Give BADOO a WIDE berth like the women on there 😵‍💫

Christ Almighty. You’d be forgiven for thinking this was a search site for your next hound from Battersea dogs home. A site FULL of the most ugliest undatable 50 Tats on each arm women. Even after 20 pints you’d have to think twice taking one home. 1 - day premium is a complete rip off and crock of 💩 . Steer WELL clear unless you want to see trannies and the butt ugly mingers that wouldn’t be out of place at a crufts show and I don’t mean the owners 🫢😩🤮 … awful site and complete 💩

A scam that preys on lonely people

Here’s what happens ….
You sign up and within minutes you get loads of likes with blurred out faces.
Then you get invited to reveal who likes you but have to pay money to show them.
So …. Cos you’re sad and lonely, and genuinely want to meet people, you pay up.
Then it reveals Chinese folk, fat people, ugly people and people that live nowhere near you.
What happens next is you get no likes whatsoever for the entire month you have signed up for.
Total scam.

Sad little website

You can’t even send text messages to the bots. And it’s filled with OF models or s workers trying to find the next job..

Sad little website..

Bots

All I got to say, despite countless of times deleting this app and starting again. Same few profiles are the only ones that actually match with me. Same few "people" every single time. So I think this is just a scam and nothing else.

The same person owns all of these mega…

The same person owns all of these mega rich dating sites. Tinder are owned by the same people running baddoo.

As soon as you purchase a membership, you will be blocked and so called "reported ". This is permanent and a way of literally robbing people in broad day light which they deem as legal. They have no one actually regulating this. You can complain all you want but they will ignore your emails. Writing to their head office will also get you being ignored. I've been through all processes. Regulating bodies don't deem these matters as important and ombudsman claim it's too expensive to take them to court. They're an illegal maffia to scam people. You have to be autistic to think they are concerned about your well being or finding a relationship. The main objective is to entice you to pay for their premium and then get rid of you, knowing you will go create a new profile and do it again. Giving them ultimate defence in a court in future when they do get investigated. Hence they ALWAYS let you rejoin no matter how many facial recognitions you do with them.

IM NOT A PERVERT

IM NOT A PERVERT - I have been sent a warning for sending someone explicit material on Badoo, some spiteful woman lied to them and they sent me a warning. I know its complete lies as its not something i have ever done in my life, also i hate that kind of behaviour. I have been arguing for a week with them and now im being ignored. They refuse to remove the warning and they refuse to ban this woman. They refuse to show me what the evidence is and they refuse to tell me what it is. I have asked for this to escalated to a higher power. Im sick of being branded a pervert and for 'Adult Nudity or Sexual Activity Policy'.

RIP-OFF site. DO NOT JOIN .. AVOID !!

This site is a waste of time and money.
Full membership is virtually worthless since you are still required to purchase additional credits to contact the majority of profiles.
90% of ladies on there are either inactive or scammers, and the site administrators are doing nothing about it. Lately, I have received messages from ladies that appear to be AI-generated fakes.
This site plays on honest people wanting a relationship, - NOT GOOD !!

Do the staff have to look at what going on do they just pick on any person come long they may say let's kick this person off. I do not like two-face people if that what they show do not want be part of it.

As many people say, full of fakes, and they do nothing about it, I guess they just want to keep traffic on their servers.
Then algorithm is built the way to keep you away from legit live profiles.
Unfortunately it seems most dating apps nowadays are about money, not actual dating unless you are woman and get most of functions for free

Absolute and utter rubbish

Absolute and utter rubbish. Average looking bloke. Average photos. Got a premium and spent £ 40 on extra shoes. Some 4 likes but no matches to speak of, apart from women from abroad.

scam premium, free fake profiles

be warned that after the first payment they save details and you`re prone for accidental payment on any extra option xD pure and evil scam!
absolute NO value from premium or any extra!
majority of free accounts are fake, so users are just making fun of others naivety!
majority of real girls are just after wealth and gorgeous dates - expecting male to show off and come on with lies for their attention - it`s best for hook-ups in that sense.
Boys! Get your feet on the ground, you wont meet a good person here, the way this service badly operates.

Previous review deleted

I am a man ,I was sent a message by a female impersonator,a naked video of a woman playing with herself and obviously another woman with mental health issues ,I write a review on this to which my review was deleted because it was illegal and harmful Jesus H Christ these women get away with murder but a man writes a truthful review and hey presto it's deleted ,definitely double standards,the replies from Badoo are only to ppl giving five stars OR ppl having paid money having problems AND btw way girls ladies and female impersonators not all men are pervs sure I'm no oil painting but hey some of you are as rough as old boots too,how about getting rid of photos from holidays 20 yrs ago and telling the truth about your age but some stating that they are in their mid forties to mid fifties showing photos of when they haven't even reached the age of 30 ,unless they have had more plastic surgery than an airfix model cmon get real I'm far to genuine and respectful to fall for this tripe and onions

Too many popups & Desktop Version made worse

Ever Since they '' updated '' the desktop version since Sept/October this year its barely even works. When it does work it's now absolutely full of intrusive pop ups and messages (including for every like you give someone). Terrible site and not worth it in the slightest.

I put in a complaint to badoo because it refused to stop people looking for my account via my email address.
It has literally taken a month for Badoo to reply claiming they have recieved a lot of emails lately (probably from people wanting their money back because of all the fake profiles on there)
Badoo is a really bad site that is 99% full of fakes and they bombard you with emails claiming people looking to talk to you which they are not
