.Himanshu said he is coming to meet me and my parents in dec...and on November 9th with lot of arguments he even said that he hAve conveyed his parents about our relationship and so on ...with that assurance and madly in love with him made me do all the things he wanted me to do even nude pics """and suddenly he stopped talking to me he didn't find the relationship compatible Why the questions where never ending and the world full of love care and importance vanished and left me just with pain lot of pain ...and then on 30th nov I came to knw he's already married ...I was been fooled cheated he made me a B.t.h I wanted to report this to police station a scam a torched all blames on me all problem in me why he ended the relationship ...and the false explanation he gave was bull s hit that his friend was talking to me taking his name lies lies lies that all was wht I got I emailed the entire chat history to Himanshu sharma's wife and guess what she was not even shocked ... She told me that's what he is and that what he been doing in his marriage and the reason she left for never coming back ... Will put more soon on this reality of online cheating ... All the chats all the photographs on a Facebook page describing the entire fraud and scam ...

I joined it Badoo a few days ago. then after visiting their site for a few days and not being able to send and receive messages because there was a annoying alert reminding me that I didn't have a such option called "Super Powers" which cost $12.99 which at the end I ended up becoming a member by purchasing those super powers just to send messages and be read by others. this took place on thursday night september 24 2015. then the next day I tried to send a message, but to the relief of evils I could not! ...there was again that same window telling me that if I wanted to send messages I must buy credits in order for me to chat. for me this sounded like a total rip-off, and I felt very mad and angry! ...So I contacted them and their answer was that if I didn't like it I could delete my account and leave their site, and that there was no refunds on their site. In conclusion for those who are about to join this site, I would like to tell them that this site is not just a waste of time, but also a place that everyday grows more and more with the contribution of every one who join their site, and badoo instead of appreciating such thing they turn against you, and all they want is to rip-you-off thats all. in my opinion websites like badoo should be banned from internet for ever and ever.

I choosed the option " don't reload automatic "/ auto refill off - see attachment/ by payment of badoo, but they charged my account against my will and permission. I wroted a several times for the badoo customer service, still without sucess, they don't will give my money back. This is only a shameless fraud, not even apologized me. Be aware, never trust and never give your bank data for this cheating gang.

Never pay for Badoo ! I used this application, but as I realized this automatic refill thing, I immediately switched off. After that, against my will Badoo charged my MasterCard with approx.6 GBP ! As I asked the customer service, they cant help my, and they don't found my account!
I wrote them, that is interesting, because I currently used my account to contact you ! They don't will to give me my money back, and don't assist me to solve the problem. This is not a service, if the customer must write every day again and again and they play the dumb and dumber..
Maybe should say at first " really sorry sir, we will check your case, and will inform you asap"... nothing.. Shameless, unintelligent group of people, they earn a lot of money from this business, and don't interested for the people.. Avoid Badoo, or be very untruly !

To warn all users, I will be contacting my lawyer about this and suggest everyone here to look on google under "badoo (Your name)" and see if you have been added to their list.

Badoo apparently got access to the facebook database and gotten personal information also images on our profiles without consent of mine, they taken my pictures of myself and posted that I am a female looking for another female, which I am happily married, they also taken my artwork from my profiles I share to my friends on facebook and posted it on badoo.com.

I also noticed that they have taken my husbands photo and put him on their to as a male dating others, this made him mad himself.

I also had a sister that passed away from ovarian cancer in 2011 I found her images here too as she was looking for others, this outraged me, this was a direct violation of both law and ethics, my sister is dead how could they do this.

I will be looking to talk to my lawyer about this and advise anyone else here to look into badoo this is for not only my safety but your safety as well.

Please post if you had a similar or have seen your profile now on badoo.com.

The above named man uses Sgt Machael on Badoo and Mateo Pifer on Facebook. I want to report him as a scammer. He builds up trust with ladies on Badoo then invites them to be friends on Facebook. So far I know he has asked 5 ladies including me to send money out to him using Western Union as far as i know from the ladies i have been chatting to he has failed to receive any money. I am making you aware of what he is like hoping that there is something you could do to stop him from targetting other ladies on Badoo. If there is anything you cando I would appreaciate it. Thank you

Absolute disgrace that they do not offer refunds for items you do not want but are more or less forced into getting. Having used the site via they're mobile app I suddenly found myself purchasing they're so called super powers and was left with no choice but to continue with the purchase as there was no cancel or back button. Certainly will no longer be using they're site at any time just a complete rip off. This company should be shut down and sued.

Badoo is a known fisher of contact lists. My buddy and I were complaining about this practice of theirs and trouble for me began just about 3 or maybe 4 days later. Badoo requires you to rate photos to increase your visibility to the online community. They don't bring this up at first but all of the sudden you notice balloon windows telling you that you must increase your rating of members to achieve higher visibility with our other members. Hey, at first that didn't seem like a big deal. It's really all they are doing. Anyway, I thought I'd just give it a go and began to rate photos that flash up on the screen and you rate them from one to ten. For the first day this was fine. However, on the second day they messaged me and told me that my ratings were inconsistent. First of all the people on this site go from your basic Betty or Homer to Barbie and Zeus. Why would someone rate a picture of Homer the same as they would Zeus? I shot them a message and told them that if they wanted everyone rated as beautiful then they should allow only beautiful people on their site or they should rate the photos themselves. They didn't like this. They almost immediately messaged me back (this message comes up right in the middle of your screen - so someone is actively watching - CREEPY) This message said that I was again providing inconsistent feedback and that if I didn't stop it they would preclude me from participating in rating the pictures. What? I mean really? Who cares? I told them to ahead and block me and while they were it to go ahead and wipe away my account. These people are up to something and it just doesn't set well. I doubt they will be around for long but I was hoping maybe you could post this somewhere visible to others.

Thank you, Matthew

Badoo is an unethical social web 2.0 service. At first it looks good and easy to access. But you realize quick enough that you felt into the trap. First, they assume at start that you're there to meet the "love one" and all kind of crappy people starts to look at your profile. and then, if you wish to get in touch in any way, TADA ! You have to purchase stupid credits. This is a stone age business model...

On top, what was my bad surprise to learn that Badoo took advantage of my contacts list to send an invitation to join Badoo on my behalf ! WTF!? Who in the name of god is crazy enough to do such thing ? This is outrageous ! No need to tell that I had to apologies to my very respectful circle of friends for such inappropriate intrusion and that I have immediately suspended my account.

For me now, Badoo is not only a NO GO, but also an AVOID AT ALL COST - and tell your friend to stay away from that crap !

I have never joined or even heard of Badoo. I got an email saying, "My full name, Chris left a message for you. Check your message here." I am married and have never joined any such site, and certainly not this one. They somehow got my first and last name, email address, etc. I do not even have a Facebook account, so I don't know how they got my information. I am extremely angry, this is identity theft and it could cause marital fights. If my husband would have had this email and I found it there would have been Hell to pay! Luckily my hubby was understanding and just asked me about it, but most people wouldn't be so understanding.

I found a friend telling me he tried to talk to me on Badoo and i didnt reply, i told him i don't know that application and don't know it, he showed me the profile called "Emmy" with MY photo on it!
And to my surprise and astonishment i found 4 more photos of mine stolen and put on that fake profile, and the details of it r expliciting things and details about my sexuality and job!
i got even more pissed off and am really upset and don't know wut to do!
I feel so VIOLATED!

This may or may not be with the knowledge of badoo itself, but from what i'm reading online they already have knowledge of extensive criminal activity so. . .
I logged into my online bank account on saturday evening to find four hundred dollars in charges for badoo taken against my checking account. It was in about $50 increments but all in 24 hours period. I didn't even know what a "badoo" was but in the last half hour of searching i've found plenty of information online about various types of fraud associated with or through this company. Not sure yet if my account was breached through debit card at a local vendor or online, or via checking account information itself. Reports to credit bureaus and sheriffs department. If they'd ever tell me who the d bag is, it would be worth it to me to spend five times that amount to travel to whatever hole in the wall in east europe this jerk lives in.
Bottom line - - don't use your debit card ever, apparently, except maybe at your own bank's atms.

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.
