Horrible website- too many non-English speaking people, and scum bag clientele. Mostly looking for hook ups. Booty calls-r-us is a better name. Desperate men!
Badoo works showing lots of beatiful ladies, most likely voted by the users, nonen which in real life are looking company from online. Occasionally, there is one of your Facebook friend, usually in seroius relationship. There are few geniune proflies and occasional conversational, so the chance for meeting thar special someone exists, though very minimal.
It is free, yes, I don't really see that paying for the Superpowers adds possibility much. If you are really lookinfg for company online, permanent or temporary, there are many better sites. Every dating site reaches your wallet, and it is a nuisance to cancelling the monthky payments. The only secure way is to cancel your credit card.
There was a 3-day free trial in December 2020, in order to take advantage of it I had to enter my credit card details. Right after that, I removed the credit card from my profile, as I wasn't planning to use the service for more than 3 days. After 3-days I was charged the Premium fee of 42.99 EUR. They took the money without my consent. Whatever their ToS says, they lied about one fact, they stored my credit card information in their database AFTER I removed it.
Customer service replied to me with this, Feedback, ID *******:
"Hi there,
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. As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, we're only able to refund services that have not been downloaded.
We recommend that you check the Terms and Conditions for all future purchases before proceeding. You can read them here: http://badoo.com/terms."
Customer service just gave me a canned reply. Certainly, I made the mistake of not formally cancelling the service after 3 days, but what I did, seemed sufficient enough for me, I removed my credit card details from the service, yet they still charged me, instead of sending a reminding e-mail about "Payment not available". Really, not expected behavior that easily borders with thievery.
Not a great place to meet anyone genuine. I have used badoo on and off over the years and the vast majority on the app, absolute undatables, misogynistic women abusers, personality disordered, foreigners that dont speak a word of English, cheap vile men just wanting to hook up. I met several people on here, so i can say that they turned out to be dead beats or people so undesirable they give off a terrible vibe. Sketchy men. Dishonest, jobless wasters, serial cheats. I could tell you horror stories of things men have said, misogynistic filth about women, men wanting unprotected sex on a first date, and the obsessive stalkers.
Waste of time this app and will cause you problems in the long run wasting your life bothering with specimens from badoo. Not all, but 99%
Not a safe app. Absolutely do not meet up with any of these ppl, especially not on your own, i did and regretted it. As sometimes young people can be nagged or pressured relentlessly by creeps just to "meet"
I don't recommend this app for men or women, plus you are at risk as a lot of the users will ask for your personal information, number, and try and add you on Facebook. Can i say the men are desperate, desperate & desperate. Or plain nasty. Its usually one of them
I've had men leave me voicemails when told i was no longer interested, i was stalked and harassed for over a week
I had a death threat from one guy yesterday, calling me a sl*g and to rot in hell, after pressuring me for my Whasapp, i believe it was pre meditated which is why I'm writing a review. Has shaken me up so i deleted the app
Don't bother with it

Hi Luis!
Thank you for your message.
We're very sorry to hear about your experience with us. Auto top-up refers to the automatic refill feature for credits; when you fall below 200 credits, you can select to automatically top up your balance. However, this is not related to your Badoo Premium subscription. Badoo Premium is a separate service and requires cancellation of the recurring subscription; instructions on how to do this were provided when you made the purchase.
Please send us a private message with the email address or phone number linked to your profile and we'll look into this for you.
Badoo automaticly turn on a service when you buy credits, that if you go under 200 credits it will just charge youre credit card for a full pack of 550 credits. WTF?
I was useing a service to get more votes, and it cost 100 credit. I then bought a small credit pack to get 550 credits, unaware and not promted at any $#*!ing point, that now everytime my credits would be under 200, it would automaticly charge my card.
I have tryied to a get a refund for this scammy scammy scammy method, but not only was I denied this, The support also clearly lie and say that my credit was under 50, and that is why the auto- service kicked in.
That is not true! I want my refund, and we are taking legal actions against this scammy way of not telling the user, when real money is being used.
Hi there!
We're sorry you've had this experience with us.

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.
