Stay away from Xavier Edel in Reims. He was a total douche bag. Lied and said he wanted kids but just wanted to have sex! What a jerk!
Badoo has stolen money from my account, I think this was happening for longer period of time, I just became aware of it. Please never give them with your bank details. I bought super powers and then I opted out but they still continued to take money from my account, without my knowledge and without my permission. They are thieves Another thing is, they claim so many people joined them, but when you look how many people left, if you have contacts on your list, after 6 months none of them will be still there, but yet, badoo is claiming their numbers are growing, it is a lie, a con, a criminal activity.
Be careful of this website. Many of the members are scammers. Nigerian scammers. They use Caucasian pictures and English name to set their profile. Because they don't want you to know their true color. I've been to this site for only 2 weeks, got lots of messages. But I found out quickly before got sucked into their scam. They always want to know your email address, they are SO fake you can even smell the rat in them. If it continued, the next thing they want is for you to send money to them... It's all about making money out of you.
HELLO! I DELETED MY BADOO PROFILE MONTHS AGO BUT IT IS STILL APPEARING IN GOOGLE TURKEY SEARCH RESULTS!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT I AM WRITING YOU EVERYDAY 24/7!
DO SOMETHING I AM TIRED OF IT!
The pictures on top of screen for straight guys contain 99% trannys and guys, but i am looking for girls! What the heck!
Apart from the handful of local friends whom I can meet any time I want, the rest are simply depressed highly strung insecure single women plastered in make up & bragging about men being such bastards for dumping them... I can understand why.
Badoo will email all your contacts without your permission. Please avoid like the plague.
I had a sad story of meeting a Sicilian man nicked Marco (real name - Angelo Trovato, 46, now lives in the Swiss Chur). As I later understood, he is a typical sex tourist. He wooed me for a good month with numerous calls and sms and everyday love chats on Badoo. When finally he arrived to meet me in real life, I was faced with the following: a zero intellect and culture, no idea that man should take a shower, and lots of lies. His only interests in life are sex, Italian football, pasta, and billiards. He doesn't care at all about the others' feelings and will do everything to get what (or who) he wants. Unfortunately, I am still recovering (economically and healthwise) from the consequences of his Mongol raid (you cannot help but call his visit a Mangol raid). I warn all the ladies to stay away from the man.
Mainly scammers i'm afraid if you stick to the free elements of the site.
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.
I have met numerous girls off this site. It is a website, so of course is full of time wasters and a few people who are fake - It is the internet after all but I have slept with at least 6 girls and been on probably 15 dates or so. You do need to pay to make this happen though, but it is cheapish compared to many other sites. Without paying, I doubt a guy will meet many women.
The website has a few Transvestites using it, but you can normally tell that from the pics... if not... it will make an interesting story for your mates to laugh at.
Total run job for re-upping with credit card
Used to be hotornot.com. When hotornot became Badoo I went from having great exchanges with real people to a very sharp contrast of literally literally NO ONE
Literally my rating was 9.7 to 9.8 badoo managed to erase my hotornot rating and set it to their standard 5 star system. Once that occurred, my rating was 2.1. On hotornot I could engage just about any girl I that I wanted to and she would reply back in chat. Real discussions
Badoo.com: I can literally click on ANY person and send them a message
Not only they don't reply. Nobody even reads the messages. But to be sure of that I lowered my standards to EVERY UGLY BETTY on the f* site
Still a lack of EVEN READING THE MESSAGES TO THEM!
Message to UglyB: Stunning. Lets meet!: user has not read this message
Even at that I configured my account so that it even showed when I clicked on a profile. And I just started hitting every other random thugged out plus sized mom of 20: STILL NO PROFILE VISITS - NO one Trys to meet, or even visits. Maybe it's a problem with my profile?
I set up a new one - same sh__
One of the TRICKS they will pull on you: When you attempt to login they will redirect you to a page where it LOOKS LIKE A LOGIN
Instead it's a place to enter your own email address and password for YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT
That way they can download your contacts and then email every other person you've contacted with a request to join you on a dating page.
Worst dating website ever. The only good thing is (at least for switzerland), that there are quite a lot of people on it. But it is a huge rip-off anyway. First of all they send out emails to the people in your address book without your consent. Second, as a male person, you can only write to 10 new girls per day, and also only 2 messages per person unless they reply. If you want more, you have to pay. Also, you can't send messages to someone who is above or below your age group. Third, Badoo deleted almost all photos where I was not with a picture on it. Like holiday pictures etc. or pictures where I'm with my gf. You need to have 3 pictures with your face, otherwise you cant see anyone else's pictures. If you have no picture at all, you can't even send any messages. There are lots of pervert guys on the site, spamming all the women all day and trying to get sex. Most women are pissed of by that, and so they usually don't answer any hello. You need to be quite creative in your messages. And even then, mostly they will not even read your message because they are already flooded with other messages. Oh, and also, some girls that get many profile views and messages, have some kind of hot-flag on their profile, and you can not send them any message until you pay for the premium service.
Badoo is sending spam all the time... I have requested not to receive any invitation emails but I still get them! Got to hell badoo!
Full of scammers! No rules or checks and spam people in your address book!
Spam, they send mails to ALL your contacts without telling you...
But, it is free to use for the most part. So can't be too hard on them.
Warning, warning, warning!
I received an email from a friend saying she had left me a message on a site called BADOO for me. She is German, so I received the message in German - I then clicked to view the message in English. I assumed it was a social networking site similar to Facebook for German people and that she was inviting me to join…
How very naïve!
I clicked the link to the message. In order to retrieve the message I was asked to enter some simple info, i. E., my name, location and date of birth. This seemed harmless enough (at no stage was my email address solicited), so I entered same, and suddenly, hey presto, I have a profile on an internet dating site linked to my private email account. I promptly received an email facilitating a password to my new account: "Welcome to BADOO!"
I had to use my private email address and the password I received to enter the site to delete an account I had never created in the first place.
Having done some research into BADOO, it would appear that this is their modus operandi. There have literally been millions of complaints about BADOO and their underhand and devious method of signing innocent people up to their dating site. Surely it is illegal? It is an absolute con. They use your info for data mining purposes.
I have had the same email address for many years and unfortunately cannot delete the account and create a new one as I work freelance and cannot afford to lose potential clients. BADOO now have my personal info and email address and there is nothing I can do about it at all. Be warned. If you receive an any email that includes the words BADOO it in anywhere, I would strongly advise that you delete it immediately.
This is a total scam, ripping off your well-earned money! Got there, went out in 5 mins, and after that, I got 20 emails, lol:)
Most of them were from people from other countries, etc.
And Badoo also spammed my contacts lists with messages from "ME"? I mean, wtf?
Stay away from this spam house at all costs!
It created a profile each for me and my partner using our email addresses, pictures from our respective facebook albums WITHOUT CONSENT as a consequence of answering some stupid querstion about a friend and provided random, incorrect details - have managed to delete my partner's account but mine remains for the time being NIGHTMARE DATING SITE!
I was last on Badoo over a year ago, and deleted the profile within 10 minute. Today i got a message from someone saying they had sent me a message, i decided to look and thought "Im sure its improved by now"... I couldnt of been more wrong. You are forced to have 3 photos of your face and ONLY YOUR FACE on your account. If not your photos are either deleted or moved into different albums.
I am a male, and i put a photo up of me and the mrs, and they said and i quote "people will not be able to work out which one is you"... This is where i drawed the line... So im not allowed to show all the desperate tossers that im engaged? Worst website ever, avoid like the plague!
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.
