Badoo Payment

From the 14th march in total you have charged me 29.93 for subscriptions that I cancelled and I still have another £5.97 in pending payments that you haven't taken.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me, you always double or triple charge and I have complained before and nothing has been done

I have proof on my banking application but it will not let me screen shot it on my phone

Desired outcome: Please refund me my money

Badoo Premium account

Badoo has blocked my account saying that I am discriminating against people or using hate language. I am a polite person I don't do this, though technically I guess every time you swipe left you are discriminating. I recently paid for a premium account along with buying 2,500 points and now I am blocked. I am asking that they either restore my account in full or refund the money I have paid to them recently. Otherwise I will take it up with my credit card company. My email address is [protected]@yahoo.com

Desired outcome: Restore my account or refund my money

They blocked my account saying I used inappropriate behavior while using the service. They investigated then determined that I did not behave inappropriately and reinstated my account. Now they have blocked again saying I have breached their terms of service. I am through dealing with Badoo. I request a full reimbursement for my subscription and the 2500 points I purchased online. They are not providing the service I have paid for. I don't care what they think the reason is anymore- if they were an honest company, they would provide a full refund if they don't want my business. I've never behaved inappropriately and they are unable to provide any proof of something that did not happen.

I was given a warning about a complaint somebody made about me. They turn back on my account so I'm happy. I'm very careful not to use mean or abusive language to anyone I can't imagine what this person said but maybe sometimes some people just don't like it when you're not interested in them.

Badoo Badoo

I just noticed ive been charged 3.49 everyday for almost 2 months now. I never signed up for any recurring payments. Ive gone through the steps to cancel but this "daily premium" is no where to be found. I have no benefits and it doesnt reflect anywhere on my account. I want this cancelled and refunded. I havent uses the app in weeks, after only speaking to scammers and catfish i stopped using the app. Even when i did use it i didnt have premium benefits. I dont understand why im be charged

Desired outcome: Please cancel and refund

Badoo Personal address info uploaded from my photo library

I requested my account to be deleted 2 months ago in an email because I restricted from deleting it on my own. Once you get to deleting your last picture, they forcefully lock you on a page requesting to upload a photo & verify your account with a Live Photo submission. When you click “Delete Account “ it keeps you locked on “upload a photo.“ I logged in to check page & my rent receipts, address, name, private photos were uploaded to the page! I have been receiving an excessive amount of cell phone calls from men! Badoo told me to log out of the site & log in! I’m Terrified!

Desired outcome: It’s criminal.

Badoo Blocked for no reason

After using the platform for more than 10 years and even paying for the lifetime premium; I receive an email out of the blue saying I've been banned due to a violation. This is clearly wrong and you can tell they don't even take the time to review the issue. It is well known that random people will report your account for pretty much ANY reason. Those who are wrongfully reporting are the ones you should look out for.

I've contacted the support team 3 times already and they straight out just say "don't contact us anymore" with an incredibly vague explanation. This is clearly a way for them to have you create a new account and pay for the services once again. I'll be sure to spend the amount worth of that premium into spreading this shady practice of theirs.

Desired outcome: 1) re-activate my account with an explanation, an apology, and compensation.2) Full refund

Badoo Account

Hi, I was using Badoo normally when my account was blocked because I was resported for offering services there, which I didn't. I was about to meet someone and now I can't even open it.

I always used the site to meet/chat and nothing more. I do not post anything outside the terms, which I read. I'm very confused.

Why was I blocked if I didn't do anything?

Desired outcome: Restore my account

Badoo Life time premium

I was looking to buy just a day premium from Badoo, but due to the layout, I accidentally purchased the lifetime option. I immediately contacted the feedback team, only for them to say that it is nonrefundable.

I would have understood if I have left it for a few days and then got in contact, but I sent a message straight away. I haven't got that kind of money to spare and what was meant to be £2 has now turned into over £100 which I simply can't afford.

It is very disheartening to know that a company is so quick to keep your money, especially in the times we are living in. I would like a full refund, please. If that is not possible, I will even be happy to be charged for yesterday (which is when the purchase was made), and today. I just cannot afford to be charged over £100 for this.

Thank you

Desired outcome: A full refund, please

Badoo Foul charging! Disgusting

Warning! Be prepared to be charged even without your permission! Systematically Don't link your bank cards to scammers named Badoo! I decided to download the app to meet somebody. Ok, 1.99$ not so much. I paid. But then I switched off any services. But Badoo thinks another way. I have been charging 7 times! I blocked my card. And Badoo support doesn't respond. Judging another people's storiesl Badoo doesn't refund. How Google play store allows to be here for such scammers!

I posted that through Play store as well.

After that Badoo wrote me:

"Hello,

Thanks for your message.

You were charged for the renewal of your Badoo Premium subscription.

Badoo Premium is a subscription-based service. When you purchased the service, the service conditions were listed on the payment page which explain how the subscription works.

According to our Terms and Conditions, this type of purchase is non-refundable. We have cancelled your subscription on your behalf so you will not be charged again for this service. You will still have full access to Badoo Premium until the end of your current paid subscription.

We believe that we have resolved your query, so we have closed this thread. If you have any further comments to add, please reply within 48 hours. After that, your thread will be permanently closed".

Really? Resolved?There are thousands complains throughout internet about scammed charging from Badoo ( especially if registered out of USA and Great Britain).

Even more! After being charged 7 times I still deserve to see blurred Fotos of persons who recently liked me.

I will sue you through Russian government and laws.

Desired outcome: I need refund!!!

Badoo Badoo account block

My account was blocked and no reason was given. ID [protected] I'm a respectful person, I have not done anything that I can think of that would create a situation where I am blocked.

I am glad to do any needed changes to my profile. email [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: Restore my account in full

Badoo Badoo

Account blocked unlawfully stating due to "rude or threatening behaviour". This is highly insulting as I have not ever had the interest of being rude nor threatening to anyone let along anyone using this app. I would like evidence of these claims otherwise resolve this issue and unblock my account as this is serious defamation of character.

Thanking you in advance.

I need this resolved ASAP.
