WHY?
December 24, 2015

I wonder why this site is so popular. You won't find quality profiles like on Mingle2day

Scam
December 21, 2015

I was asked out, and on the evening he messaged me to say he had arrived at the venue. I couldn't see him anywhere! I sent three messages asking where was he in the venue and he never replied.
I was left standing alone stood up and feeling very angry!
I received no support from badoo to have this person removed! What a bloody joke!

Scam, scam scam
November 21, 2015

I've been on it for about a month, I'm 57 AND have been matched over 300 times, I have contacted everyone of them, mostly 25 to 35 year olds, whose profile pics look as if they were all models. Almost everyone of them were unable to confirm that they were the same person as was in the profile pictures. I asked either for a video chat with audio or a selfie of them holding a piece of paper with today's date. Guess what! All but 2 could provide what I had asked, and the reason why? Well either their phone and/or webcam were both on the blink. First off there are very few women in this age group that would ever consider a man old enough to be their daddy, not unless he is very rich and famous. Secondly it is easy to discern a fraudulent profile, here's a few pointers, if they state in the profile that they are seeking and older man, then stay away. If the written description doesn't match the profile pics ( for instance the picture shows someone with blonde hair, blue eyes, but the description says black hair, green eyes, then stay away. If their actual location is not the same as the one listed on the profile, then stay away. If they have only a couple pictures, then stay away. If they have no score, stay away. If they only have a couple friends on facebook then stay away. If they say they are studyingor working abroad, in Africa, stay away. A couple anecdotes before I finish, one lady wanted to call me to prove she was the same person in the profile, so I humored them, only it was obviously a dude trying to sound like a female, well I burst out laughing and he got mad and cussed me out in a male voice. At another time I asked the suspected fraud for a selfie giving a peace sign, and sure enough she sent it, only she was really a he wearing a wig, and definitely not the women in the profile. By now I consider myself an expert at identifying a fake profile and enjoy exposing them. I'm not sure there are any real people on this site.

Don't know if I agree that it's full of pervs, but then again, I'm not a woman, ha ha. I guess it's allright, but if you really want to get into this stuff, get a real niche application.

*******479 IS A SCAMMER

Plays women by wooing them by being charming, and then after a month or two asks for $350 with some sob story. Save yourselves from this horrific person. Phone number shows up as "DALLAS" when calling.

This site is full of perverts and con men. I was only on for 38 hours and it was like a feeding frenzy. Plus, they refuse to take NO for an answer. I had to delete the whole application.

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.

I will be very honest....I am an old user of Badoo...I started using it about 5 years ago. It was very nice....and i met many women...in fact the love of my life and my future wife is from badoo. Now i don't know what has happened.....it is full of fake profiles...you send 50 messages and nobody replies ??? messages aren't even read. And also after you verify your number and connect to google or facebook...you should have 10 contacts / day. You have them in the first day , after that you are switched back to 5 contacts / day...And of course if you want more....you have to PAY !!

So , I don't recommend badoo...i think it is scam now....and I am sorry to say this since in the past was one of the best....

Be careful I was never signed up on this site in OZ, to my horror im a director of a consortium group of companies so utmost professionalism! I suffered the horrifying consequence of my photos? From my Facebook account name? My age? Everything stolen duplicated into and publicised for public consumption of an impostered profile created by an anonymous A'hole?! Who posed as me! It was only referred to me by work colleagues who jokingly stated what happened to my marriage? And I had quite some sexy pics on Dating site BADOO.COM. Perplexed? Mortified as i was newly happily married so frantically my colleagues goggle linked to this fake profile of mine created and there it was! Every pic dirty chats this person had with these perves all documented and public my heart sank this destroys marriages careers and let alone my character? These sites are dangerous no real I. D verification system to police stolen identity and fake profiles?! I contacted Badoo.com 2 months ago aint heard anything, but received first email please sign into my profile account and delete it? Ummm I did not create account so therefore I have no username? Details? Email password blah blah blah! The nerve?! Have not received answers or any resolution to this be warned! Dating sites or any other sites once your pics info on web they can be used for evil fake $#*!! & ruin you!

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.

As the title says - do you want to pay a lot of money to talk to some fake profiles? Then join badoo. The chances to meet a real person are like 1%. The chances to meet a real nice person is like 0.1%. So if you have too much money and gambling, drinking or throwing money out of the window is not an option, join badoo and start spending money here.

Scammers
October 4, 2015

I was on Badoo for about a year, posted my real photos and real information. Got hit on over 20,000 times. Only one person I met on the site was real. I got into a relationship with a guy who claimed to be from England. He romanced me for over a year. Tried to persuade me to come over to England... at my expense. A week before I was to leave, he asked me to send him $5000 pounds sterling... I refused. I still went to England and on a Mediterranean Cruise but without the lying scammer.

Decent website
September 25, 2015

Well not to great but u can still chat for free with members who aren't very new on the site. Rest u need to purchase credits to speak to the new ones.not too many girls online though and mostly u will also find profiles of people who never came online. Looks like more of pulling data from ur Facebook and showing in nearby fields
