Ladies and gentlemen,,,,,,,,,,,, Yes indeed this Badoo is very fake, 6 out of 10 guys that I communicated with turned into scammers... KNow the signs:
1. Their English is not good u can tell by the way they write.
2. They will start very very charming calling u LOVE or Sweety or something very catchy, they want your email address right away, or your phone number. Call your phone number right away to find out where they are calling you from. ALso google the number
3. They claim to be very wealthy but then they will send you the same pics they have in their profile.
4. To catch them: Ask them to send you a SELFIE blowing u a kiss and if they can't do that... They are very fake! They can't take selfies and claim they don't do that, they have recordings of children and can tell you its their child and that they are single widow and the child lives with their grandma or Mom. Don't fall for this Scammers... Blocked them immediately Most scammers claim they live in US but they will be leaving soon to overseas and thats a RED flag... after they leave they will ask you for money... they start with a large amount then they decrease it to try to get ANY amount from you... Let them know u are POOR and need their help yourself HA HA and some will offer help but don't follow through. DONT ever give them your real name. I told one of them My name was Hope Stabb and a fake address... BE WARE and be careful.
DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS STUPID SCAMMY SITE!
I REPEAT.!
DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS STUPID SCAMMY SITE!
Most of the profiles are fake and have been placed there to take cash out of your pocket. I'm going to sue the developers if I won't get a refund!
They block my account after I spent a lot of time doing live. They were worried that I will whitdraw the money. This application is a big fat lie. They are making a lot of money...
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!
In the dim and distant days of the last decade (2010 to 2019) when Corona was an exotic drink that you bought in the alcohol aisle of Asda, the website Badoo was actually a fairly decent place to hang around and anticipate, at the very least a conversation but after a flurry of post Covid 19 scaremongering, vaccinations and a surge of uber virtual signalling (Black Lives Matter and Transvestite caterwauling), the braintrust at Badoo have opted to suspend accounts that dare to veer from their self appointed path of "wokeness" and more recently, charging people for usage of even the most basic functions of their website, "Premium User"? No thanks, money grubbing cretins.
Run by a greedy Armenian owner, it $#*!s you over EVERYWHERE it can, from accidentally showing you have less credits so you have to buy more, to automatically RECONNECTING your card after youve deleted it and charging it illegally.
Thanks for your review.
Please allow us to outline that your credits balance will never be reflected incorrectly. However, if you use credits on a service, the cost of the service will be deducted from your credits balance. We'll be happy to remind you how your credits were spent.

You must put 3 pictures of your face. No problem, except that pictures can be votted by men too. So, if you want to see your rating you must rate 40 or so other persons(man, women). OK, after a while you get used to low ratings because you will receive at least 50% votes from men (always 1 - of course on scale 1-10). Then there is a second rating in a circle where every man in a circle is between 5-6. THEN you have third ratings from moderators! (from 1-5) which dare to give you 1 on every picture - I asked them about that and they told me that it is because the pictures where bad in a technical sense. OK, in the meantime i spent 200$ in best studios with famous photographs. I passed with 10! Different pictures on BeautifulPeople without problem(just for test, this is any use of that shallow site). And STILL - no better than 2 stars or 1 star. My friends which are litlle more "beautiful" than me for very bad photographs has been given 5 stars. But, they never manage to pass on BP.com. So woman moderator discriminate people based on their preferences and take all self - esteem from ones which doesn't fit to their criteria. I sent them email about that - they were lying to me - they DO NOT rate technical ascpect of pictures but beauty instead. This is discrimination from owners or their employees and if I have money I will sue them for that. Woman on Badoo are extremly ugly - I have to preview 300 pictures to find anything above 3. Same for man, I had had many contacts BUT with all this woman something is not right mentally - you can feel it or they told me something to lead me to that conclusion.
I joined Badoo few months ago and made an account. I am a transgender and I get hit on
A LOT and some guys even want to offer me money in exchange for meeting up with them. Truth be told I have never received any dime from anyone online. And yet some member reported me apparently for prostitution. With no warning, they blocked my account and I received an email informing me the nature of the complaint. I'm like wtf, how would they even verify that the member's report is true? It was that easy to be reported in badoo and get you blocked. I let it go, and few weeks later I tried making a new account. I tried 3 times, they keep blocking it apparently for breaking their guidelines on the first account. It felt very unfair to be judged with no credible basis. It felt dehumanizing and just aweful to be banned from something you cant even dispute about. Their decision was apparently final even if I emailed their support team. Yes, stay away from Badoo, it's not a great experience there. The company slams the door on to your face with no warning let alone legal basis. I am just appalled how a business treats its members very aweful.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review.
We're sorry to hear that the decision was made to block your profile. However, please be ensured that any complaints submitted within the Badoo app or via the Badoo website are thoroughly investigated and if it is found that you've broken our rules, we reserve the right to revoke your access to Badoo.
If you feel like this decision is incorrect, you are welcome to reach out to our team for a second investigation and we'll be happy to take a second look for you!
There is zero matching system and, therefore, I've had zero dates. They also make it MANDATORY that you willingly take a mugshot for the site (it doesn't kick in right away so at first it seems like you are able to have some privacy). They also use a ranking system with a fun little meter that tells you when you are unpopular to emotionally manipulate you into scrolling. It prompts you to make a purchase every 3-4 minutes and 75% of the app is totally unusable without the supplementary purchases (so they have a credit card to go with your face, phone number, and linked social media). The site is also ridiculously racially biased - I live in a metropolitan area and there is no WAY that 90% of the population around me is white, like the app implies. Lastly, this one is just personal, literally every male the site has put in front of me looks like one of those guys you don't trust to watch your drink (if you know what I mean). All around, just dont. Would not reccomend: OkCupud is WAY better.
Hey there. This saddens us to hear.
Our matching system works quite well and we have the statistics and success stories to prove it. We are the. Oldest and largest dating app in the world so we will have to disagree with you on this one.
We do make it mandatory to upload a photo to verify that it is really you. This is not seen by anyone but makes our community a safer one to be a part of.
We would hate for you to think we are emotionally manipulating with the ranking system. This is actually put in so you can observe the movement on your profile and for no other reason. We apologise if this has caused you offence.
Our app is free to use and you can speak with your matches for free. To speak with anyone and everyone we do require special. Features but you can also obtain these by inviting a friend through the app and watching our promo videos and adverts.
For the racial aspect of it, we do not discriminate against anyone. Not for the colour of skin, religion, orientation, gender, nothing. This is actually what we are most proud about. Badoo is very popular in many countries where there may not be a white person. We are global and would never dare to select a certain type of person. I am also a person of colour and know a lot of my colleagues are too. It is highly doubtful that we would discriminate against this. We hope that you will reconsider this thought as it is just not the case. If you would like any more assistance please contact us on@BadooHelp

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.
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
Answer: Hi Gunal! We work hard to keep a database of high quality real users, and our moderation team works 24/7 to spot any malicious profiles. Most of our users are really who they say they are! However, if you're still suspicious, we urge you to use the reporting feature to notify our moderators about a potential fake profile. Additionally, Badoo is completely free to use. We do have some additional features to increase your popularity, but they are totally optional. We hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to get in touch if otherwise!
Answer: Hi Peter, Please do reach out to us on social media@BadooHelp, and include the email address or phone number (including the country code) that you used to sign up so that we can look into this for you. -BadooHelp
Answer: Hey Stephen, Please contact us on@BadooHelp with your registration details and we can look into this for you. Our payment plans are subscription-based meaning they renew themselves once they have run out. Unlinking your card is not the same as unsubscribing. Hope this helps! -BadooHelp
Answer: Hey Stephen! We have answered your query on a different thread. Hope to hear from you soon on@BadooHelp -BadooHelp
