Badoo

I made a profile on this site and paid using pay pal i chose the 3:99 payment just to try the site they charged me another 3:99 and then they charged me 39:99 without my permission if anyone would like to talk to me about this please call Kevin at *******167.DO NOT LET THEM GET YOU.

It is enough for someone to false report you to get warning, and after that to be blocked.
Moderators are irrational, and something like "i dont like you" is considered hate speech and you will get permanently banned in a minutes. YOU WILL NOT GET REFUND if they decided that your answer to someone "sorry, i dont like asians" is hate speech, and just like that your account will be terminated, WHILE YOUR CREDIT CARD CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED. Just escape and NEVER REGISTER on this scam site, where there a lot of fake profiles anyway.

- You have to pay to send a message to "popular" (i. E., attractive) members
- You can only message six to ten new people per day for free
- You can't hide the fact you visited someone's profile without paying for that feature (POF lets you do so for free)
- Search results come up in random order and no way to tell which profiles you've already seen, so you wind up clicking on the same profiles over and over
- Search results only display those profiles for which your age falls within their search criteria; change your age, and you get a whole different set of results (POF only allows an age differential of 14 years maximum, but at least they're honest and open about it)
- You can set up a profile using the website without a phone number for verification. The next time you try to log in, they demand SMS verification. If you don't have a cell phone, you can't verify, your profile and pics stay up indefinitely and you can't do anything about it.
- Any e-mail or skype address you give them or even type into the chat gets harvested and sold to spammers. I assume the same thing happens with cell phone numbers.

In summary, this service is run by people with zero ethics (Russians, apparently) and they are now in pillage mode of doing anything to make a buck off it. Best to move on to better and more honest dating sites/apps - POF, Tinder, Match, whatever, anything else would be better.

EX SOLDIER - IAN - SHEFFIELD AREA - AGE 49 - Had a date with this guy he was late, didn't give to much away about him self? And didn't ask me about my self all he was intrested in was my chest, getting me into bed which he didn't and wanted me to send him a rude pic! Very strange guy. Now blocked him... be ware ladies!. He's not funny, no personality, his teeth are green lol yuuk. This chap needs stricking off all dating sites, and he's on many, he just spoils it for every decent guys on these sites..

Very bad sire and it looks some profiles are not real but used to have men sign membership. I do not trust that sire at all. O would not recommend to anyone

They are $#*!ing thieves. I get many replies and meeting with Free Tinder, while I didn't even get more than 2 visits to my profile page at the Paid version of badoo, although I sent likes 60-70 girls and messages to many girls...

And they keep asking you to pay more to be on top of the list or something; my suspicion is they force you to pay much more to be seen in girls' inbox; then why did I $#*!ing pay before?

$#*!ING THIEVES, SOMEBODY MUST STOP THEM...

I went online first time on Badoo talking to this one female she had a UK accent she gave me a bogus number that was it a VoIP computer internet number she told me she was from Toronto bull$#*! warning to all users especially females don't bother going on there it's all bull crap people they're trying to scam you and I'm a guy and some girl sent me some fake sexy pics lied about her life lied about everything told me she never had a kid and then I found out she had a kid clearly it's a scam clearly it's a fraud by using words like baby deer honey darling nobody talks like that it's fake stay away I hope you guys understand that there could be real people but because of people like that they ruin it for everybody else

I have used the Badoo site for a few years and they have a system built in to where some people you need to spend credits to chat.

The exit button is conveniently right neat the payments buttons and I accidentally used the 79.99 life time fund. They had my PayPal because I made 10$ transactions here and there.

When I contacted them at first they said because I agreed to their site policy I'm held to the purchase I accidentally made! I continued to contact them and tell them I didn't have the money to spend and they told me they will refund me!

I waited for 2 days and got nothing.

When I contacted again they told me that April their Community Operations Manager Would contact me. She said to close my PayPal case and they would refund. I did so and they ghosted me!

They play dumb and try to get rid of you as soon as possible with their bs policy they say you signed when you signed up!

I'm going to call my bank and report for fraud to get my money back because I have the screenshots and the attempts to make peace with them. Through their e-mail customer service and facebook.

These guys are totally scam artist-run away!

This site is nothing but an over glorified popularity contest! I was invited by a friend (or at least I think this person really did invite me-with Badoo, it's hard to tell since they get into your personal email account) to come on there and found out that it isn't all that it's cut out to be. There are some cool people on there however, but a majority of the people are kind of weird. And if you want to see who has you as a favorite, you have to pay for superpowers! What kind of b******* is that?!?! It's way too expensive. And you have to put up some pictures of yourself, which I did and only one was up on my profile despite that I put up 3! I couldn't find the contact form on the site to ask them why my other pictures didn't show up on my profile. Plus, there are several scammers running around on there and there's no way to tell them about it so they can look into it. Don't waste your time on this site, and if anybody says that it's a good site, either 1) they work for the site or 2) they probably have been rejected off of the more decent sites.

A distinct and flagrant absence of transparent processes sums of this dishonest company. I have created a number of accounts in the past all of which were blocked. Its only recently that I contacted Badoo and questioned the reason. I was informed that I was sexually explicit in my username. On one username I will hold my hands up. So lets be VERY clear here. I am a gay man in an agreed open relationship. I am very clear in my profile what I am looking for which is no strings sex fun and am also equally clear about the rile I adopt in any sexual meeting. Many (not all) people join this site to meet up for casual sex or sometimes a full on relationship. I believe this to be a form of Homophobia and also theft and fraud. I created a new profile yesterday and today added over £60 at which point I was notified the my new account was blocked. My profile was clear but not offensive and had a non sexualised username. I am determined to recover my money and seek a legal direction with regard to a potential future action against this wholly dishonest company.

I just reported them to my bank as I am not even sure how they received my banking information. I downloaded the app a week or two ago and lost interest very quickly. It was advertised as a free app and had premium features. I never looked at the premium features but somehow was charged $58.99 today and sent me an email thanking me for renewing a service that I never knew I even had. I don't know how they got my information other than Google or they are part of another site somehow. I called my bank and she said that many dating sites share the data. She also said write to them and they will likely give it back and if not it would take up to 55 days to get back from the bank. Badoo responded in an email saying that I agreed to a reoccurring charge for my premium service that as I said I never signed up for. I would never remove my bank card from my wallet for this site and that is what disturbs me is how did they get my banking information, to begin with. I see other posts of people complaining about similar things this company needs to be investigated for the shady practices. I have reported them to my bank as fraudulent. Badoo must have it set up this way on purpose and need to be held accountable. This is unacceptable.

*** THIS APP IS A SCAM!*** DO NOT SAVE YOUR CREDI INFO!, they will make you pay for an expensive subscription if you click wrong once. They want to obtain payment details, and then trick you into making outrageous payments. They do this by providing "one-click payments" defaulting to large sums of money. This app is maliciously designed to make you pay by accident. They will not return any accidental payments. They will not even reply to your complains. **AVOID THIS SCAM!**mers pay by accidental click.

I have been on Badoo on and off for a while now, I remember when you could comment on other members photos as well. Shame they stopped that.

They use to have a cool credit top up feature where you can message someone for free or 10 credits or top up 10 credits but now the minimum required to message a user/badoo member will cost you 150 credits! Tell me Badoo team? Why does it cost 150 credits/ £1.50 to send one message? Please let me know why? It use to cost 10 credits last year. I disagree the way you have hiked your prices up at the expense of many of your loyal members.

So if you only have 5 credits left on your account then to chat to one person would cost you £3 GBP (for 200 credits). Also if that badoo member doesnt reply or deletes their profile then you would have wasted £3 and 150 credits! - When before it would cost you 10 credits only!

Also an increase number of fakes on there as well sadly. I hope badoo looks into this a little more for the benefit of their users/members!?

Stay safe all!

Best wishes,

Sean
