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.
