Badoo

Fake accounts. Unauthorized charges.
Lies in their Terms and Conditions. Lies from their "support."
Shameless fraud.

This idiots charge lifetime vip and block your account for several reasons, a real abuse... don't you believe them

Badoo was the first dating website I ever joined at only 19 years old back in 2009. I'm now 30 and have just come back to see what's changed and Badoo only got worse. In earlier days although a huge number of women still didn't reply I'd always get a few reply. Now though I never get a single one. The old messages from the women that use to talk with me there are still in the inbox but those women have long left the site. It's not just this dating website. It's every dating website. Women seem to get more smart and cleaver, having more reasons not to respond. Covid-19 has only made it even more worsen. Women know there's more men looking for a date with all the social distancing that's going on throughout the world so they are only upping their antics online. And it doesn't stop there. Some women on Badoo are ones I knew at school and college and I have them added on Facebook. Still no replies from someone who I actually know! Once the restrictions are lifted I'm thinking of joining a proper real life dating agency where professionals go through the whole country, finding people someone good like Channel 4's Undateables as I've tried internet dating for about 11 years and hardly had any luck.

UPDATE:
And the bad luck hasn't stopped from when I last wrote this review. One woman visited my profile about 3 times. Saw she liked country music which I've been listening to every Saturday night, so I sent her a nice short little message asking if she knew this certain song(nothing bad, sexual or demanding), only for her to immediately block me. Don't know why she would get offended over a small thing like that but Badoo is really becoming a joke.

I have been off and on for a few years. I usually quit due to the poor standards of men. They moan about single mums, baggage, women wanting money etc, fair enough, but so do men. I have met men who don't work, want money to fund their cannabis addiction, you to drive 80 miles for a leg over, or moan about an ex who cheated and won't let them see their kids.
In reality, most are narcissistic fathers who can't be bothered. Narcissistic pot heads who just want supply. Narcissistic people with unrealistic goals moaning about narcissistic women doing the same.
If you're genuine and sincere like myself, you've no hope. If you don't pay, you won't get messages, won't get your profile shown to these narcs who can't come with anything intelligent but " how's u". Can't hold a conversation. Clearly sit on their lap top all day looking for something that doesn't exist. The tiniest amount of effort and they 'think' they've got all these other options. No. Maybe a smile would get you less hand jobs. I'm no model myself but I'm certainly not ugly. Im only looking for love. But narcs don't do love. Profiles are fake.
And what's with the married dudes stuck in a loveless marriage. I'd say marriage is a red flag. Ffs get a divorce if you're that unhappy.
I've had men refuse to talk further because I wanted a date and wasn't going to invite him here or me visit him. They don't do mutual ground. I guess old bald men with no smile are in demand. So many choices.
They even lie about wanting a relationship if they think they're getting laid. No morals.
How can you expect to lie down with a stranger? Ew.
They'd pass you in the street and expect you to notice them 'not looking at you' but get brave on the app. It's like everything else. They just want an ego boost.
If you can't validate yourself, you're lost.

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.

Stopped card after I asked badoo to stop charging me. Buyer beware, they keep taking money after I told them to cancel premium.

Invisible users, Fakes and $#*! boys galore. Just 100% pure users and wankers. Do not bother with it.

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.
