A strange one. Name changed.

I was sent a message saying partner on Plenty of fish telling me to check

I looked couldn't find him but his email came up as an active user! He says a woman is setting up accounts in his name with his email. Why would anyone do that?

Says he is not on plenty of fish and not cheating 🙄

If he’s high profile, someone may be trying to cause trouble between you. Sending the message anonymously and then blocking strikes me as intentionally trouble-making behaviour akin to lobbing a grenade into your relationship and then running off. If someone had proper information for you, I don’t think they would do that.

Very true.

Thanks

So, the account wasn't verified, which suggests that whoever tried to re-open the old account doesn't have access to his emails. Yeah, sounds a bit like a trouble maker for me.

If you could see the account online, even if it didn't have any details, and it said welcome back, it means it had been verified, just details not added (or deleted). It also means that it's his previous account that he had before, perhaps reactivated. If it hadn't been verified you'd not be able to see it at all.

I know you have said above OP that he said 'she has done this before' but you can only use an email once for POF, if you close the account you need to use a different email to set up another one as a different user etc.

The message was sent to me on social media and a screenshot. The social media account appeared to have been set up just to message me (or others I don't know) it doesn't have pictures apart from cat and dog pictures. I read the message and the user could see I had read and then blocked me! It's a bit odd and very childish.
Oh god, someone who works with my DH does this thing where she will spend months sometimes pursuing men, sleep or sext with them and then block them and tell their wife's/gfs when she gets bored of them. I know because she boasts about it to everyone and I was stuck sitting next to her at a Christmas do (before covid) and she likes to tell me about her latest "victim" when I run into her. It's absolutely appalling behaviour.
