They are an absolute terrible company to deal with buyer. Beware don't spend your money. I think after my subscription and my credits are out. I'm gonna cancel everything because the company is a total waste of time and money and energy. And I never did a thing wrong either.

They are an absolute terrible company to deal with buyer. Beware don't spend your money. I think after my subscription and my credits are out. I'm gonna cancel everything because the company is a total waste of time and money and energy. And I never did a thing wrong either.

Tip for consumers:
Just save your money and use a different dating service because this company is brutal. I’ve
had to contact them for the past two days because they told that my credits expired and they don’t expire because I bought them through Apple.

Absolutely brutal policies. Total and utter nonsense. To begin with I spent $200 purchasing credits from this company and now they're telling me if they don't use them by a certain timeframe my credit will expire which it doesn't say anywhere when they were purchase credits through Apple. And, now they blocked my account for saying something wrong too. With 2350 credits of mine paid for through Apple

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from this company buyer beware

They are essentially stealing information when they don't delete personal data on the account example pictures after an unfair block. People unite who have been wronged by them to make a report to the authorities about Badoo as they violate Privacy laws of your country like in Canada.

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.

never buy vip account from them

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

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 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?

This company simply does not care about anyone who might sign on to their website. They do NOT answer emails, they do NOT have any phone communications, they only send solicitation messages as if someone is interested in your ad. There is absolutely NO reason to send this site any of your money. Just look at the reviews! That says it all.

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 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.

A lot of the men on Badoo look upset,like they're hungry and angry. I don't know about anyone else,but your looking for something more than a Badoo boo to screw then smile,show some personality. There were some that looked like they care about appearance and look nice. Some actually hold a decent conversation but some I think are looking for Backpage part two ijs. I'm not adding people's pics or screenshots of conversations but some of y'all need to do better stop coming on dating apps for booty

Tip for consumers:
Don't give out your information to strangers some of these ppl aren't who they say they are some are just looking for a good time

There's a girl in my city that has the same account in multiple accounts with every other dating app and she always has excuses and I told her that it's ridiculous how you're always playing games in line all the time and she's always matching with me and I tell her every time why do you always match with me when you block my number every time and then you're always playing games and making excuses and you're always sending me nudes and it never goes anywhere? They blocked me for sexual-harassment are you kidding me?

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 $#*!!

On the first day I was charges $29.99 for credit I didn't ordered on top of my $24.99 premium membership.
They have a policy of no refund so, I had to go trough PayPal to ask for a refund.
Believe me when I say the site is not worth it and I won't recommend it for anyone.

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.

I've found and reported hundreds off profiles on badoo yet they still appear why? Because these are fake accounts set up by badoo staff to generate money for the company! The admin never reply to complaints and clearly they know what they are doing because if the site is genuine then the profiles should be available at all times but they aren't! Scammers site

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.

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.

Dangerous site, even with extensive computer protection.

I have been on a few dating sites, there all about the same! Don't expect to find do price center charming, it's entertainment at the most! But this site. OMG... I have been approached again and again by men claiming g to be in the military on "piece keeping missions" either in Africa or Afghanistan! And I mean one after the other. Ladies be careful because this site is riddled with scammers claiming to be in the military!

As a newcomer to the online dating scene, I was initially apprehensive about navigating through various platforms. However, my experience with badoo completely shattered any doubts I had. The user-friendly interface provided me with a seamless journey right from the moment I signed up.
