Badoo

I was a paying customer for less than a week before I deleted my profile.
Baddoo is a haven for criminals and scammers. Every single person that contacted me was a scammer and not from my country even though had the filter set to a 50 mile radius. When I viewed the scammer's profile they were years old, which told me Baddoo does not police their site and made a den of thieves.
This site is not safe and should be banned from the United States.

I've been on Badoo for about 2 years but recently when I tried to unlock premium I got charged but never received it. I'm very disappointed because they make it so hard to contact them through normal procedures like email or text. Everywhere I looked online just directed me to other websites or more BS. This is the reason I avoided other websites but now it seems to be a general practice with all these websites, like the read charge just to see if someone is actually reading your text. I guess it doesn't matter anymore that there are people really trying to connect, they just want there euros/dollars. I'm not sad about losing my €2.10 but I will be reporting them to the proper authorities for a scam as it apparently happens more often than not. The End.

I pulled a Truthfinder report on myself out of curiosity and I was linked to having a "Badoo" account. I have NEVER been on this site and I did NOT sign up for one. Someone is using my information and images on their site. I have contacted "Badoo" support and provided the link. I sincerely hope this gets resolved ASAP! Not cool.

Badoo is a scam, they collect on your card and even when I wrote to not renew, they took more money.
Also, I paid to read and write but half the women just block you

I joined Badoo last month and it's been okay. Some things I love and others get on my nerves a bit. I've been using wejustfit.com for best part of a year now so im more familiar with that site and had a lot of good dates, but someone told me that adding another site to your list of memberships really helps. I can see that of course, it definitely makes good sense. Im not sure if ill keep badoo as my second subscription long term but it's fine for now.

I thought of this app as a better alternative for Tinder. But I've bleen blocked 3 times on this app for no particular reason. Even though I certainly didn't do anything wrong - I wasn't rude to anyone, my pics were fine with no nudity or any ads, I took a selfie to confirm my account as the system asked, I even purchased some additional packages to get this app work properly several times, and I certainly wasn't involved in anything illegal like selling drugs, texting to minors etc.
This is a dating app, right? So if my "Hi, can we get acquainted?" is interpreted as "sexual harrasment" then this is anything but a dating app. Or do you expect your users to hold conversations like some robots or monks in order to avoid some 'taboo' words? As I see, this is an app where you can get blocked for any reports from any users, even if you try to be as nice as possible. They can report you for no reason, just because 'you're not their type', and the system will then block your account for the report that is completely unfounded in nature.

I am using Badoo on PC and first they crippled the portal so it looked like $#*! on PC and now they changed authentication method from username/password to sending verification email. Except they don't send any email. I checked spam and searched inbox. They never sent any email. So they effectively locked me out of the Badoo account. Site is run by bunch of idi0ts.

Filled with fake accounts that constantly delete themselves. Most profiles that are 'near' you are actually in South America or SE Asia. App charges you for the littlest thing. Such a blatant scam. I can't believe this is allowed

First, let's pull the coat on the plethora of scammers and fake profiles on this site. Badoo takes no security measures to prevent these fraudulent profiles. Infact, this has become a breeding site for leeches and parasites alike, and badoo helps to feed them.
Now let's talk about how Badoo steals money from members and legit profilers by mysteriously and surreptitiously losing a member's information and blocking their profiles after Badoo has charged money on a members account. If it smells like crap, it's definitely $#*!!

It seems all these guys are looking to hook up off this site and getting the run around they're getting scammed, and reporting fake profiles. I learned from industry reports that the males on any date site ratio to females is about 80 to 1 on the straight sites and about 300 to 1 on the purported hookup sites. You have better odds in a crowded bar. If I want a hookup I go to the sites where I can do just that whenever I want to and leave these phoney sites alone. It always seems these users credit cards get overcharged and hit with recurring charges which I don't doubt. I can't for the life of me figure out why people who want a little sugar honey avoid the real deal and sign up on a phoney site.

I used this site off and on for 10 years. I met two gals on here. Both were in cities away from where I live. Both were women I saw on more than one occasion. And both women were wonderful. There were certainly lots, and lots of misses. But hey, being married and meeting up with two wonderful women while traveling was fantastic.

I met this guy on Badoo and his name was Jason and we talked for weeks everyday all day and I found out he was married and his name wasn't Jason but Alex Hays and it was embarrassing and humiliating and hurtful. You can basically put whatever you want on this site and if you are a good person you will be a target for these people.

Infiltrated with scammers using Chinese women pictures. They chat you up with fake background, pictures etc. trying to get your to do online business or invest in phoney markets so you've to transfer $ to them.

This is the worst dating site ever they blocked my account for something I didn't do and won't reactivate it people be careful with this site they can screw you over worst dating app every don't go here

This is very bad and untrustble company.because if someone like another and you living and blocking thire accounts.

I don't think it's the fault of the site itself exactly but I've chatted with two people now whose profiles say they are in my city but when I start to message them then they say that they are in an entirely different country. Not sure how this comes about and it may be them that are scammers. Very odd to me and it sort of ruins the experience as well. It's frustrating to get along with someone you think is nearby but oh wait they are in Venezuela or Morocco lol. Green card scams perhaps? Is there any way to verify locations?

It is Friday, Sept 22,2023.
I signed up on Tuesday of this week, 9/19/23... and immediately got messages from some inappropriately young, incredibly good looking, obvious fake profiles.
So, on to the real activity after deleting all of the immediate crap.
The one huge problem, is there really are very few women on the site.
Most are not in the area their profile states... and are just looking for $$$.

I'm shocked at how bad it is...and have deleted the app entirely.

Good luck...

I cannot believe the audacity of this app. I downloaded it and signed up for a free trial. Within the first hour I noticed a lot of unsavory people that there would be no way I would date so I deleted my profile. Not just uninstalled but DELETED. So at that point you would think I wouldn't get charged, well I was wrong. I got hit with a pending charge. Immediately contacted them, on October 4th. Somehow that charge got dropped. Then I got charged on the October 10, 11, 12, and 14th. My first email back from them, well it looks like you don't have an account is what they said. EXACTLY. Next email was can you show proof that you got charged, all the personal information that I didn't want to send but I did. Then I got a response of my email with my card information duplicated back to me. 10 days later I got a "Sorry for the delay...I can absolutely look into this for you. To help us locate the transaction, could you please let me know the following details?

- The last four digits of the credit card used to make the purchase
- The type of card used (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- The date of the transaction
- The card expiration date
- The name printed on the card" message. Mind you I've already done this.

So today another email. "I'm sorry for the delay in responding to you.

I've taken a look at this and can see that you you got lifetime premium as a promo deal.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else."

Uh yeah you can give me my money back. Lifetime premium? First off are you saying your giving me a lifetime premium for free or are you saying I signed up for it. The answer is no I don't want either. Just give me my freaking 36 something dollars back this is RIDICULOUS.

MOST RECENT email as of 1 hour ago. I got the what card did you use email. I have never dealt with a more scammy website app ever. I've already cancelled that card replaced it and contacted my bank. I hope you guys get sued.

This app sucks. I've had 5 or more fake ladies, try to contact me with fake profiles. They do a lousy job. This company

Dont get why people complain about this site. Sure, it's not as good as some of the lesser known sites like WeJustFit but still, it can get you results if you play things patiently and dont expect to find the woman of your dreams in five minutes. Sure theyre a big company with big advertising budgets but you still have to make an effort. I mean come on, guys, love takes time! In my experience and ive been dating online for a long time now, you get what you put in.

Bought a lifetime VIP from them. And I was blocked after a few days of use. Allegedly for indecent behavior. Although there was nothing like that. I want my money back! I will sue this fraudulent company and write hundreds of negative reviews on all possible resources. These are scammers! Never buy VIP from them. Then they just block you! Give me my money back!
I will be suing them for libel and fraud.

Since January, Badoo Europe has become massively infested with AI-generated fakes - there are thousands. There are also active hackers, scammers, thieves, & dangerously illegal aliens - but Badoo has taken no action against most complaints. I have screenshots of literally hundreds of AI fakes, but have to Photoshop out my identity 1st.

I love this app, really helped me find a lovely girl, to spend some time with. Highly recommended specially if you are just looking for lovely time.
