Need help getting OFF the dating site my mom suggested, please?

Question

Due to my lack of success dating, my stepmom suggested I get on the dating website plentyoffish.com

Within a day or two of my joining, I had all sort of guys interested in me, of which all but 2 were very old married men. (40+, I'm 19, and don't really want to date guys more than 7 or 8 years older than me) Of course this really upset me, so I decided I ought to delete my account. It took me 20 minutes to find the form that you use to delete your account, and filled it out and submitted it 6 times. Nothing happened. So I found their contact page and filled out that form in order to inform them that I didn't want to use their service any more. I did this three times, and also nothing happened. I clicked "Submit" and it just went back to the regular help pages, just as it did when I tried to delete my account.

Now, 3 days later, my account still is on their site, and I've replied to every email sent to me by their customer care email account informing them of how angry this is making me, and how much I'd like to have my account removed, and they still aren't doing anything or acknowledging my concerns.

My account is still getting lots of attention from older men, and this is making me really uncomfortable that it won't let me delete ANY of my personal information, or, at the very least, my picture. Has anyone had this problem before who can help, or knows what I can do to make this stop?

Answer 1

Honestly, you should either get a new email to block out all the messages you receive from them or go into your email and look for an option to block messages from the website. I believe that if you login to the site, they also allow you to customise your options so that you can opt out of receiving notifications every single time that you get a message.



In essence, if you do both of these things, you won't login to the site or get any emails about it, so it's virtually nonexistent in your world. If you don't get feedback from customer care this is probably the best choice you can make, unless there is a phone number you can call.

Answer 2

Here is a suggestion don''t reply back to those creepers and or change ur pictures on the website to ugly scary ones and tell them that is how u really look like. This will scare them real good! Make sure the picture is really realistic too! and dont forget to have fun while doing so! I bet none of them will ever contact u again and if they ask about the other pictures that are of u just say that u stole them off the internet! Very believable cause u can get anything online now in days!

Answer 3

I never had that problem or problem closing my account there after I met someone, how about you create a new email address and change where the mail from there goes? And just never check that email address?



I have one e-mal account only for the dating sites and only check the sight between guys, actually there are those men who when there is a new user send the mail out they do slow then stop, just make it spam in your e-mail box

Answer 4

POF is a free site, You must be doing something wrong. "Cowboy" is a moderator. type his name in user search, and ask him, or any other moderator, they can help you. Until you can get rid of it,

you can hide your profile . Click on Edit Profile, you'll see where it says click here to hide your profile, then no one can see you, And while you're invisible, you can keep looking for the place to delete your account, I think you have to click on mail settings, and it's in there somewhere.

Answer 5

i haven't been on there but maybe you can just make your profile extremely confidential as you can and then stop getting on the website. Like take off any pictures and information you have of yourself and just ignore the website and go about your business.

Answer 6

Ah, the joys of meeting people over the internet. I don't know how you can make this stop, but I know this one lesson you'll have learned the hard way.

Answer 7

You had to use a credit card to sign up. Call your credit card company and tell them that you cancelled your account but they are still charging you for the service. They should deny them payment and eventually your account will be taken down for non payment.

Answer 8
