POF : Hacked… can someone explain what happened?
Around 2am my phone starts going off back to back with alerts from POF. I knew something was awry as I had about 25 messages within 4 minutes. I log on and see that they are all white men. I’m a black woman, so that is very rare. Some said we matched and others are responding to “hey” messages apparently sent by me. I go to my profile and it has been changed to a white woman and my Info is all different. I changed my password and deleted her pics and updated my info. But now I think I’m hidden if that makes sense. I legit have no likes, views or messages which does not happen. It’s like I’m invisible.
Also on the meet me feature it keeps showing me the same men on a loop. Never changes. I swipe left and they come right back up. I went to the hidden feature and it won’t even toggle on or off. I reached out to customer service and no answer. Do you know what has happened? Was it because of the hacker? How do they get our log in info? How can I fix this short of starting another page which I don’t want to do.

Hey DolledUpShawty, if you can send us a DM with your profile info we would be happy to have our support team look into this for you – so sorry you haven’t received a response yet.
This happened to me…. i was turned into a white blond (im a black guy) and i was pingged over and over… the hacker and I were arguing to each other on a message to one of the guys they messaged.
its amzing how some ppl would go to a forign link becuas esome blond said to
I don’t know about the hack and how that happened. Sorry that happened to you. But, I would be wary of responding to a Reddit account that claims to be from POF. I could create an account and claim that I’m an IT Director from POF and try to get unsuspecting individuals to give me their log in credentials.
I would only correspond with POF through the website or app.
In regards to the « Meet Me » feature, I’m experiencing the same thing. I’m guessing it’s a temporary glitch.
Whatever happened that would make you feel the way you did, about white men contacting you, was wrong. I wish only justice for you so you can be heard, acknowledge, healed (yes there might always be scars), and loved the way everyone should. Minus predators-f*** them to he**.
