POF : POF are info thieves, took my account info and then tell me I need a cell phone to verify!
Bullshit this is, I can’t believe they won’t make you aware of such an invasive step to verify your account.
I literally don’t have a cell-phone, so to me it’s a policy with discriminatory consequences.
It wasn’t like this when I signed up years ago. If you want to have such security measures then fine but be transparent about it, don’t steal my information.

FUCK POF, and you can shove it, Markus, you spineless cunt!

It is not bullshit at all. They now ask for a cell phone number due to the fact that the past 2 years their site has been flooded with fake profiles and bots. They got so many complaints about it they had to take their security measures a step further and start asking for a phone number. FYI most dating sites and apps ask for a phone number when signing up so they can send you a confirmation code, to make sure you are not a bot or a fake. They are trying to get rid of all the bots completely. You will be hard pressed to find a site that doesn’t ask for your number or another form of verification.

Also Markus sold POF to match back in 2015 so match now owns POF. Markus doesn’t own it anymore but his name is still attached to it. So whatever bad feelings you harbor towards the site you need to take that up with match.
