Everything. Even this "article" om responding to is one of Badoo's many, many fake accounts/reviews. Badoo themselves actually use bots to create fake profiles, using photos stolen from social media pages. Most of the profiles are fake and ALL fake profiles are CREATED BY BADOO THEMSELVES! Badoo also uses an illegal pre checked box to get your money. They have stolen mine and many other people's money. Badoo and their staff are fraudsters and thieves who think nothing of engaging in criminal activities.

They allowed my profile to be hacked... Went to log in and got a message saying.. Wrong password... Thought I'd typed it wrong.....Did it again....Same message.... Tried to do a password reset... Using forgot password feature... It then said my e-mail address was wrong... It wasnt.... By now I'm getting annoyed.... I'd been on the site for a long time so knew my details were correct.... I then complained to Badoo....And they said I'd broken some violation rule....What a load of rubbish ! I've always been polite to anyone I've spoken to on the site.... And don't use rude words. So how can Badoo explain that my password was somehow wrong.....Reason...Because they allowed it to be changed ..... And I did'nt receive an e-mail to tell me it had....So to me member/profile security on the site is'nt very good.... And the violation excuse was how they tried to deny it.... Plus they did'nt even tell me what the so-called violation was either... I did get this from them on... Wed 02/02/2022 16:08 Your account has been blocked Badoo doesn’t work if we treat each other badly, and some of our users have reported that you’re breaking our Terms and Conditions. That is certainly not the case..... But earlier....Wed 02/02/2022 12:17.... Welcome back to Badoo Good to see you again, Nathan Since your last visit a whole bunch of new girls in East of England have joined Badoo and would love to meet you. Welcome back..... I'd never left.... I think the above more than proves that Badoo allowed my account to be hijacked....

Most men on here are married and pretend to be single, or in a relationship, or just looking for sex!

This article is inaccurate and probably only based on information from Badoo, not from actual experience. You cannot message any girl if you haven't matched, you can only message about 5% of them. As soon as they receive a few messages they become 'popular' and you have to pay to message them.
