Badoo has the worst customers servive ever. It is also full of people without papers from áfrica who are just on the platform just to look for somebody to marry so that they get papers in Europe.
There are also scammers who pretend to be men working as military or humanitarian missions staff who say that they will come to your country in a couple of weeks ti reunite with their relatives. Normally the ask you for a whatsaap number and then they delete the match. They chay with you for s short period of time and then they say that somethings terrible has happened and that they will have no Internet buy they are so much in live with you that they want to stay in contact with you so they ask you to send them a gift card.
I had horrible experiences on this app. Also a men came to my house though I told him that I wanna meet at a public place but he kept on pushing. When he came he said he wants a relationship and spoke non stop of his libido. Hoe high it was. I said that I don't wanna be with him. Then he said that he wants to have just friends with benefits. When I said NO he said he works fro Badoo to check the people who use the app. In case whe does work for badoo I find it very creepy.
Please save yourself some trouble and never ever install this app.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 $#*!!
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 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.
I made a purchase for 1 week premium using my debit card and then 2 minutes later Badoo took an unauthorised payment for 40 euros. Do not give them your card/bank details under any circumstances or they will steal money from you. Banks should block this company as they are just scammers stealing money. Disgraceful.
I was charged twice for the same transaction (that I did not authorize). 2 transactions at the exact same time. Badoo billing practices are illegal. The use many sneaky tricks and fraud people. I set my account to never auto-bill me, but there are too many built-in deceptive ways to trick users spending. Paypal declines all requests for refunds because badoo has "proof" that you entered an agreement with them.
Thank you so much for reaching out to us about this.

I spent £1.90 on premium for 1 day.
I check my bank account a few minutes later to see that they've taken an additional £39 for 'credits' that I did NOT authorise, want, or get any request to purchase. I've submitted an unauthorised payment ticket with paypal. Hopefully I can wash my hands of this soon.
For your own wallet's safety, don't touch Badoo's premium service.

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.
Badoo uses pre-ticked check boxes to trick users into buying things they didn't intend to. This is in breach of British and EU regulations.
I complained to customer service, but they just stopped replying after a while.
However, after I alerted my bank that I had been subjected to internet fraud, I got a full refund of my credit card purchases.
The great thing about this is that Badoo will lose their standing with credit card companies over time.
I used the enclosed picture as proof.
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way. While I understand your frustration, please be assured that we would never take payment without your consent. Consent is always given before auto-top up is activated, it is an optional service that can be cancelled at any point therefore we are well within regulations. Also, when you make or pre-authorise your purchases on Badoo, you agree to the terms which are set out to you.
However, I am happy that your bank has decided to process your refund. I hope that this resolution is to your satisfaction.
I did accept to pay $7 for one week.
At my surprise, they were charging me an extra for $50 at each day without my permission. Taking it straight from my PayPal account.
So far, they scam me for 3 days worth of $150.
Looks, they use sneaky tricks to steal users.
Please, don't even think of getting involve with Badoo. They are a group of mafia

Terrible company with 0 values to their members. They will incur big charges on your account for supposedly non refundable one click payments they mention of their "fine Print" and you accept. It doesn't matter you complain immediately after their charge they will not refund you the money and tell you you should have read their fine print policy. Please BEWARE of this company as it is obvious they have structured this policy along with their "one click customer convenience purchase" on purpose to steal money from their members. There are a lot of the same complains online. BEWARE!

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.
Answer: 99% are fake! When you engage with Badoo you expose yourself to fraud and rip off. Their "job" consists of making up fake profiles with stolen photos and reeling in gullible people. If you want dates and relationship, you may want to try http://J4Love.net This site has helped me and a friend of mine to meet many lovely women. My friend got married to one of them. I'm still undecided, but the site works. Don't waste your money on Badoo. What they do is try to get your money without providing any real service. You pay for talking with bots. You are buried in auto-generated messages and there are no real people willing to meet.
Answer: Hey Jahidul, Sorry to hear about this! If you could please send us a message with your registered email address or phone number, we'll be happy to look into this for you! Badoo Team
