is because your are a scam artist p***k.  I don't advertise on your site without your permission.  Please, please, please, don't advertise on mine.   Honestly, maybe this is why we can't have free sites on the internet.  It pays to SPAM them. 

Thanks

maybe

AUTHOR: Ashley - (U.S.A.)

Ever stop for one second to think your boyfriend might be lying to you? I know men will make up any story to avoid getting caught cheating.

My bet would be that your boyfriend did it, and lied to you about it.

Ludicrous claim, makes little sense

AUTHOR: Uniesse2 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, July 09, 2009

If he looks like a cheater and acts like a cheater and posts a modified profile on the site, then he most likely is one!

POF is a free site, with one guy running it, and literally millions of legitimate members....why on earth would Markus take the time to take peoples info and create bogus profiles?

I have been a member there on and off for a couple of years and have had no problems EXCEPT with people posting bogus profiles....not POFs fault.

If you are snooping around on your BF you already dont trust him, if you are still together maybe you should hire a PI to have a look, then we will see you on cheaters!

Live and learn
