I reported two uses (darlingstef16 and PGHMMA). One claims to be in the Navy (I'm retired Navy) but gave me an Army rank and a job that isn't in the Navy.

I reported the user and he is still active. The other person stole a photo from a News article online about a soldier from Texas with PTSD. The guy is OUT of the military though the profile says other wise AND puts the guy in Pennsylvania - the real guy has a beard now and lives in NY.

I got tired of scammers portraying military and I resigned.

POF either has an admin reviewing profiles that is ALSO a scammer or just doesn't care. Either way I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have terrorists on the site trying to recruit.

Reason of review: Lack of validation of whom people are.

POF Pros: Free.

POF Cons: People stealing identities.

Location: Indiana, Pennsylvania

I also received contact from Tomhacket601 who claimed to be an Army Ranger in Syria and was returning to the states in June. Within two days of chatting he is asking me for $400 worth of I-tune cards.

He said because his children are in Australia living with his sister. He also said his wife died of lung cancer. I think it is a disgrace that people steal other people's identities and ask people for money. This is the second time on this site that someone has used the same story.

This person threatened me and said he was in the military and was going to get me and could cover his tracks. I think Plentyoffish should remove these profiles as soon as they are reported.
