Yesterday i was informed by my boyfriend that i was on a dating site called baddoo. To say i am livid is an understatement as i have never given any information to this site and obviously this has caused my boyfriend to break up with me and i cant even begin to think of the defamatin and how this could affect my job seen as i am a senior account executive.
I have tried to find somewhere to complain but there site says that i have to register to complain which is ridiculous as i certainly dont want them gettin hold of any further personal details. They list my name, age and town and considering my name its not difficult to work out its me!!! im furious and want to know how i can find out how they got my details and how to get them removed!!!

Here is a very dirty way Badoo conducts business. Under the disguise of answering questions about your friends, the Badoo Facebook application takes advantage of access to your personal information and creates a public dating profile without your knowledge. To make it look as if it was a genuine account they even make choices for you by specifying various criteria that you are looking for in a date. So, you end up receiving dating requests from all sort of freaks although you are not looking for any dates, whatsoever.

Okay, so far so good, you can ignore those and treat them like spam in your inbox. But, what do you explain to your friends when they search for your name in Google and they see that according to this profile, you are open for dating, but at the same time have a successful marriage with 3 children? What about the husband himself? Well, it gets even dirtier than this.

Next, try to clean your public image and delete the profile: surprise, it doesn't work since you are not the one who created it in the first place, it was the Facebook application that created it and their system is configured in such a way that only those who personally created a profile are allowed to delete it. Since you never personally created the dating account you are out of luck.

Next logical thing is to file a complaint with their support department to have the account deleted at their end. Do they respond? Nope.

And here is how they artificially boost their membership base to trick their potential legitimate users that they become members into a large dating site.

I think this application should be banned from Facebook as it uses way too dirty methods taking advantage of the access that they get to Facebook users personal data.

I am on the Badoo site and now can not open any messages unless i give over my credit card details. i do not have a credit card. I am receiving messages and people are thinking i am ignoring them but i’m not. I just cannot open the messages to read or reply. Is this not right?

Hi signed up for Badoo a while back and have recently found the time to get nore involved with it...accept I have now forgotten my password and have several times been through all the correct procedure of retrieving it and when I check my mail the password does not arrive(yes I also checked Junkmail). I have sent at lease 8 separate message to the so called help facility asking for assistance with this and I still have not had an answer from this company. I would expect that with the growing competition of these social network services the level of service would be a little more acceptable. I cannot just open another account either as I have some valuable contact info on that particular profile as well as the fact that I do not wish to use another e-mail address except my own.
