It is Friday, Sept 22,2023.
I signed up on Tuesday of this week, 9/19/23... and immediately got messages from some inappropriately young, incredibly good looking, obvious fake profiles.
So, on to the real activity after deleting all of the immediate crap.
The one huge problem, is there really are very few women on the site.
Most are not in the area their profile states... and are just looking for $$$.
I'm shocked at how bad it is...and have deleted the app entirely.
Good luck...
Since January, Badoo Europe has become massively infested with AI-generated fakes - there are thousands. There are also active hackers, scammers, thieves, & dangerously illegal aliens - but Badoo has taken no action against most complaints. I have screenshots of literally hundreds of AI fakes, but have to Photoshop out my identity 1st.
This company simply does not care about anyone who might sign on to their website. They do NOT answer emails, they do NOT have any phone communications, they only send solicitation messages as if someone is interested in your ad. There is absolutely NO reason to send this site any of your money. Just look at the reviews! That says it all.
After creating a profile, I was unable to re-connect to the site because I was blocked! After several days seeking a response I received their standard email, that my profile was in violation of their terms. I'm just a regular guy, nothing I posted was inaccurate, misleading, offensive, racist, nothing I can think of that was remotely cause for concern.

Such a joke... can't imagine ANYONE paying for whatever service they claim to provide, they must only want the most eligible young people who are gullible enough to splash their cash!
The men on bandoo are nothing but sex seekers,many still living at home on there mamas couch.Many have no car,no job,poor credit and prison records.Im a nurse 15 years own house,always was busy so tried badoo.now im dating people in the real world loving it.Ladies be careful lots of scammers from africa will con you for your life saving just say no, and block be smart.
I will start by saying its the only app ive actually ever met someone from. But most matches like 85% of them are guys with mental illness that think there girls or there actually a girl but there not in the same country or part of the world lol if they fix those 2 huge problems i might get a sub
Very bad customer service and very expensive, avoid this web site...i would not recommend it...

I am writing to let everyone know that Badoos dating app is horrible. I got flagged and accused of being abusive and vulgar which I reported that because multiple men were being like that towards me. They did not do anything about it but allowed the other person to report me just because I reported them and they can't handle being turned in. I am never using Badoos dating app ever again even if it's free. From Anonymous person
I honestly don't know wher to start. I had a Badoo in my lonely single days think 2017 and new ones will randomly pop up with my pic and info. It's annoying as hell. My info is being stolen left right and center.
I genuinely did want to try this product, but their purposely mis-leading sales/upselling page achieved its goal - I mistakenly ordered something extra that I didn't want. When I realised this, not 5mins after ordering, I IMMEDIATELY emailed to cancel. They replied the next day saying it was too late to cancel and the order had been processed. They are now saying I have to wait and be sent the product and return it, before I get my money back! This is a scam and a fraud and their morals are non-existant. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.
I've found and reported hundreds off profiles on badoo yet they still appear why? Because these are fake accounts set up by badoo staff to generate money for the company! The admin never reply to complaints and clearly they know what they are doing because if the site is genuine then the profiles should be available at all times but they aren't! Scammers site
I have been off and on for a few years. I usually quit due to the poor standards of men. They moan about single mums, baggage, women wanting money etc, fair enough, but so do men. I have met men who don't work, want money to fund their cannabis addiction, you to drive 80 miles for a leg over, or moan about an ex who cheated and won't let them see their kids.
In reality, most are narcissistic fathers who can't be bothered. Narcissistic pot heads who just want supply. Narcissistic people with unrealistic goals moaning about narcissistic women doing the same.
If you're genuine and sincere like myself, you've no hope. If you don't pay, you won't get messages, won't get your profile shown to these narcs who can't come with anything intelligent but " how's u". Can't hold a conversation. Clearly sit on their lap top all day looking for something that doesn't exist. The tiniest amount of effort and they 'think' they've got all these other options. No. Maybe a smile would get you less hand jobs. I'm no model myself but I'm certainly not ugly. Im only looking for love. But narcs don't do love. Profiles are fake.
And what's with the married dudes stuck in a loveless marriage. I'd say marriage is a red flag. Ffs get a divorce if you're that unhappy.
I've had men refuse to talk further because I wanted a date and wasn't going to invite him here or me visit him. They don't do mutual ground. I guess old bald men with no smile are in demand. So many choices.
They even lie about wanting a relationship if they think they're getting laid. No morals.
How can you expect to lie down with a stranger? Ew.
They'd pass you in the street and expect you to notice them 'not looking at you' but get brave on the app. It's like everything else. They just want an ego boost.
If you can't validate yourself, you're lost.
This dating app is full of gays, ladyboys, and content sellers. It is a total disgust! Difficult to get a match here.
Filipina sends message to man, filipina want 3000 pesos for nude fotos, man says not interested, man blocks filipina, filipina send complaint to badoo saying man is doing commercial sales, badoo idiots send yellow card accusing without reason. Stay away from these fools.
So I wanted to get back out there and start dating again and my friend told me about Badoo so I give it a try and its a bloody nightmare you try messaging women and you either get ignored or have to pay a membership or get verified with pictures, your mobile number its bloody ridiculous its not easy looking for love especially online when you've sites like Badoo that make it 100 times harder with women putting absolute bull$#*! cause they got verified and all that and men that just want a hook up believe me don't waste your time with this website cause its totally bull$#*!
I don't think it's the fault of the site itself exactly but I've chatted with two people now whose profiles say they are in my city but when I start to message them then they say that they are in an entirely different country. Not sure how this comes about and it may be them that are scammers. Very odd to me and it sort of ruins the experience as well. It's frustrating to get along with someone you think is nearby but oh wait they are in Venezuela or Morocco lol. Green card scams perhaps? Is there any way to verify locations?
On the first day I was charges $29.99 for credit I didn't ordered on top of my $24.99 premium membership.
They have a policy of no refund so, I had to go trough PayPal to ask for a refund.
Believe me when I say the site is not worth it and I won't recommend it for anyone.
I love this app, really helped me find a lovely girl, to spend some time with. Highly recommended specially if you are just looking for lovely time.
Badoo allows the police to create fake profiles, pretending to be adults. Badoo, you should not be ok with the police using your website to try to entrap people.
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.
