Badoo

Waste of time and you have to pay to meet women not free like it says false advertising sucks don't waste your time and money on this stupid dating site

I have been off and on for a few years. I usually quit due to the poor standards of men. They moan about single mums, baggage, women wanting money etc, fair enough, but so do men. I have met men who don't work, want money to fund their cannabis addiction, you to drive 80 miles for a leg over, or moan about an ex who cheated and won't let them see their kids.
In reality, most are narcissistic fathers who can't be bothered. Narcissistic pot heads who just want supply. Narcissistic people with unrealistic goals moaning about narcissistic women doing the same.
If you're genuine and sincere like myself, you've no hope. If you don't pay, you won't get messages, won't get your profile shown to these narcs who can't come with anything intelligent but " how's u". Can't hold a conversation. Clearly sit on their lap top all day looking for something that doesn't exist. The tiniest amount of effort and they 'think' they've got all these other options. No. Maybe a smile would get you less hand jobs. I'm no model myself but I'm certainly not ugly. Im only looking for love. But narcs don't do love. Profiles are fake.
And what's with the married dudes stuck in a loveless marriage. I'd say marriage is a red flag. Ffs get a divorce if you're that unhappy.
I've had men refuse to talk further because I wanted a date and wasn't going to invite him here or me visit him. They don't do mutual ground. I guess old bald men with no smile are in demand. So many choices.
They even lie about wanting a relationship if they think they're getting laid. No morals.
How can you expect to lie down with a stranger? Ew.
They'd pass you in the street and expect you to notice them 'not looking at you' but get brave on the app. It's like everything else. They just want an ego boost.
If you can't validate yourself, you're lost.

I too was on the auto pay thing for the one day which is about $2.99 and all of the sudden I was charged $159.99 through my paypal. I tried asking what happened and they claim I did this one click method. I wasn't even on the app when it happened. So I asked to return my settings back and a refund. They told me it was non refundable by their terms and conditions. I read the terms and conditions it says I can cancel within 14 days and I was sent this reply when I asked about it:

Thanks for your message.

I'm sorry to hear that you'd like to cancel your purchase.

Unfortunately, since you instantly receive the benefits of Badoo Premium once purchased, this type of service is non-refundable. Services for which the benefits are instantly redeemed, like Premium, are exempt from the 14 day refund period. Therefore, you lose your right to a refund as soon as you purchase Badoo Premium.

We recommend that you check the terms and conditions for all future purchases before proceeding.

No where on their terms and conditions does it mention that! I did not consent to such a purchase but they claim I did and refuse to abide by their own terms and conditions. These are scam artists and something needs to be done about them.

Get away from BADOO ABSOLUTELY NIGHTMARE.

Badoo used to be pretty usable for free: it had lots of filters, and you could hunt for new members. That's all gone now.

And it's become a lot harder to message anyone attractive. Most of the time if you find someone cute or sexy there will either be no option to chat, or else you click on chat and it says their mail box is full but you can still pay to message them.

And they are constantly hounding you to use pay services like sending gifts and stickers, get your message read first, get your profile seen more, and it goes on and on ad nauseam.

You can't filter out smokers and single moms anymore, it's like Tinder now, no filters. As a result, most people don't even say anything about themselves in their profiles, no real need to now that they know they won't be filtered out.

I give Badoo two stars because they have built a pretty slick website (didn't try the phone app), but holy crap have they gotten GREEEEDY! They must be making a lot of money pimping these girls out. But if you want to try your luck for free I would say don't even bother with Badoo, it's an exercise in futility.

Don't you think it would be better and safe to have all profiles verified! There so so many fake ones you can tell by the pictures. All the ones in greater London are not in this country? You put in the area and people come up who live miles away! But yes be careful, lot of meant after money, a lot of them say they live in the UK WHEN THEYRE ACTUALLY AMERICAN! If you have kick and go on your maps, if the kik location isn't in the UK it will show like the one I was chatting to - told me he was in Croydon turns out he was in waterloo- Canada

I signed up for the unlimited lifetime account for $79.99 through the website, since the app tries to charge you $159.99. But, when I went to check my account, they had charged me $79.99 twice. Obviously outraged, I cancelled my account immediately in the hopes to get my money back. Well, PayPal was willing to refund one of the $79.99 charges, but told me to contact Badoo to get my other $79.99 back. I emailed Badoo (which turned out to be a mistake), not only did they ban me from the site and app for having "multiple accounts" (I've only made one, no idea what the hell they are talking about) and I was told that because of that, they didn't have to refund my money, because I'm in violation of their terms of service. So, because Badoo is being no help, I'm trying to get my bank to refund my money. Hopefully that goes better than dealing with Badoo. Because, even if they let me keep the unlimited account, which they didn't. It disappeared after a day. I'm still out $79.99 because of my permaban.

Don't ever give your credit card details to Badoo, charges out of nowhere.

The whole concept of this application is to scam people using it.

There are traps everywhere in the application to steal money from its customers.

NEVER GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION TO THEM.

Was threaten by a user! Wanted to marry me! Now I can't deactivate my account, because I forgot my password. Badoo wont answer me. They send me blank emails

They will charge you $60 without you knowing. Their automatic subscription after that FREE TRIAL is going to surprise you.

I deleted my credit card info from the APP and they still MANAGED to CHARGE ME. Isn't it FAIR to think that if you delete your credit card info, they will just unsubscribe you THEMSELVES afterwards? BUT NO! They said DELETING CREDIT CARD INFO IS JUST FOR THE TOPUPS. They still GOT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO for the automatic PREMIUM even if you delete it! WHAT A SCAM!

Customer service thru feedback is NOT HELPFUL. They will say they understand you for your frustration but will just show the "terms and conditions" in email and make pre-generated responses after you make valid reasons as to why you deserve A REFUND.

The APP in itself is designed to FOOL YOU. Their unsubscribe button is so small and gray that it took me a few tries to figure out!

WHAT A SCAM!

You know you are being tricked when you are first promised an easy account setup, but then at every click of a button Badoo wants more and more information. There is no end to it. What keeps it from one day asking you for your credit card details to continue using the site?

Badoo is truely the biggest piece of trash ever! After stealing my photos, and letting me click around 3x it starts asking for more.

Badoo totally disrespects users wishes. It shows how the Chinese seem so used to users having no rights or privacy whatsoever. Stay away from this communist controlled espionage site that will rape your privacy every which way it can and make you pay for it with your soul. Pure evil!

This site should be banned in all other country, as it's a delivery platform for espionage and trade sanctions should be imposed. This site is worse than a platform used by ISIS to spread terrorist propaganda. This site turns you into a prostitute, because it is forceful and disrespectful of users. After using this site you feel filthy and used, like someone took you up the bum.

No serious, I have never used such a $#*!ty platform before in my life. Evade this site at all cost. Stay away, keep running and don't look back!

Omg met my wonderful boyfriend on here when only signed up coz there was a rumour that someone supiour to me was on it so I was doing some detective work never found him but I found my soul mate

Be aware INTERNET FRAUD, UNAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL FROM BANK ACCOUNT
SCAMMERS They charged me for lifetime subscription. I wanted to pay for a day access. Now they refuse to give me my money back, they state that I authorised a one click payment by entering my details. Yes, but I wanted a one click payment for a day access. And the amount is non refundable. Be very careful with them, they are a scamming company They know what they are doing. Just read reviews of others
Just imagine, you enter your details into company's website to purchase one thing, you check that you are purchasing that exact thing before making an actual purchase, however later on you see that they charged you for the most expensive thing that you had no intention of buying
They refuse to give you money
Make sure you don't give them any of your details

I only joined yesterday and paid £3 for badoo premium as it states that i would ve able to chat to woman so paid the £3 and sent message to one woman and it went to a page today to pay for more credits so i thought may be another service so i havs now paid for this so to chat to all. Womem but the £5 was only to chat to thst woman because i went to chat to another woman it come.up with the same message having to buy more credits. Bloody hell this is a scam so i am going to report this to FCA so no one else gets scammed like this. I am on match and i because I'm new they offersd me a one cost of £30 for a period of 6 months so this is £5 per months ans chatted to a few women now so this Badoo is not a dating website its just a money making scam

I clicked one week premium membership just to try the site but They took out one month membership payment plus. Simply they stole my money without my permission!

Beware of this site and never buy any of their services like credits or premium. They uses all the legal ways how to scam you like subscription payment you do not know about (if you wont cancel, they will charge you). Once you put payment informations of you card it will stay there they will then put a lot of ads like buy premium and if you are not careful what you click on they will sell you their most expensive product on one click! Also they uses fake profiles and messages how the hottest girls want to talk with you and other bullsh*t. They uses also lots of psychological ways how to make you think its a good idea to buy premium. Like there is a hot girl looking to hear from you but if you want to talk with her you have to buy some credit an so on They uses lots of other ways how to charge you so be careful because there is no way they will refund your payment! Also spam emails from them are so annoying. There is no contact details of what company or country or anything is behind this site! Your money will end up in UK and I do not have to say that this country is the centre of scammers. I was charged for lifetime premium with unauthorised credit card payment!

I hit the "send" button to send a message and it sent a "gift" sticker instead and automatically charged me $9.99 to my PayPal. Now I'm in the process of disputing the PayPal charge.

Be very carefull. At first, Badoo says that it's free but, of course, the functionalities it provides with the free package will lead you nowhere.

So, I accepted to pay for a month period, just to see if it works and how.

But, surprise surprise, what you're buying is not a membership, but credits. And most of the time you use a functionality (for example, sending an email to someone you have an interest in), they charge the credits. And the credits they charge constantly changes (to write a message to a person, it will range from 0 to 300 credits, depending on some sort of ranking that I could not make sense of). So right there, it's a scam, because they don't tell you that when you get the credit card out.

It does not stop there.

They will also charge you other fees, on your credit card, while not telling you. Oh, maybe they are telling you, but in fonts so small, buried under a ton of other informations, that even an ant could not read it without magnifying glasses...

It happened to me. As I write this, I'm in the process of asking a reimbursement for one of the fees they charged me (against my willing consent). And guess how that is going? Even though I provided my credit card bill, "they cannot trace these transactions"...

Avoid Badoo...

Have been using Badoo for years, i dont know why am block. Pls try and retify i and send me an email at *******@yahoo.com so ican meet up with my friends pls thanks for your understanding.

ALL THEY WANT IS TO STILL YOUR CREDETIALS.
This site should be down all the time. I have been canceled all the time for gods knows why! Run from these kind of service guys, get away doesn't worth it, your time and money.
Trash!

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

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.

On some nights during the week they make out male/female members are premim members so it tries to get you to sign up cis you cannot reply to them. Please wise up and be careful
