  1. Hi, Darvenne, thank u for responding…I may be overwhelmed with even more mail now, but it is okay, as I am here to answer any questions…It is worth ALL my time….I have been hit with a lot in almost a year and now I know more than I ever cared to know. lol!!! This con just sent his buddy to email me just now, can u believe it…With more of his lying bull shot!!! I told him to tell this con buddy to move on, I am moving away and to tell him to GROW UP!!! Many of these online scams for romance are organized by West Africa and Russia…I am hearing even in the UK now…And what’s with the military thing??? I read, Darveene, that one girl was writing to a” DEAD MILITARY MAN” WHO SCAMMED HER OUT OF 1200 via Western Union!!!! Some poor man was scammed for 300,000 and committed suicide!!~! I have read so many stories it would make your head spin!!!! When I think about how God saved my life, saved me from going over there, maybe never to return…..I cringe….I have never studied this much on anything since school!!! My man was in an organized group, for sure…..and I still cannot believe he is still trying to get me back…lol!!!! For your own good, go on Google and research as MUCH as you can about this subject….There is so much to absorb, I should write a book on it!!!I don’t trust this BADOO…I just read and even commented where 2 girls got money taken out of their account for this…But it’s FREE!!! I told them to steer clear…I have heard BAD things about this site…Sorry, but it leaves a sour ball in my mouth…These online scammers prey on innocent victims on these FREE sites…It’s just one more place to do their dirty work. But it’s just not internet dating scams they are all in on..They are also involved in OTHER online schemes…I think a few years ago, my company got scammed by a Nigerian when we used to have an E-Bay store and it caused horrific repercussions in our company account! THAT is when we learned about Nigerian scams….I am just learning NOW about romance scams…and sadly, it is getting worse. Back in 2010, a woman went to meet her online lover in West Africa…She got off the plane, got whisked off in a waiting car and held 4 days for ransom. Her family obliged with whatever money amount and thank Jesus she was released…That could have been me…or worse. Please, everyone, WATCH who u associate with online…Like I keep instilling, they are VERY GOOD, VERY CONVINCING…lol!!! I really do believe SOME do fall for ya(I am far from ugly…lol!!!)But trouble is, they are connected to bad people…and you can never trust them…Thanks again for responding, Darvenne…Feel free to email me if you need a friend.

  2. FG…I am happy if this woman u claim is okay so far on this Badoo site…However, if she starts asking u for money and with it a sob story, kiss her goodbye and move on…Sometimes it starts out slow, then speeds up like a Harley Davidson!!!! That can happen to…Be careful, go slow…and be leery, be on your guard….Write me if u do have any questions..or problems…Sweet P

    Well I think you are on the wrong website.?.or the wrong setting ?. I like the comment back in December that mentioned how some of these e-accounts are a group of counterfeit colleagues who are “doing a Boiler Room ” version of dating scams..I never have paid to enter those secluded membership groups and ..I wonder why some of these vivacious women would do it?.Pooling their resources for the naive who dare to enter!!!..All this fake documentation, and glossy appearance and who is behind the curtain , makes it kind of ill in one’s mind that you may be talking to a fat guy sitting in his shorts, telling you a script?.Perhaps this is where tomorrow’s new “fiction writers” begin. I think it is better to ..say as little as possible and let the rivers ebb and flo..until you know there is a person behind the mask, with some credibility ..the old maxim is still true….if it sounds too good, it is too good.” I know how that makes BADOO and
    others full of falsehood,but it is business. I personally like to use the adage ..if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, swims like a duck..it is conclusively a DUCK!. I was successful on my “BOX sting” ..remember to keep following up with letters , and clog up their output…

  5. Hi again, Darvenne….U r absolutely right!!!! In my case, my man was used as a “spotter” with his all good looking pix, some not even him either…..Then “others” were doing some of his messaging, changing around the grammar, good and bad…I knew this was not my man all of the time here….On Yahoo, “the spotter” (Supposedly my boyfriend)was on cam only a few times that he even allowed me to see him. Once, months ago, he showed up as a familiar face from one of his earlier some of his cute earlier pix, the OTHER FINAL cam “meeting” I see him looking older with “fur on his face”…..What the purpose of that was I don’t know…..So you DO NEVER KNOW REALLY who u r speaking to on these dating sites….As of today, Darvenne, this date, my online lover and his cohorts have not tried to get a hold of me, as to my last response to his buddy’s letter he had sent to me. I am hoping that is the last of him…”THEM”…. I am convinced they all are working in conjunction with one another, these Nigerians and Russians…and West Africa. And for others out there, u never know WHAT SEX you are affiliated with so don’t let the pix fool you…. I am pretty much healed now, the pain of losing a man I thought I knew, but I think of OTHER POOR WOMEN, who are doing right now what I did…Feeling what I did…So damn convinced he is “Mr. Right”…And with Valentine’s Day coming next week, these scam artists WILL try even harder to RACK UP with money, gifts, feeding these poor girls more of their bull stories. So happy I am no longer A “SITTING DUCK”, Darvenne…I have moved on, meeting others more “REAL” online……Keep plugging for all of us……

  6. Hey, Harish…Why does my “crystal ball” tell me u r here with a “threat” to our comments??? U know what this site with its comments are all about…Move on, please…and don’t come back here again with your disrespectful lingo, I am not buying this…If all of us here upset u in some way, so be it….

  7. Hey, Darveene and anyone interested…I just discovered something interesting here…Was able just NOW to get back into some profile again of my ex online scamming lover, with this BADOO…I am laughing my cute little tanned ass off because 2 weeks ago he was in Canada, this week he is in FLORIDA!!! lol!! I guess it was not working for him in Canada so he switched to Florida until someone else—-probably many—will see thru his game!!! By the way, he did many times when we had been together, tell me he had been in Florida as he has family there…HOPE HE GETS “BURNT” THERE TOOOOOO!!!!lol!!!!! My big laugh for today!!! Guys, girls, beware…These scammers change countries, etc. as fast as the seasons change…beware of them!!! PS…One girl mad some sort of sarcastic remark to him and I laughed…Guess she knows what he is all about…and what is funnier, another girl wrote him this long letter and left her yahoo address…Trouble is, I could tell right off the bat SHE IS AN ONLINE SCAMMER!!!!! This is too funny!!!!!

    Good Morning Ms Purice Nichols.

    I have a question to see if you think this is possible..When someone looks at a profile , you have to pay do you not ?.then why do I receive all these
    replies to a profile, that I never reciprocate to see theirs?.I find it difficult that a woman would pay $ to see a profile..?.I know its a equal opportunity
    world in some aspects….Though this makes me think that this is Network of colleagues!. I caught that Nigerian /woman/man/ scam about picking up some boxes in Malaysia , by inudating the person with a “fictitious story” of colleagues looking into other cities where the boxes were sent..I received a reply that “I was sick in my heard” ( heard means head!)..So gum up there messages by clogging their emails, with follow up messages that spam them!.It is all we can do!!!!.. Purice I think that the flim-flam man probably has a canadian citizenship, and maybe just picks up , and starts anew, on the internet I am really wondering the percentage of authenticity is ?.what 25% is Nigerian/Russian scammers, 25% probably the ” slow sell opportunists …create and see what happens over a long time. another 20% is authentic and the others well who knows?…like that girl you mentioned?..they are probably working in a network..of their own creation and probably grifters, flim flam ,low impact scammers, etc. I saw a woman on my account at BADOO last week a Russian woman with a Ghanian name Akosuis ???..even told her it was fake ?…One has to laugh to refrain from being too cynical …oh well happy valentine day Picura ,keep the faith ..!.keep up the good work !..

  9. Hi , Darvenne, So nice to see you here again….It was a hard day for me, Valentine’s Day, but a friend of mine on fb made it much better by arranging plans for Easter, so that made up for everything…This does not sound right, having to pay for profiles…Sounds like another scam….Just another way to grab your money…Don’t fall for it…..I have heard stories from other Badoo users who have gotten money deducted from their account from whatevers, and BADOO is NOT supposed to be doing this(Some are still trying to get back their money and it is very hard to get a hold of these Badoo people)…..PLUS anything else far fetched and ridiculous from “another country” to go with it, is a SCAM….I have heard it all on all ends…lol!!!!! You know what to look for after awhile…As far as Badoo goes, I wish with everything that is in me, you would please cancel this account and get out and find another more reputable dating site, Darvenne….Yes, I am quite sure she or he is a Russian Scammer just waiting to hook you and scam you for money, Visa, what ever their reason…..My ex “online lover” is “now in Florida”on Badoo(I can see just a bit of his profile when he stupidly told me to get an account on here, but I am not inside it altogether, as I believe he has to approve the applicant? He told me once he saw I had applied, I laughed and said you told me to apply!!!!)…Last week he was in” Canada”…..I was even able to see where one Russian scammer or Nigerian was trying to scam him with the comment letter she left him to go and answer to “her” yahoo address….. I died laughing!!! He and his cohorts are scamming from West Africa….I know all about what he and they are up to…..He belongs to an organization of Russian and Nigerian scammers that do many different things for money over there…..However, my situation is a bit different from many peoples, as I knew who many of them were, etc…as he “kept it in the family” deal with friends, etc…, run BY these Russian and Nigerian men…It is a “perfect”thing they have going, so they think, as they never SUSPECTED anyone would catch on, but I was the right detective for the job and I surprised the pants off them!!!. Just be on your guard, Darvenne, and know that there are many dishonest people on these dating sites, mainly from out of the country. From my experience, I am calling it “an organization” because that is what mine was…..There are so many out there…The numbers just keep growing, as sad it sounds…..Thanks for writing, stay leery…So far u r doing a great job…:)

    Thanks Purice

    I think that BADOO is the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated of Dating
    Sites…I actually have been commuting between DC and the Midwest and
    always find these tantalizing Russian Models who are looking for a “fish”
    I reportedly fell into conversation a few weeks ago with one..and lo and
    behold another appeared just last night ?…and do you know that they are
    not living in Washington?.they are currently still in Russia , though this
    one may be different???..The Other left last weekend after trying
    everything to hook, but what can one do..! Purice ?…your number growing idea!

    Though I will try to extricate myself from it , my old girlfriend is not even
    there anymore…and there is a lot of anchor baby mamas..and models with dubious indigent backgrounds..I will stay leery , and I have never paid for a profile, and I believe they never do also..?…but what a “Organization” wants with
    keeping someone on the hook until they can pay off ?….how long did your ex-keep you on the hook ?..until the turn around…Good Luck with smashing the schemes…Also lot of lost women in Malaysia ..same as men in West Africa..I think that is due to Accra and the English speaking southern part of the continent.
    I also found out that the Russians ..speak a stunted english, though ..do not like someone to write back in the Old Cyrillic ..strange !..got to run keep the faith Purice….I;ll try to get out of BADOO..

  11. Hi, Darveene, Thank u for listening to me…Get off this site…IT is just one big scam and even Badoo themselves is up to something, for sure!!! I am sure you can find a more reputable dating site for just the right one…Many are just a man or woman from West Africa(I even nailed the time zone 8-9 hours from my state here, it was somewhere in West Africa, not in Morocco where he said he was speaking from, although I did discover he had connections there, no doubt that was true…I was planning on visiting him, so I knew plenty:::)They can be speaking from anywhere…Mine is in Florida this week and last week he was in Canada and God knows where he said he was on Badoo BEFORE I discovered his profile on there…lol!!!! He is just out looking for money, Visa, a way to leave his country…However, we were in a nice relationship for 8 months, but after Christmas, her started acting weird so I did some lengthy investigating…I am so glad I did or if I could have gone over there to meet him and Lord knows if I would have come back or what!!! I have only seen him 2 times on cam, once without a beard, the last time with a beard, which freaked me out because it was like I was looking at a terrorist(Knowing where he was from, that is)and it scared me…The million other times he would tell me he didn’t have a cam so he got to see me and I let it go…..Until the end, when I wised up…The face I saw in the end was not the wonderful personality matching this guy, whose pix WERE on my fb, but along with other pix that were probably just friends….I broke it off when I realized he was cheating on me, that things were not right and I knew what was going on…If it weren’t for me, we would undoubtedly STILL be together…I believe whoever I was with DID love me…I swear to God…..A woman just knows…..We had too much going on for one another, plans, laughs, marriage, his jealousy, etc…He even called me his “wife” and I knew he did care…I believe there was ONE MAN who did actually love me…But I wanted NO PART of what he was involved in or this Badoo thing(If even he himself was the actual man who is on Badoo, which it could have been the scruffy bearded guy, my man had more class, although he could be childish at times…lol)or any other thing they were all involved in to make a buck…It could have been drugs, prostitution, many other online scams…..He actually only asked me to help him once a month with 100 dollars for his internet service, which I know now, he just wanted some money for himself…maybe hoping one day I would give more…It is so involved, Darveene, I still shed a few tears, as I miss the man who i thought I knew….Two weeks ago was the last of his friends trying to contact me as I have him “blocked”from my life…However, a strange name appeared on my Yahoo today with a request to be in my contacts…I refused…Didn’t seem right…How many people even KNOW I have a Yahoo account aside from my cousin and…HIM??? I am doing better, with friends like yourself who can relate a bit…my real friends I have on fb and outside of that…I am even on 2 online scam sites as this thing is just getting worse by the day…..People out there are just trying desperately to make a living today, as our economy is soooo very bad and as you know, no work in these foreign countries…So this is what they have resorted to…..It is just too bad it has to be so——corrupt? Keep in touch, always glad to hear from you, Darveene….Yes, I will keep the faith…God is helping me as well…:)PS..If I can help even ONE person out there or even help ease someone elses’ pain, it helps me as well get through what I lost….God bless you…

  12. Good for you, Lerato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello

    I have been reading all of this about badoo site. I am involved with a man who came clean with me. We have been having a relationship for some months now. I see him on cam all the time when we talk. He is planning to come here to the states where wr are to be married. I am now concerned if all of this is true and do you think I should continue with the relationship? Please do not post my name or email.

    Thank you

  14. Darvenne says:

    I Think this letter is of dubious distinction..because in due course, the overall effect of Marketing comes into a problem…to counter the opposition. We are on this sight
    to bring complaints and asking “why ” ” Who ” or discussing policy of BADOO or
    other scamming behaviour within the structures of these “organizations”.Personally
    the Marketing Departments of these companies will surreptitiously counter these
    accusations by putting doubt to our intentions ..we are here only to solicit information to unanswered questions that tend us to question the “authenticity and
    genuine intentions of the sites”…BADOO and other have their own agents to disspell
    the belief that the sites ..are of questionable content” and are truthful in their displays.One has to come away with this ..understanding that everyone has their “own agenda”..I have to admit that CAM;s are cameras..but it is always better
    to pick a neutral spot for all meetings. Though maybe Picura she can explain it better. ..she knows about CAM”s…I guess one has to believe ????…good luck.
    though remember life is a risk anyway….

  15. To Annie and anyone reading this: ESPECIALLY BE WARY OF ANYONE WHO CLAIMS HE OR SHE IS IN THE MILITARY!!!!!!!!! BIGGEST SCAM GOING YET!!!!!! I read last week somewhere that some poor innocent woman was romancing a man she fell in love with who claimed to be in the military and wired him a total of 12oo via western union for whatever his reasons…Come to find out, the guy has been deceased now for maybe 2-3 years!!!! It’s a scam and using this scam on BADOO is no different than any other dating site!!!! Please, be careful who you are associating with!!!!! These people are good or so they thought with me…My situation was a bit different, a bit more personal and intricate, but none the less, I broke it off(Thru fb, Yahoo…)and I am here now, along with some other “online scamming romance sites” to help anyone I can who may get scammed…may BE getting scammed…and what to look for!!!!! If anyone wants to write me, their message will first end up here but I AM able TO SEND OUT PRIVATE REPLIES…….Other than that, all replies will be posted here for all to see…I am here if anyone needs someone…..

  16. TRAE says:

    LOL they tried to scam me …pretended to be george perdersen US army in Iraq with a daughter in GHANA with a hole in her heart and a nurse maid …Wanted me to send money for a ticket so she could be with me until he gets out of the army in a few months …Funny when he called he had a distinct accent and i couldnt stop laughing … These creeps should be charged of something

  17. Hi, Trae!!! So glad you didn’t fall prey to it…They use every trick in the book, everything they can think of and this Military malarkey is no exception!!! Just one more of us like yourself out there who is wise…and many more to follow who will be joining us!!!lol!!!! Glad you tuned in…write again if you get any more “laughs”…I can always use one!!!

  18. I was on badoo for some time and met an army man from Liverpool where my home is. The date was terrifying to say the least. He got a knife out then proceeded to cut himself. He tried to get me to pysically attack him. I was extremely concerned for my safety! I sent a number of emails to badoo telling them how dangerous this man is and said that he should be removed from the site. Badoo did not respond at all and he is still on the site to my knowledge.

  19. Dear Colette…..I just received this from Radar here…I am so very sorry this happened to u, u must have been so very terrified, but thank Jesus u r okay, to say the least!!! However, I cannot say MENTALLY this won’t haunt you for a very long time… I don’t know where u agreed to meet this lunatic, but first big mistake, sweetie, DON’T EVER AGREE AGAIN to meet ANYONE WHOM U DO NOT KNOW alone!!! Meet them in a public place and feel the situation out!!!! You never know what to expect and in your case, Guess what???!!!! Second, I doubt very much if he was even in the army(Maybe I am wrong), sounds like some psycho who could have done more than bodily harm to himself, but it sounds like he could and WOULD have done you in with him, sweetie!!! You got off lucky!!! Badoo is NOT going to stand by you with this, believe me…They probably figure what you see is what you get and it is up to your adult “over 18 discretion” to deal with whatever card is handed to you. From what I know, have read…and a bit experienced, this dating site BADOO IS VOODOO!!! GET OFF THIS DATING SITE, as it is known for its scammers, etc…. Please do everything in your power to close your account and next time you even THINK of using another dating site, check into one that has more credibility, please!!! I am just coming out of a bad situation with a con man, who I myself had an online relationship with for 8 months…Long story……Let’s just say, I could have gone to MEET HIM, as we had been seriously planning, and I often wonder if I would have ever come back to the USA, my home…Good luck, be on the look out for these scam artists online…Go to google and look for “ONLINE ROMANCE SCAMMERS”. This will tell you everything to look for and what to be aware of that is out there, and getting worse online..facebook, etc. is no exception, in fact THAT is even getting bad for its online scammers!!! Good luck, sweetie and God bless…Tune in again if you have anymore malarkey go on, but after you would read what Google pulls up, I think you could safely say “It will never happen to me again”…..

  20. Thankyou for your mail. I have indeed left site as that scared me shitless. He was in army! An officer no less. He showed me pictures. I think Afgan messed him up. But to anyone just makesure you meet in public! I learned the hard way.

  21. Darvenne says:

    I have to agree that BADOO is a dubious organization, though in a months time..I have unearthed a whole organization that is called IDL Interracial Date Link , that is
    a nest of Nigerians,Southerners,and probably some old escort service members(smile)..percentages are unbelievable….out of 14 inquiries 13, have shown themselves to be scammers..I waited them out..and the 1 left, ..gave me the old show me some dignity! .I am a woman..I personally do not know that of her yet?

    Some big scammers in this group ..sarah _james [email protected] the trademark is holding true to previous scambusters..

    1. Yahoo..though rocketmail is approaching..anyone know why that is ?
    2. at least with BADOO..the women pictures are of themselves..and have some
    degree of validity..though there is trickery and fakery,I do not doubt that!

    3.The long letters in the beginning are probably 4-5 paragraphs..christ who
    wants to read the whole story !..long winded ..they exhaust you with the
    explanations.
    4. then after that no explanation of their daily affairs..nothing , probably a church
    visit on sunday ?.so the big letter followed by a glib,short hello.and how are
    you?…They should do a SNL script on these scammers..
    5. I have been found by the Hive, and they screen my emails…so find another
    one.

    So I.DL watch out!…all caucasian women are advertised ..what is that all
    about, ? and I am open to all races, but why do they do that???..so that is
    my report…..

  22. Hi, Darveene, I am laughing…And the saga continues…Hey, I just tried to get into the “semi look” at my ex con’s profile on Badoo here and all day I am not able to log in…Server says temporarily not available??? Seen something previously when he had changed his place from Canada to Florida…lol!!! I have a feeling he is changing “countries” or what have you again…Can’t wait to find out where he “moves to next”!!!! All this stuff just keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it, Darveene? An SNL script you say on these scammers??lol!!! I should do a screenplay on these people and probably make millions off it!!!!! PS…Don’t forget the good ol’ Russians are in on it too…….Unbelievable what u did unearth!!Not so sure the woman are not fake pix…MY brother got a fb request from a Russian scammer just 2 weeks ago. Womens’ pix can also be stolen off of dating sites, etc. and used just like men. Trouble is, you just can never be too sure today…lol!!!

  23. Dear Annie, just noticed your comment above about how this jerk GOT your name and email address…First off, you are on FACEBOOK, like me…we all have friends who have friends who have friends and so forth….With so many facebook scammers even on facebook, anything is possible…and nothing surprises me….These scammers are good….Just be on your guard…and only accept mutual friends of friends…and know WHO you can trust with these fb friends…I had to delete a foreign guy off my list, who I believed I could trust as he was supposed to be my other friend’s cousin…I got a red flag when he kept wanting to go to YAHOO and tried to put me on to this dating site…Other things too didn’t seem right, so I deleted him…I was getting bad vibs about him…..Just be on your guard and change your email address if you have a lot of other problems. Don’t know if maybe it is in your info dealing with your profile or what, where my friends on fb can see my Gmail account but never had any problems. And I am just learning thru my experience with my ex con, when he flubbed up and tried to get me into BADOO(As I had deleted him off my fb and he tried to get me back on again thru his BADOO as he has something set up like this with what he had been doing)that it is thru facebook….Now because of his screw up, I can at least SEE part of his profile and how often he is online, but cannot get in…lol!!!!! I think this week he is trying ti “move into another country” as his site is temporarily indisposed…Maybe tomorrow he will “be in Germany”…lol!!! Online dating is okay, but not everyone is so lucky to find “Mr. or Ms. Right” because you just never know who to trust here……

  24. Cidalia says:

    I have been getting alot of emails also . I did chat with a few guys on the site, and it seems to me also that, they are all in Africa working, either construction or jewelry salesmen. And yes they are divorced with kids and the wives have died , or they left the child with them and moved on.
    I have pictures of them and the child , but in the back of my head i have been wondering about this site. I pray to GOD that the ones that are lying will rot in HELL.

  25. Hi, Cidalia, So glad u took the time to care enough about yourself to post this……And don’t be ashamed when I finish here, because although you don’t know me from Adam, I went through with my “ex con” and it started at Facebook then to Badoo and just last nite I am back to Facebook with his “stalking me again thru friends”…It just never ends…So this is why I am writing to u, because DON’T LET IT EVEN START”, GIRL!!!!! Please, lissen to me….These men with their phony pix of themselves and their kids and the ol’ song and dance of how their wives are dead and the construction scene and what have u, is BOGUS!!!!!! They are nothing but ONLINE ROMANCE SCAMMERS just wanting to prey on an innocent victim such as yourself so they can bleed the hell out of your pockets, bleed your poor broken heart when they decide to book after they have either been found out or you dump their sorry ass…And you can be sure as the sun rises and sets, sweetie, to find these scammers on facebook, free dating sites, even paid sites…and BADOO is no exception. In fact, this dating site BADOO is a great booby trap for poor, defenseless women such as yourself!!! My advice to you would be to GET OFF THIS DATING SITE, find one a bit more reputable, more credible…..And I am going to give u a bit of homework today to do so you can educate yourself in what “ONLINE ROMANCE SCAMMERS” are all about…..The majority of SCAMS, whether it be online romance or 419 scams, are a scam…It is even getting so Online Romance scams are coming from Russia, the Philippines, even the UK….. Go to Google and type in “ONLINE ROMANCE SCAMMERS” and this will lead you to every bit of information you could ever hope for, sweetie…It took me one month to get on board with everything and I am still learning here…..One thing will lead to another thing and in time, as you become educated and know what to look for, you will be on your guard for these sort of people and organizations out there. Now I am an advocate with online romance scam sites to help others who may need some guidance. Don’t worry, girl, maybe we can’t have the pleasure of doing the punishing, only to warn and advise other victims like ourselves, but one day, God will handle all the “monkey business” and I wouldn’t want to be any of them when that day comes!!!!

  26. Darvenne says:

    I tend to agree with Purice on the inevitable influence of these sights. I always laugh when I read, father dead ,mother crippled living with me …though if you look at someone from Rwanda,Congo or war torn Africa, it could be legitimate?.though that is the invite!. Usually the dead parents is the lead in.makes one wonder how long they will last ( if the parents went that fast!). And they quickly give you the …soulmate thing. I still haven’t figured out this one in England..Though I think the reluctance of new pictures could be the coup?. I never had to dispute my ex-girlfriend of Brazil, probably because she didn’t speak clearly..and was always too busy to send letters, due to going to the Internet Cafe. I think this “new crop ” of the Nigerians, and Russians are outfitted with super updated computers and phone connections, so its a more prominent business..”super scammers” and groups ,and ancillary operatives…so as Purice mentioned ..it is difficult to discern ” what you’re receiving without questioning everything!….as for rotting in Hell, well I think they are impervious to even believing in anything except the ” SCAM”..good luck out there.

  27. Dear Deanna, Just read your comment and although it happened over 4 months ago, it is never to late to do your online homework..If u haven’t bothered after this sad experience of having your pockets bled and your heart to go with it, type in on GOOGLE “ONLINE ROMANCE SCAMMERS” and you will find everything needed to stay in tune with what is out there. FB, sadly, has many run-ins a lot now with online scammers, I hate to say, and there are many dating sites such as this one even, who are just getting worse by the day!!!! But it is up to us guys and gals out there to know what to look for and if anyone has been burned, never to let it happen again….Hope things are better for you, sweetie, financially…..and hopefully since then, better romantically.

    So Purice anything new out there?..I am kind of new at webcams..what is some of the things you have to notice..or how can one get the scammers into the “picture”.I always get that story about “the messengers are not working? . And I do not belong
    to Facebook..though there is so much tie-ins between these websites..wow!. How are you doing out there?.

    i have been reported on badoo of trying to scamm they are users which i know nothing about , if badoo can just been blocking people bcs someone has report them without checking whether if the person is telling the truth or not that means it is very bad and pains me the most now is they said they have send my information to my local authorities ,i really want to know if they will do that before i action bcs my picture is there i want to defend myself i need some prove from them these is all about embassment.

    Alexandra ..I would like to say this is one of those analogies..from older times
    that if one looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck..then
    all assumptions are that you ..are reputably a Duck!. Are you Russian
    ? or just someone who has some form of dubious nature about you?
    Look I do not know if you’re are “real” or “not” though BADOO has its
    moments.It may be that you are under attack because of certain
    aspects of your profile, pictures, names, and contents of files are
    perused by many, some of these members looking for a woman are
    driven by the notion that everything is Authentic..Men are visual
    driven, and would never believe that someone was scamming ..I as
    a male know what I am talking about!. Lot of the profiles are just
    make believe and its all suspect or not?..Sorry you got caught in the
    trap, but ..everything is under investigation with dating sites..I have n
    -o problem with your nationality or who you are..though on this sight
    we do …wonder off the contents and you are probably very beautiful,
    and honest, and of high character,…..though it is all smoke and
    mirrors Alexandra. ..Sometimes the dolphin gets caught in the tuna
    net. Though there is also agents working for BADOO who are
    trying to start a counter-argument that they re full of falsehoods..
    everything is ……on the level..I knew my old girlfriend on the sight
    before she joined, though there is some ….weird things with the
    whole sight ??????reallly weird ?…personally I think you may have
    to start over and build some trust..and go from there!..and if you are
    a scammer ..well I do not know what to say!

  31. Hi, Alexandra….Now this is real weird…I have been getting a few letters from this director Frank Matseo, director of BADOO who started BADOO(He is from Ghana, no big surprise)who OPENLY ADMITS this so called “dating site” is a big scam and that 80 percent of the profiles on here are false, it is meant to have fun, that although there are genuine members, he has the nerve to try and get donations to keep this site going, knowing all of this, and even has a bank transfer place where money can be wired!!! Can you imagine this???? Relax, how can they even be thinking of doing such nonsense to you when they are scamming themselves???!!! My advice to you is, just get off of this scam site and move on and don’t look back…What they probably are trying to do, sweetie is, scare you into getting money out of you so you really BELIEVE they will go to the authorities(BULL)and thinking you could make “payment arrangements”, they are using this hogwash hokes against you to try and get it…They are out to pick pockets from foreigners and they will use every angle in the book to do it…So remove yourself from their clutches and please, in the future, watch what dating site you use….There are thousand of scammers on them just ready and willing to break your bank account and break your heart. Good luck, sweetie…

  32. Darvenne says:

    Anything goes …I saw a Russian woman with a Ghanian name ..?. Strangest thing there is a ‘chorus ” of admirers that follow you, when you make a comment!..with their comments..so you end up getting all these hits on your email..and find the same guys there..it is so funny!!..I think the fake pictures lifted from a porn or model ,or actress file runs a close second…I wonder if there is a Amish dating site ,…it might be corrupted also!.what a world!.good luck out there !

  33. Darvenne says:

    Well I had a interesting exchange with a woman from BADOO ..I had previously
    mentioned that there was this intriguing way that the Russians would make a bite and then rush off the sight. Now I have been following this mystery of this place called New York City Iowa ..actual true place ..but what is in the water to bring forth all
    beautiful women ??..well actually started to put down some ….lines on a woman about how I don’t believe you are in Iowa?.and did it in italiano, and english and actually spouted the whole idea that its all falsehoods..Well later that next day ,I received this invite from this woman Russian ..I knew it by looking at she was not there, and there was no mention to the scathing remarks and denial of her! ( LOL)

    So a few days later she is sending me long letters of her place and where she is living in Russia ,,and I write back in Cyrillic and she just keeps rambling on about how she has this cat!..( last woman Anila had a Dog!) ..it is really hilarious.now reading that Purice said it is all about entertainment according to the creator of the site..it is kind of funny ..who is filtering the real information streaming back to her???..I had just finished up with the last woman from IRDL ..she held up for awhile, but after I stopped sending emails..they never lead ????.she disappeared over the weekend, though she denied up to the last minute of sending some ..new pictures???..and the old meet up time angle?. They actually have no content, the daily, the minutiae of everyday life is never approached..one wonders what these nigerians, and russians who have no life.are actually looking to score ..what 1 out of a thousand ?.Here is a funny trick to do to them .
    Send multiple emails . throughout the day..and do you know what happens ???they return each letter with a reply ?..why answer all 4 emails, when you can just
    send 2 ?. they never do anything except go to church ??.though after reading some of these comments..I have to admit ..their antics really do not change much ..15 out of 15 all fake..not bad!…good luck out there folks..and thanks for the update Purice on the great Leader of BADDO..That’s entertainment!. now onto
    XXX Cupid before my work schedule picks up…I also belong to a place called HI5 overseas..may want to check up on that if you are curious!..later

  34. Hi, Darveene, Amazing and entertaining letter!!! lol!!!! And of course, the saga continues…Here’s something just as entertaining FOR YOU: For some reason, FINALLY someone just kind of “allowed me in”(Maybe the Director???)into Badoo site,as you know, my “ex” for some silly reasons, got me to fill out an account with them with some info, but I was never ever able to get in…2 days ago I finally hit the jackpot, as a message came to me thru an email with a password and everything…Okay, so let’s have some fun, I say…lol!!! I am, Darveene!!! I NOW have a profile, pix that “suddenly appeared of me from fb…mmmm) and my scale is the way on high!!! lol!!!! What fun!!! I am checking out fakes, phonies..and real deals, as I am that good, Darveene….I have even connected to “some of my past” and just letting it flow for now, having fun…I wanted to see for myself what was really going on behind the curtain and now I have…..This is a panic!!! I just tell on my profile”Wanna flirt”…lol!!!! Interesting where and “who”just comes out of the woodwork…Take care and keep writing!!! PS>>Those “Russians, man or women behind the scenes, never give up and are the most obvious…lol!!!!

  35. PS>>Any guy who goes on BADOO and sees my name PURICE NICHOLS will see A REAL GIRL, NO FAKE PIX, THE REAL DEAL!!!!!Come visit me, chat if I feel I want to, but not interested in phony guys, guys!!!:))))

  36. chaba says:

    I pray that scammers will stop fooling people.I try to LOVE them,give them compassion and I hope that my love for human being could change them into good persons.May they walk in the right way.

  37. chaba says:

    Loving scammers please stop. God is seeing you.When you stop these scams.I am sure God will reward you much more than you have gotten from the painful people,much more.

  38. Darvenne says:

    Chaba

    I do think casting aspersions toward the scammers is noble, and I would think the wrath of God and any deity will not keep them from their “appointed rounds”.Though remember the “quote” ..Do not accept anything as the truth if it .lacks love, and do not accept anything as love which lacks truth”.though the scammer accept it as their. lot in life?. I guess the financial ..takes precedence over the
    reality.And personally Chaba ..I think they like the Reward after the scam $$$ then the reward of a benevolent deity. The reward was cancelled out when they knew the odds were against them in life ..and decided to pursue the course.!.sorry to say but its the way of the world.good luck out there!

  39. Darvenne says:

    I was “rounding up the usual suspects today” .I had mentioned how this one website just for some curious reason..has a Portal where scammers just with no notion that it is being watched, just keep lining up to send their “True stories”
    LOL. indeed. I found a dutch website that actually had the same scammer that
    sent me a inquiry..one reads the letter and systemically take it apart..the school DTTI came up with the dutch anti-scammer hit…same scenario that I received originally received from Abuja ,Nigeria !!!well that doesn’t surprised me , the Nigerians always have a curious way to spell “cause” they give it that Caribbean
    “coz” always a bullseye,when I see it!.so I just sent the whole exchange back to them…I have noticed that they are putting more “content” into their scripts, but the Father dying early and the Mother living with them , and then they move away from the USA to places in Europe and usually London???.A reputable and well known hangout for the Colonial Nigerians??.As I said before, baffle them with language and they fall apart.!.Oh well onto other matters..I just hope my pictures are not out there trying to convince someone that this handsome guy is them ?..One just hates these times!!good luck out there and look toward the skies for prayers and guidance .though keep your
    common sense and wits about you!

  40. anotherone with a brain says:

    Some comments really leave me speachless.

    Who, even with the smallest brain on earth, can believe someone who is asking for so much money through social networking site.

    It is embarrassing to the human kind that some of you fell for such bullshit.

    I’d advise that you stop using the internet has you are not able to do this safely. Would you give a car into the hands of someone who has failed his driving test 10 times?

    Wake up people. Scammers are one of the worst and more popular things you can find on any social networking site; unfortunately human intelligence is required.

    Always approach whoever is asking for personal details, money, or any other thing with a strong inquisitive tone, or either f..k around with them and let them run in circles.

  41. Save your breath, sweetie…I am one of the BIGGEST authorities on what to look for with online scams…So freaking educated and smart i could teach classes…People come to me for personal advice and I am out there helping anyone I can…BADOO is one of the biggest scam dating sites you will ever come across…I am on there now, just having fun, fucking the scammers around…and the longer I am on, the smarter I get…They are way too dumb for me…Anyone who needs advice, just write me thru here and I will private message if need be…Have a good day all…Biggest brain of all…

  42. Darvenne says:

    Well You are the biggest brain now Purice?…I guess you were fooled once hmm….I have to admit that the dating sites were less populated with the artificial.or the “stranger then fiction “outtakes..I noticed that the Russians at least follow a certain pattern ..I kind of admire that the women have this degree of validity about them ?.they at least do not tell you their father is dead,mother lost her leg in a skiing accident, and my uncle was a archbishop with the Church of Sacred Heart and the soul of Jesus Christ ..who helped us out and found us a place to live in London…or Leeds..or Manchester..The Russians just want the damn relationship to move from a few letters to ..I m leaving on a jet plane for you!..well they”ll give you a week or two(smile).though the Nigerians do not have a grasp of reality it is based on the Old Colonial stamp, of missionaries….I think the game is more deeper then it was?.The Russian or Ukrainian bride game is more marketable now but facts tell us that Russia is a wealthy country again ..so there could be someone else doing there work?…Purice if you read this ..that Old Chorus of
    admirers they do not doubt anything of content …or feedback telling that those pictures ..or person is not authentic ? why is that ? I wonder if they are a computer generated ..what you think ?..well have to run….just remember …take the game to the scammers..they waste your time..waste there time also..laterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.good luck

  43. Hi, Darveene…I must admit, if u know me here and have read all my messages, I was fooled once…Very much so…I have dwelt with Russians, West Africans(Not black, let’s say)…groups….playing a part in a twisted game for money, sex and let’s not forget fun…They make up different profiles. thousands of them, if u must, and play games with them…I was dealing with a man who just happen to have a few in on it to play along…and it was supposed to be made up of one man…Yes…lol!!! Very good…And these “models”, men, on Badoo…I have to laugh….so phony, look like from a website someone happen to mentioned that dwelt with these sort of images…Yes, they waste your time, but they will never get another freaking chance to waste mine again, sweetie…Take care, Darveene…Always nice to hear from u…

  44. Darvenne says:

    hey Purice thanks for the kind reply and the “behind the scenes ” approach to all this…Yes no harm done by being among the flock!…My old girlfriend she made off with a few extras..$ all is fair in love and war?..Though you are right it is all about money ,sex and ..yes fun..and wherever the twin should meet.My apologies on not explaining the ” chorus thing” more effectively ..In BADOO not YOU Purice ..you know very well already…..but there is a chorus of guys who ..chant all these beautiful incantations of the displaying of beauty in front of them..sure I done it ..no one is immune..I just have too much detective DNA within me !.But are they real..the same people show up ..some old Greek ship magnate..a lot of Latinos who ” do they really believe the person in front of them is who she is ?..I just wonder if that is just part of the scammers..the Flatterers always follow me ..if I leave a comment….then you look at your email..and it says ” you have 12 comments to the sight for Anna”..veery funny stuff!!..I guess there is no one of less then beautiful stature..I guess you are included in the most beautiful now !..My compliments!.As I explained my old ex she has a 29 year old woman ,holding her place now..I …BADOO is a hive of activity…I can’t make sense of why the normal person would think that all these beautiful women live in New York ,Iowa ?????..I guess there is a Wizard of Oz who does live behind the curtain..Maybe that old Director you know ???..well thanks for the reply..have to go to lunch,take care and ..try to keep your admirers at bay!!..I ahve to talk to a russian now ..hey need a diversion!.

  45. Hi, Darveene…Thanks for the compliment…At least you know I am for real…but amongst the fake and famous on Badoo, sad to admit…lol!!! Just a joke!!! I can say in my situation, the ones who have visited, want to chat, have chatted, ARE all one of the same in their group, which NOW I am familiar with, have been dealing with them, as they know who I am and that I am a favorite of theirs from past times…If you can get my drift…lol!!! Anyway, I can spot a scammer and I know their lingo above their caption that they use…I just don’t play into their hands…It is interesting how they come,these same guys, and try different profiles…Have only actually spoken to a few real guys that I know r for real…..But let therm have their fun, Darveene…Have to make a living doing something and it may as well be scamming, right?lol!!! Take care, sweetie…

  46. Alex Mayers says:

    I clicked on an application on Facebook, then suddenly I get mails saying “Someone wants to meet me”. It claims people like my profile (which I don’t remember setting up!). Today they say that some of my photos have had to be moderated. What photos???? I haven’t uploaded any!!!!

  47. Hi, Alex…As u well know, facebook and Badoo dating site are linked, so there is a connection here….If you now do have a profile on facebook, which I am thinking you do by saying you clicked on an application for facebook…so yes, you probably can be expecting emails from Badoo saying all this…Just a way to get more people to join their site, and thru facebook, a person can….They know u don’t have a profile or any pix to “be moderated”….They probably want you to just come on over!!! lol!!!! Don’t be too alarmed, however, be careful on fb who u accept for friends, though…Some could be on Badoo and take your pix and just go ahead and do a profile of u without you even knowing it…So if u r on fb, just be careful…You never know who your friends really are…

  48. Bee says:

    Hello Nichols…I wanted to send my messages to new people on badoo to be careful to scammers,espacially to women 40-60 yo as scammers are looking for lonely people.After having sent to 5 people,Badoo warned me that I have to send something interesting and Badoo has limited to send my messages to new people,now I have been limited for only 3 new people to whom I can send message.So I want to believe that Badoo is a scammer itself.

    This is my message to people” if a man contacts you and tell you so fast that he loves you and one day he wants to come to visit you or send you a parcel and ask you to send money …,you have to be careful because they can be ascmmer.”

    That was my message that has been considered by Badoo not interresting.

    I believe that this is a 2 way street ..because a scammer could be either man/woman/…though we who are men ..are entertained or under the impression that there could just as well be a Man under the disguise of a woman.?…The only difference is that the Woman?( scammer Man ) waits at least a week..before they say “I love You” .BADOO looks at this as a entertainment session…Though BADOO does close off certain accounts and the perpetual flight of the Woman( a Russian Woman ) goes to another profile..with a different city and opens up business again.( it is so funny).how to make BADOO more honest ..put down denigrating remarks to the client and portray her as a “fake” ..this is how the website has to be vigilant on chasing these fakes around..though they just move to another profile, and start all over again.?..it is like chasing a mouse from one hole to a more difficult to find hole..Yes BADOO is a very devious and ineffective sight..but hey have fun!..

  50. Francis Dulooga says:

    Here’s some food for thought. Stop using social sites altogether. This includes any dating sites and social networking sites such as twitter or facebook. They are all incredible time wasters. You need to take back your life and get outside and meet people the old fashioned way. Facebook in particular has become an obsession for many people, not in a healthy way. Guess what, staying online is not social, it’s anti-social. Don’t waste anymore of your precious time.
