Used Badoo for about a year... I tbh thought I'd met a few weird and nutty ladies prior to any Internet dates... But there's a lot of needy and disfunctional women here... Although I met my first ever online date here whom was a sweet wee angel... She obviously set a high standard but was a decline fromm there I'm afraid...

Badoo is free to use. All those people don't dare try to invest only one dollar in one of the paid prime dating sites but keep writing negative reviews about Badoo. Wow, there are Fake profiles on Badoo? LOL :) What did you expect! You get what you pay for... and if you use a FREE social network or dating site you will find FAKE people as well!

Invest a few bucks and get a gold membership on sites like Mingle2day if you want to seriously get to know someone. Or use Badoo but stop complaining that you will find fake profiles!

Badoo is a fun place to be and you can spend some nice time on here.

BULL $#*! SCAMERS
March 14, 2016

Was on this for 3 days and nothing but FAKE people or wanting money for airtime to talk with you is what one girl said to me. She sent nude photos and was very demanding about sending money to her. This is NOT what anyone has signed up for. Don't waist your time and the girls name that tried to scam me is Angelica or Ann says she lives in West Africa and wants to relocate.

Some people have nothing else to do than impersonate women on line. This site (Badoo) is full of those false persons. Very annoying. I cannot imagine a worst site than this one.

Scammers Galore
March 8, 2016

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.

Beware of a profile under the name Angelica Barnett in Canada. May also go by the name Kim Barnett. Age 31/32 I have seen both ages on this scammers profile. The skype id is angelica. Barnett2. This is a scammer profile being run from Lagos Nigeria. Will immediately ask you to go to skype to chat then within a week will be asking for money.

70% of it is a scam. Fake profiles. I know for a fact they hack into people's facebook accounts and use their profile information to make Badoo profiles those people arent even aware of and didn't consent to.

Basic common sense!
February 20, 2016

It's the same as any other site. There's honest and dishonest people on it.
You get enough perks for free to find a date so no need to pay them anything. For $#*! sake everyone knows that or at least should.

SCAM ALERT!
February 16, 2016

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!

- You have to pay to send a message to "popular" (i. E., attractive) members
- You can only message six to ten new people per day for free
- You can't hide the fact you visited someone's profile without paying for that feature (POF lets you do so for free)
- Search results come up in random order and no way to tell which profiles you've already seen, so you wind up clicking on the same profiles over and over
- Search results only display those profiles for which your age falls within their search criteria; change your age, and you get a whole different set of results (POF only allows an age differential of 14 years maximum, but at least they're honest and open about it)
- You can set up a profile using the website without a phone number for verification. The next time you try to log in, they demand SMS verification. If you don't have a cell phone, you can't verify, your profile and pics stay up indefinitely and you can't do anything about it.
- Any e-mail or skype address you give them or even type into the chat gets harvested and sold to spammers. I assume the same thing happens with cell phone numbers.

In summary, this service is run by people with zero ethics (Russians, apparently) and they are now in pillage mode of doing anything to make a buck off it. Best to move on to better and more honest dating sites/apps - POF, Tinder, Match, whatever, anything else would be better.

Took my Money for credits I could use for so called premium features. I paid on Google play store. When the credits didn't appear they said we'll let you know when you can use them. Finally after an angry complaint they said " our review shows you used them already". This is horrible business. A cold calculated theft of money. Please don't use them. It's a waste of time. You'll wonder also why so many of the women look like models. All within miles of me. Right.

Site completely horrible. Is very rare that will be anyone you would even want to talk to anyway. Was very bored around holidays and tried. Half people on there were scammers from Guana or somewhere similar posing as someone cute to try to rob you and other half were definitely not attractive barely even human. Had about 2 mini conversations and was bored. They charged CC every 3-4 days for 2 months no approval. Theives will rob you to death.

LIARS
January 3, 2016

Got involved in a relationship with a man I met on badoo. He put he was 25 who wants kids "someday" After doing some investigations I found out he was actually 35, divorced with 3 kids that he doesn't talk to. Badoo is full of liars and scum. Its a joke. He's still on there so watch out.

I swear by God I was charged 39.90 omani riyals twice (79.80 omr) first for monthly subscription, and second for credit superpower. Each time I payed 10 times more,(1 omani Riyal equal 2.6 usd). It's a Mafia, so be aware and don't give them any money!

Fake profiles galore

They gather the ugliest men around, and the most fake profiles in a website. But the funniest part is that everybody live in Manhattan and that is impossible.
