DO NOT USE BADOO!
I had an account for a couple of weeks and after getting several intersts from a few people i decided to pay to contact and ended up getting ripped off to a tune of $150.00.
I complained and was ignored completly.
I later learned from various online forums that many of the accounts on Badoo are phantom and are setup by the company themselves to rip you off as it costs to do almost anything useful!
I repeat CLOSE account now!
I contacted you to report a scammer and find he still is allowed to continue to scam others? Why? You blocked his contact to me, but allow him to continue!? Bizarre!?
Scam Scam BIG TIME I only started to talk to two girls and both of them were trying to scam me for hard earned money! One was claiming she went to Indonesia and she was suppose to buy precious stones! And told me she was robbed of her advance money to these people! And then she was asking me to help pay for her lost money! But HELL NO I called her out as a scam and she could go to HELL! And my next girl I met on there was even slicker she told me her parents died in a car accident and she was taking care of her grandmother that had lung cancer! And she was going to Kenya for a fashion show with her kid! And right off the bat when she gets there she lost her wallet in a taxi cab, and when i told her to call me she said she would but her next text she said she lost her phone! But still texting from that phone really a piece of work these people! I'm sure it is a ring of scammer's! And here is the kicker she was clamming that she was from Norway and had pictures of a Blond girl, and she called and talked to me and left a message on my phone sounded like a Asian Girl! SCAM SCAM ALERT! DON'T USE BADOO PERIOD!
Met my future husband on the badoo site am soo happy thank you badoo sandra williams x x
It's $#*!ing $#*! app...
They take 9.99$ from my account every month...
I have been asking them to stop it but they did not...
I don't know what's the $#*!ing wrong with them...
Very limited number of matches and there seems to be ALOT of fake profiles of there. I get a lot of responses but they all hardly speak English and always seem to try to get money out of me. I understand that you will always encounter that in any dating site you go to but DAMN. It is without a doubt a complete waste of time.
Currently Badoo is demanding I give them my cell phone number in order to enter my account - even though I didn't give one when I set up my account (I don't even own a cell phone). Is that even legal? It does nothing to confirm who I am, since I didn't give that info before. They just want my number, presumably so they can sell it at some point to spammers.
Also I have spammers adding me on skype ever since I disclosed that address to badoo. Bottom line is these people are RUTHLESS, completely untrustworthy scammer-spammers, and they need to be shut down. Now I'm only trying to get back into my account so I can close it, after taking down my pics.
I get so tired of reading reviews about fake profiles and scammers. That's not badoo's fault, its a free site, jeez. Why are you talking to people outside of your city, red flag, read the profiles, all you need to know is there. Who sends money to people they dont know. Use some common sense. Dating sites have good and bad, if you really want to find someone, stop being lazy and weed through the foolery. You have to do the same thing on paid sites.
I was on the site for a while and got only fake responses. All of them from someone claiming to be a girl in Africa or Asia looking for true love and a few bucks to come and meet me in the US. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE RESPONSES WAS FAKE. The pictures are stolen from unsuspecting victim's Facebook page, that is why Badoo wants your account "verified", to steal your friends photos. There are also many profiles using either the same pictures or celebrities and even well known porn stars. It's a shameful waste of time and another African pirate attack.
His name Jerry, 46 from New york working in the military. How stupid of me to believe in people who are far. Well is funny because I am thankful my brother works for the police department and he found your love message to me in a scammers website. It made me super sad but that's what I get for being so trusting. Lol I feel silly. http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=*******
BADOO ESTOY MUY ENOJADA, POR LA SENCILLA RAZÓN DE QUE UNA AMIGA ME INVITO A BADOO POR FBX SOLO HICE COLOCARME SOBRE SU NOMBRE Y AUTOMÁTICAMENTE HE QUEDADO CON EL PERFIL ACTIVADO, CUANDO ESTABA DESACTIVADO, SIN SABER SI ASÍ LO DESEABA. USTEDES DEBEN DARLE LA OPÓRTUNIDAD AL USUARIO DE SEGUIR LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS PARA REACTIVAR SU PERFIL Y LO PEOR ES QUE NO HE PODIDO ENTRAR AL MISMO, LO HE TRATADO UNA Y OTRA VEZ, CERCA DE 20 VECES Y NO ME PERMITE ENTRAR A BADOO, O SEA NO HE PODIDO VER MI PERFIL, MAS SIN EMBARGO TODOS LOS USUARIOS LO ESTÁN VIENDO. ME AYUDAN, PORQUE NECESITO ENTRAR Y VER MI PERFIL, REALMENTE NO CREO QUE ME INTERESE SEGUIR EN BADOO. POR LO QUE EXIJO DESACTIVEN MI PERFIL. GRACIAS
Please stay away from Jake 33 he is a fake that's not even his real name hes not from Chicago state university. He's from Chicago didn't even go to collage and is older then that! We talked and come to find out he has a girlfriend and is only trying to get layed! What a sorry $#*! dirt bag!
I experienced vulgarity personified and abstracted! Dirt bags by the 100's! Why don't these sodomites go to the local watering hole and get laid. Ignorant and many are unappealing! What a joke!
Badoo is ok, well executed for a dating website... the people not so much. Within my first hour of joining i received 50 messages. After weeding out the weirdos i ended up replying to 5. Great choices. I ended up meeting only one. We hit it off dated for a few months and now married. Expecting our first child.
Anyway... my point being if you talk long enough and take your time messaging and not being so pushy, you might actually find someone worth your while.
I had a bad experience met an Indian girl from Badoo name Starla 25 years old from Los Angeles she sometimes goes by Kiara Rai. This person is fake when I asked to meet up and talk over the phone he/she gave me a wrong phone number saying they were sorry. This made me sick to my stomach. I dont know how people can pretend to be someone their not...
I have downloaded 200 fake profiles, several with same photo and different name. I reported all to badoo, none was removed. They create the fake profiles to impress you when you log in and play encounters. But they are so stupid they use names and fotos from Turkey girls some from Badoo, some others from other social meeting networks and several from an agency with girls. I leave in Greece and traveling along. I noticed the same problem when I was abroad in other countries. Big cheaters! Try it and you will see, more than 75% of people nearby the place you leave are fake profiles... The thing is there is no legislation yet to control them and eventually shut them down. Is it too early?
I have lost a girl that i have meet on bado and now i don't know how to find her again #feeling very sad
Scamscam I am do not like green eggs and spam. Black n green people from HELL posting pictures of angels that are controlled by demons in the pits of nigeria and if you see someone that is not attractive on badoo the demons are after them 7 fold.use anothyer sit for real!

HERE I AM WILL YOU SEND ME AN ANGEL in the land of the morning star
Horrible website- too many non-English speaking people, and scum bag clientele. Mostly looking for hook ups. Booty calls-r-us is a better name. Desperate men!
Badoo is SCAM. Most of its members are Nigerian scammers claiming to be in your area but they're incapable of speaking proper English, never mind being ever anywhere near your location. You are a total and utter natural disaster if you even think considering paying money for their services. Please, avoid it, like Chernobyl!
Answer: 99% are fake! When you engage with Badoo you expose yourself to fraud and rip off. Their "job" consists of making up fake profiles with stolen photos and reeling in gullible people. If you want dates and relationship, you may want to try http://J4Love.net This site has helped me and a friend of mine to meet many lovely women. My friend got married to one of them. I'm still undecided, but the site works. Don't waste your money on Badoo. What they do is try to get your money without providing any real service. You pay for talking with bots. You are buried in auto-generated messages and there are no real people willing to meet.
