Plenty of Fish Username Search: Find Who's Behind a POF Account

Accidentally swiped left on a hottie on POF, and now trying to track them down? Or, have you really hit it off with a POF match and want to know them more before saying yes to a date? You’re in the right place! In this article, we’re showing you 3 ways to search for a POF user by username, or even verify their identities. Read on…

1. Upgrade your POF subscription

POF used to allow users to search by username for free. Unfortunately, for now, the feature is exclusive to its upgraded users. This means that if you haven’t signed up at PoF, or you’re using the free version, you won’t be able to search usernames, in-app or sitewide.

Once you’ve upgraded your plan, the username search bar will be available under the username tab. It helps you locate someone’s profile, but if you feel like running a further check on someone’s online identity, you should move on to Method 2, below.

Starting out as a dating investing service, Social Catfish specializes in not only finding people but also verifying their identities.

Just enter the username, Social Catfish will help you trace the information to the user, find available profiles on 100+ social networks, and run a further check on the found info. Over the years, Social Catfish has helped users uncover thousands of catfishing cases in their tracks.

To trace someone’s POF account, go to Social Catfish Official Website.
Enter the username and click Search.
Within minutes, you’ll receive a detailed report about the person you searched, which may contain the link to their POF profile.

Spokeo is the longest-standing social media finder in the field. Featuring a whopping 12 billion records in its database, it supports searching a person’s footprint on 120+ social networks – POF, Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Reddit – the list goes on.

Another feature Spokeo has is that it offers free basic info, e.g. photos, locations, and family members, which help you sift through dozens of search results and determine the one you’re after.

Go to Spokeo Username Search.
Type the POF username and click SEARCH NOW.
Wait as Spokeo sifts through its database and generates a detailed background report for you.
