Fake accounts
June 20, 2018

I registered badoo after using many other dating networks. After using it for a few months, trying with different styles of clothing, pictures etc, after purchase credits and all extras I can clearly define that more than 90% of the profiles are fake. Even all the approaches I've made texting on different languages, locations and styles I don't get single response from the "cool girls". Its kinda sad, that they pump the website with good looking people just to make you feel you have good chances after you purchase all the extras. Even I don't get messages from matches which is wired, I have written more than 3k profiles and get exactly 5 answers. You make the math. Have tried different approaches which almost always work on other social networks. IRL I have a lot of success, as I think im not just an average dude, but I have more than very good income, and I'm really sporty and good looking so saying you are fat ugly poor guy that is the reason why you don't get responses is very wrong.
Conclusion, don't waste time and money. But mostly time, because time is money :D

Thank you for your feedback.

As Badoo is a free website to join, in some cases there are individuals who create profiles on our site with false intentions. We take the security of our users very seriously and assure you that we do our best to implement the most effective solutions to remove these profiles from Badoo. To assist us in this process, we encourage you to report any profiles to us that you may find suspicious.

We also recommend that you visit the following page to find some safety and security tips: badoo.com/safetytips

If you're not sure why people aren't getting back to you, it might be due to the content of your message and therefore it may be beneficial to try another approach. To potentially increase your reply rate, we recommend that you try to be more creative and use something that will catch a user's attention. For example, rather than copying and pasting the same message to everyone you like, read their profile first, see what they're into and send an appropriate message. Additionally, don't forget to add pictures of yourself with of the best possible quality. This way, we are pretty sure you should get more replies!

Scam, scam, scam
October 14, 2015

Yes, you can find a real person on this site. If you REAL lucky, I mean. And the management doesn't seem to do much to prevent this. I even wonder whether the site is is a scam by itself.

Hey James,

Some people require credits and premium to speak with. This has been put into place to keep the balance as we do not want anyone getting too overwhelmed from the amount of messages they receive from people they have not matched with. We hope you can understand! This was one of the most asked for features from women in our community.
You can always watch our promo videos that circulate to obtain credits for free.

The numbers of fake profiles or whores that want to sell sex (I ever doubt they are woman's or actual people).

You will get bombarded with fake likes, fake profiles, and it keeps on and on and on...

Hi Jay,

We work hard to keep a database of high quality real users, and our moderation team works 24/7 to spot any malicious profiles. We also have a photo verification system in place to prevent fake users from using the app.

We are committed to creating a safe space for dating on our app and we strongly recommend our users to report profiles that are using Badoo maliciously so we can take appropriate action against the accounts.

Regarding our Likes feature, we have taken your feedback onboard for consideration. Badoo will always remain a free app, you can message your matches for free, however Likes and Favourites are a premium feature.

If you would like any more information on this please reach out to us at badoo.com/feedback and we would be happy to go into more detail about this with you.

Thanks!

Fake profiles galore

They gather the ugliest men around, and the most fake profiles in a website. But the funniest part is that everybody live in Manhattan and that is impossible.

I genuinely did want to try this product, but their purposely mis-leading sales/upselling page achieved its goal - I mistakenly ordered something extra that I didn't want. When I realised this, not 5mins after ordering, I IMMEDIATELY emailed to cancel. They replied the next day saying it was too late to cancel and the order had been processed. They are now saying I have to wait and be sent the product and return it, before I get my money back! This is a scam and a fraud and their morals are non-existant. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Badoo allows the police to create fake profiles, pretending to be adults. Badoo, you should not be ok with the police using your website to try to entrap people.

Hey Abdullah! Hmmm, This does not sound right at all especially if you have premium. We do require credits to message some people, but your matches should also be able to message you with no problem. Have you had an account with us before? Please do share your details with us on@BadooHelp and we can look into this for you and get to the bottom of this together

This site is so full of scum so full of fake useless worthless pieces of human trash. The pictures are fake and those that are not fake are at least 8 to 10 years old or longer. Someone might like you and you like them back and then they will never speak to you again. I have met so many people from overseas and then we go from talking maybe one sentence and already they are calling me baby baby this and baby that and oh by the way do you have a bank account can you send me some money please? Badoo is horrible! I would not recommend this site if it was the only one on the planet. It is so bad I finally deleted my account yesterday. I had it up and running for at least a year and I did not talk hardly to anyone and those that I did would never agree to meet up. They would not call they would not do anything. Those that did talk hinted around 2 Money... those that want to proceed and sign up to this horrible disgusting site whatever happens to you from this point on is up to you and will be your fault. Don't say you wasn't warned!

Total BS
October 26, 2015

I have blocked and reported LOTS of guys who sexually harassed me and nothing was EVER done to them. Then one guy asks me if I want to see a picture of his thing, I said no and he sent it anyway so I told him to "f'ing respect my wishes" so I get permanently banned. Yeah those morons are ban happy when you're a female trying to meet a genuily NICE guy but then guys do and say allllll they want without EVER getting banned. The people running Badoo should be shut down and forbid to ever be in charge again because they clearly don't know how to run something. I'm a member on sooooo many sites where I never have issues, I never get into trouble. I was with this fail site for OVER 13 years and got banned from ONE slip after being treated like crap by some arrogant douchbag. Hell some of the people on there message women offering money in exchange for sex and nothing gets done. This site NEEDS to be shut down.

Hey Bob! We are sorry you feel this way. We do have a few ways which you can obtain credits and premium for free by watching our promo videos and inviting friends through the app.
We are quite proud of our set up but always looking for ways to improve and would appreciate it if you could go into this a little bit more. We are not in control of the matching. Matches are based on if the other person likes you and vice verse. When you both like each other this is how the match is formed. If our users are not happy with the options we always recommend adjusting the filters and broadening your distance and age preferences.
We hope you will contact us again on@BadooHelp and let us know your suggestions. We would appreciate it very much!
