Hei, don't use badoo, I ve been decent user, single mom and suddenly kicked out and I contacted support but never came any exact answer. I asked for copy of what I ve done wrong, but account deleted. Really bad support, def not suggesting.
Badoo I cool in the fact that it offers live chats. But with all the thirsty lame guys stroke the egos of bored insecure girls that just get on the app for the live chat to get their $#*! kissed i can miss out on it.
Since January, Badoo Europe has become massively infested with AI-generated fakes - there are thousands. There are also active hackers, scammers, thieves, & dangerously illegal aliens - but Badoo has taken no action against most complaints. I have screenshots of literally hundreds of AI fakes, but have to Photoshop out my identity 1st.
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.
Openly married men looking to cheat, flagged 5 profiles with graphic photos and disgusting descriptions of sexual acts men are looking to do. Looking to date within my ethnicity and was flooded with men who were not. Deleted after an hour.

A guy called Danny Dimitrio stole pictures of my FB after being very insulting. He then found information on my FB & threatened to throw acid in my face. Badoo wouldn't do anything about it. So had to call police. Very dangerous site.
Awful is too generous a word. Badoo is just a profiteering site and app for the owners of it. They don't care about the users. As someone else says, it is a greedy pay site, quote "constantly hounding you to use pay services like sending gifts and stickers, get your message read first, get your profile seen more, and it goes on..."
I found it very costly and any extras you pay for are quickly used up and you are motioned to pay again and again. The extras, the add-ons, are expensive too.
Badoo lets you create a profile on its website with just an e-mail address, and you can use it for a while. Then one day you try to log in and it demands you hand over your cell phone number for SMS verification - even though you signed up without it. I don't have a cell phone, and if I did, I would never give my number to Badoo because they would almost certainly sell it to spammers.
The bottom line is that they hold your profile and pics hostage until you give them your cell phone number. No way to remove your pics or close your account. Badoo is the poster child for why the internet needs to be better regulated.
The $#*!ing girl on this dam website told my $#*!ing son she was 18 come to find out she was 14 now her dam parents want to prise charges against my son. Do not use this site unless your looking to go to jail. People on her lie bout everything on here.
I identify as female. My photo's kept being rejected. I emailed support to help change my gender identity on the app. They said it was changed, but my photos kept getting rejected. Then my photos appeared again but my gender was change back to male. And so on and so forth. And the custome support people? RUDE AND SARCASTIC. At least Tinder is inclusive and you don't get rejected and have to fight because of your gender identity. Basically, if you "look like a man" Badoo will reject your photos and not allow you to change your identity to female.
Disgusting!

Badoo is a piece of $#*! rip off and supportless work of con art. Stay away from it, they beg you for money every step you go, arrogantly try to force you to provide your mobile phone number for unexplained verification or your profile gets completely locked, making it even impossible to subsequently delete it - WTF! - who they believe they are these idiots!
Badoo hasnt found me love yet but im only on my fourth month and I think its getting better. Its not as good as wejustfit.com yet but you hear so many happy stories about people finding the one on Badoo so I think ill keep my subscription going and hopefully my patience will pay off in the end lol
Nothing to see here but fakes, flakes, spammers and bots. Do not spend your money on this site. If you really want to get nothing for your money then send it to me. At least you'll know it went to good use. I promise to by dinner with it.

I have been now actively on Badoo since May, but I deleted my profile 2 weeks ago. The reason being, after answering 6 requests, turn out to be all scammers wanting money! At one point, I had to involve the FTC, because the pictures were stolen of an US soldier, and I also think, since you are letting this go on, knowing some of these men are scammers, you should be held accountable.
Hi Eveline!
We're very sorry you've had this experience with us.

The security of our users is very important and, as per our Guidelines, we do not allow any kind of malicious profile.

Absolute disgraceful. Everything cost you more money. Even with premium you can only message people they want you too and beware the Customer services take the approach of tough read our terms and conditions. Alot of the time the app says people are online when they are not, resulting in a two day lag. Please read trust pilot reviews they will tell you more just how bad badoo is It's in the name bad oooooo

I have been with Badoo for a couple of years now. Someone appears to have hijacked my profile. Instead of the 51 year old gay man I am, it shows a 22 year old girl named harmony with large breasts. I can't seem to delete my profile or alter the basic information at all. I informed Badoo and they didn't even reply. Now I have a fake profile linked to my email and they obviously have my password. I can't do anything at all about it and Badoo won't help. I am going to have to delete my email account now to stop it myself.
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.
Also known as exsoldier. Lived in Sheffield now brighton area. Hes a player. Trusted him it was all a lie. He prays on nice women who want a relationship. I confronted him he got violent since heard Im not the 1st he's got a past for violence. Just please be careful he's not the person you think he is he will say a vandetta is against him. If so check domestic disclosure!
I met this dude off badoo. I've been with him for two years. He was very sweet and kind at first. He made me fall in love and I had a baby with him. People when I say I saw his true colors after 3 months it came out... Bottom line: NEVER DATE NO ONE OFFLINE. They are crazy as $#*!! He came out to be a cheater, left me in the house every weekend, got mad over Stupid $#*! and Lied about having a car and job! It was a Nightmare being with this $#*!! Badoo is a good dating site, but don't fall for the bull$#*! everyone splurge at you because you're online...
Badoo is full of scammers that work the older generation (50+) of members being women or men. The first red flag is a very young young girl or guy adds you as a favorite, you contact them and they say they live in Miami or Los Angeles but the reality they are out of Africa or India. Now you know that these people use other profiles to do the scamming.
Be intelligent, if your 60 and a 28 girl finds you attractive RED FLAG, the moment someone asks for money from the step is being scammed. Stop block and go on with your searches. Not all people are bad on this site, I've met some very nice girls but just use common sense and you won't be scammed.
Overview
