They allowed my profile to be hacked... Went to log in and got a message saying. Wrong password... Thought I'd typed it wrong... Did it again... Same message... Tried to do a password reset... Using forgot password feature... It then said my e-mail address was wrong... It wasnt... By now I'm getting annoyed... I'd been on the site for a long time so knew my details were correct...
I then complained to Badoo... And they said I'd broken some violation rule... What a load of rubbish!
I've always been polite to anyone I've spoken to on the site... And don't use rude words.
So how can Badoo explain that my password was somehow wrong... Reason... Because they allowed it to be changed... And I did'nt receive an e-mail to tell me it had...
So to me member/profile security on the site is'nt very good...
And the violation excuse was how they tried to deny it... Plus they did'nt even tell me what the so-called violation was either...

I did get this from them on... Wed 02/02/2022 16:08
Your account has been blocked
Badoo doesn't work if we treat each other badly, and some of our users have reported that you're breaking our Terms and Conditions.

That is certainly not the case...

But earlier... Wed 02/02/2022 12:17...
Welcome back to Badoo
Good to see you again, Nathan
Since your last visit a whole bunch of new girls in East of England have joined Badoo and would love to meet you.

Welcome back... I'd never left...

And how can of of been rude to anyone when I could'nt even log in...

I think the above more than proves that Badoo allowed my account to be hijacked...

The Badoo response to my review is rubbish... As this is all they keep saying...

Hello Nathan,

We have decided to permanently block your profile for being in violation of our Guidelines.

Sadly the site is now being bombarded by fakes and scammers, It's got worse since the Covid-19 pandemic started. Also, there are reports from returning genuine members that they've had profiles hijacked, And this seems to be true... As the profile wording seems normal (plenty of effort put in) but then has photo's of some 20 year old girl when the genuine person was 50 years old. I've seen so many say... "Back again as profile was hijacked"... There are also 1000's of new profiles where the persons photo's have been copied from Russian dating sites. My advice to POF... Step up your game before your site becomes as bad as some of the other well known awful sites that are 80% full of fake profiles and devious scammers.
Devious as in... They are copying a photo... And are then rotating it so the person is looking the opposite direction... This is to fool. Google image search. So they can't be caught out... Luckily, YANDEX image search is quite clever and still brings up the image no matter which way it's facing.
