Badoo Reviews 

Below contempt, badoo are shocking, I signed up and every day I logged on I was charged 9.99, after getting my bank statements and seeing what they did I put an immediate block on any debits from the shysters, and my bank gave me my money back, they are disgusting, badoo ...? Bad they are..

Voiced an opinion an got banned, they’ll ban you for a bullsh*** reason but when you complain about something they don’t do jack about it.

AVOID BEWARE SCAM

I have been using this dating site for about a month it seemed okay but it is full of fake accounts and profiles. Beware they are SCAMMERS I purchased badoo premium yesterday and a few hours later they blocked and deleted my account account for no reason it is a absolutely ridiculous and absolute scam.They state you get all features for the set price of premium but that is not the case you still have to purchase credits for other features then they just F you over once you purchase the premium they instantly block and delete your account. Please avoid please AVOID badoo if you use badoo do not make any purchases they are scammers and thieves they will just take your money and block you it is absolutely horrendous and ridiculous behaviour from there side.
SCAM SCAM SCAM AVOID AVOID stay away from badoo dont make any purchases and do not support these bloody scammers also there is no response from them they just take your money and run off. Please dont fall for this scam dating site.

Can confirm this site is a scam.

Many many moons ago. Hot or Not was an amazing site. Lots of fun & well moderated. I should know i once modded for them.

later in 2012. Okay its changed but you still get super powers at good value and the site worked. Some fake profiles and bots but nothing mad.

2021. This site is pure garbage! Every other account is fake. Filled with bots. Fake accounts. Even found my old profile active although i deleted it eight years ago! Still using all my pics ect ect.

If this company is based in the U.K Trading standards need to nuke them from orbit. More so for the other poor reviews ive read here.

Wan't proof its a scam? make a new account. You will get loads of intrest. if you match its a bot. So go to delete your account. and take the 3 days prem for free to see what a masterpiece it really is.

Do not waste time or money on this filth. Although i live in SEA. I will be contacting the authorities back home. U.K Due to identity theft.

This is a totally crap and frustrating website. When you finally match with someone you like and get your hopes up, the person either disappears or deletes their profile! Loads of weird and hideous looking men on here that would befit a bar in Star Wars. A total let down and waste of time!

Don't buy more features....
Took 40 pounds first time for first time was giving me 2 items featured at 9.99 and I took 4 .instantly ..and did it again for second time gives me half of what I took at 9.99 for 4 times
First time didn't pay attention but I saw it now.. so... pay more attention...

This company is nothing but a con with absoutely no customer service skills whatsoever. I am not a stupid person and when requesting a quite simple refund. Despite providing all the information required and more on more than 3 occassions( I have had refunds from other companies with much less information!!) I have recieved nothing more than automated responses asking for the same information all over again. Clearly they just want me to give up and forget about it, I won't firstly as they continue to take money out for a service i will not nor ever intend to use. Really they should be struck off for such shocking disregard for my security and finances.

People saying Badoo is a scam... the problem is that in your countries girls only care about money... in Brazil, they also truly like to have something else. Since 2014 I've gone out with nearly 100 girls on this app. Best dating app ever!

I paid for subscription and got blocked after a guy I spoke to before sent me dick pics on whattsap. I told him I wasn't interested in sex so he blocked me on whattsap. Then he liked me again on badoo. I replied with you already blocked me on whattsap after I refused to talk about sex you tw*t. I got blocked. No warning, no questions nothing. Disgusting. Also a lot of their profiles are fake. Before I paid for it I had a lot of great good looking profiles contact me. Afterwards they were awful. I will do a charge back to get my money back. How dare you block me for calling a perverted sex pest a tw*t? And how dare you block me after I paid a subscription and wasn't even allowed to defend myself and i cannot contact you to explain what happened. The worst customer service ever. Avoid and use pof instead! Also sinxe instaing the app my phone kept on freezing!!! Strongly suggest those people who got blocked to get s refund or do a charge back. They use fake profiles so deserve it.

Badoo is a horribly fraudulent money grab and should be put out of business!
Spend your time and money elsewhere.

Been blocked for no reason. They even can't tell you why or how or who reported you. No refund either. Avoid waste of time

What was once a good decent app it had ads etc but messaging to anyone was free and it was cool ..now it's very shadey it will Rob your money if you have details on it it also has increased its price of coins over and over again and now pretends to always have deals on and currently £10 pound will let you start a message with 2 people lol this has been destroyed by greed of new investors trying to capitalise on the large membership it grew in its early years ... Jog on pal

READ THEIR PRIVACY POLICY. DO NOT TRUST THIS APP WITH YOUR PERSONAL DATA.

1 star is too much for Badoo, you should be allowed to rate it the 0 stars it deserves. Read their privacy policy before you even think about signing up, what they can get away with is disgraceful, they should have to highlight their privacy policy in clear easy to see writing before tricking people to sign up. Badoo is an awful app and an awful company, do not make the mistake that I did and read their privacy policy and then go to another dating app that doesn't exploit their users information for revenue.

AWFUL APP
As other people have said it is a scam to exploit daters. Lots of fake profiles and they make you pay to see the fakes. Customer service is shocking. Do not trust this company with your bank details or any other details.

I checked out badoo a while ago before I was aware of scams and before I started to expose them.

The website/app gives you a free 2 week trail for certain premium features and nothing special happens during this time besides all the fake profiles generated by badoo themselves.
Sometimes I got a notification that someone is interested but when I opened the app there was nothing.

I knew that something is of when I started to see certain profiles using nude pictures of porn sited (of course only the pics where the woman are fully closed)

As example: once I’ve seen a picture of Mia Collins on badoo.

I skipped all the fake profiles and tried to communicate with a few woman during the 2 weeks trail but no answer whatsoever.

After the trail expired I started to getting notifications that a few woman are interested in me an like to talk to me but when I opened the app it prompted me to pay for premium to unlock the profiles. Of course I didn’t payed a dime so I tried something different, I deleted my profile and created a new one, again, free trail and the same thing happened.
I repeated this 3 times and it was always the same, fake notifications which disappeared as soon as I opened the app and after the trail expired badoo wanted money to unlock the profiles.

The conclusion: Badoo is obviously a scam like Lovoo which is most likely owned by the same Scam Company.

Badoo seem to take your subscription money and then dont activate your premium status. If you query the matter, they tell you that the payment failed and to contact your bank. Bare in mind 1 out of 2 subscription attempts failed, may be get someone who is aware of their accounts to check. May be a transaction number. Stay away, they are terrible. Tinder is way better.

Taking £40 Without Authorisation.

£40 (approx) was taken from my bank account without authorisation - apparently for 3 months 'premium' membership. The 'premium' membership is not even active - however the main point is FRAUDULENT taking of money.

I have contacted them. No reply. No anything.
*** DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BANK DETAILS ***

Just been blocked permanently from this site with no reason other than someone reporting abuse. They won't tell me what the abuse is so they take your money and then block you. Lots of under age people on the site.

100% SCAM
I joined Badoo and paid for premium membership to access unlimited profiles. After receiving my payment, they blocked my account and gave me no reason. I lost my money + account. When I contacted them, they said I violated their terms. I did not even START ! WOW !! It's a SCAM site guys, please don't use them or pay them anything.

1. They set up fake profiles or use outdated accounts for automatic likes and send outs. 2. Be very careful with one-click pay, they have this lifetime membership default option and they can easily rob you in a second.
Theoretically you may be able to find a real and serious woman for relationship on Badoo but it will require a lot of time, efforts, money and you will have to wade through thousands of bots and fakes.
