Scam Scam BIG TIME I only started to talk to two girls and both of them were trying to scam me for hard earned money! One was claiming she went to Indonesia and she was suppose to buy precious stones! And told me she was robbed of her advance money to these people! And then she was asking me to help pay for her lost money! But HELL NO I called her out as a scam and she could go to HELL! And my next girl I met on there was even slicker she told me her parents died in a car accident and she was taking care of her grandmother that had lung cancer! And she was going to Kenya for a fashion show with her kid! And right off the bat when she gets there she lost her wallet in a taxi cab, and when i told her to call me she said she would but her next text she said she lost her phone! But still texting from that phone really a piece of work these people! I'm sure it is a ring of scammer's! And here is the kicker she was clamming that she was from Norway and had pictures of a Blond girl, and she called and talked to me and left a message on my phone sounded like a Asian Girl! SCAM SCAM ALERT! DON'T USE BADOO PERIOD!
They have mostly scam profiles and sex workers. Badoo will block you and keep the money you paid and not give a good reason.
Badoo has Sex Offenders on their site. This company is not interested in trying to keep their site safe.
I've been on badoo now for a few months and got nothing out of it seems like a waste of time and money
Stopped card after I asked badoo to stop charging me. Buyer beware, they keep taking money after I told them to cancel premium.
Hey Stephen!
We are sorry to hear this. Unfortunately unlinking your card is not the same as unsubscribing to the service.
Please do reach out to us on@BadooHelp with your registration details and we can look into this for you.
Hope to hear from you soon.

If you don't pay for their "service" they call your account "fake account" and you are done you can not access your account no matter what.

I received an email receipt for a payment to Badoo's premium service for $59.63 that I did NOT sign up for (knowingly anyway) This was the only alert that I have ever received regarding a Badoo paid subscription, because if I had received an alert like this in the past, I would have resolved it ASAP. At first I thought it was a scam email since I would never pay for a service of this type, or any app for that matter. After some research I realized the charge was legit. I contacted customer support just to be told that per Badoo's 'terms and conditions' they could not refund my payment, even though I was only five days into a six month subscription. This is rediculous. I have never encountered a company that would be so inflexible as to refuse someone a refund under these circumstances. Charging someone's card without alerting them FIRST and then refusing to refund their monies is as much robbery as a picked pocket. The customery service replies were prompt, if not satisfactory, I will give them that. If you create an account with Badoo BE WARY AND BE SURE TO LOOK FOR ALL PRE-CHECKED BOXES OR AUTOMATIC CHARGES. I will be contacting my bank to dispute the fee. Additionally, I just looked back thru my card history and I was charged in January for the same service! For this fee I recall getting NO email, and cannot find one in my email history. Wow.
We're so sorry that we were not able to refund you on this occasion, David. Certain payments can be refunded on Badoo, however as per our Terms, and as was explained to you, we cannot refund these types of payments. We do understand that this can be frustrating but encourage users to read the T&Cs upon subscribing to Badoo Premium.
Thank you for your review and we hope that at least you are able to enjoy the rest of your current paid period 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.
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!
