Plentyoffish members recently received this email:

As most of you know my name is Markus and I run Plentyoffish.com by myself out of my apartment. There are now millions of people on plentyoffish.com and one of the hardest things to figure out is if people are who they say they are or genuine.

Yesterday I put up a new feature and called it testimonials. Basically anyone that YOU have added to YOUR favorites list can now write a testimonial about you and it will appear on your profile.

To begin writing testimonials for your friends and people who have YOU on THEIR favorites list go here and click on the testimonial link under the users name. This is of course assuming that people have placed you on their favorites list.

Nobody loves me at POF so I can’t say how it works. It appears as though Markus basically cloned HotOrNot as you can see from the pictures below.
