Badoo

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

Yes looks like Badoo it's doing it again, and Paypal is an accomplice in this fraud.

I never intended to subscribe just to buy 100 credits for the value of §1 and the PayPal buy now next to that 1§ product when I purchase that 100 credits for 1pound their charge me 1 + 65 when I see that ( 10 minutes aFTER CALL PAYPAL AND BADOO AND THEIR REFUSE REFUND WTF

Terms state 14 cancel refund... like the law sated... badoo say they're automatic enable some bloody superpowers that invalidate the refund...

The funny thing is that PayPal replies to say their cant do nothing_:? Wtf they the payment provider to this fraudulent scammers.

Its all gone FRAUD I will take that to the trading standards

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
