Badoo has become one of the most important social networks to flirt in our country. Due to the number of users it has in Spain, it is common to come across profiles that appear to be real but are actually false. The objective? Nobody knows, but it is most likely related to economic gain (sexual services, phishing…) or the collection of personal data. Either that or we are facing a profile that has only happened to gossip about other profiles. For this reason we have compiled some tricks to identify and verify a fake Badoo profile
This is how Badoo ended unwanted sexting in his chats
Avoid unverified Badoo profiles
That's how it is. The first clue that can make the alarms go off has to do with Badoo verification. This verification process tries to reduce the number of fake profiles on Badoo by forcing users to upload a face photo for the company's own employees to verify the authenticity of the imagesIf the profile lacks verification, it is most likely that we are dealing with a person who is not who they say they are.
To verify that a profile complies with the verification we can go to the profile of the personnel in question, specifically at the bottom of the interface , as can be seen in the image above.
And of the profiles that are too suggestive and/or direct
To attract the attention of the unsuspecting, most of the fake profiles have a description in the biography with allusions to sexual practices or with words that are far from being subtle. The objective is most likely to offer sexual services in exchange for money or exchange provocative photos to carry out sextortion , practices that have already been spread by numerous security forces.

Photos can help you identify a fake profile on Badoo
To give credibility to the false profiles, the photographs that are shared through the social network are usually stolen from other profiles or extracted from pages with image banks. Other profiles, on the other hand, choose to post full-body photos without faces, precisely to attract even more attention from users.
What is recommended in this case is to apply logic or resort to Google's reverse search, thanks to which we can perform image searches with an image that we have previously downloaded .
Moderate profile? Be very careful
I have already spoken to you several times about Badoo's moderated profiles. This measure carried out by Badoo tries to counteract unauthorized practices within the application, such as the use of false images, harassment of other users or simply a breach of any of the terms and conditions of use listed on the relevant Badoo page.
Any of these reasons can give us some clue that we are dealing with a false profile. Typically, the 'Moderate' tag will either replace the profile name or accompany the accompanying description in the bio.
The language used can be a good sneak to detect fake profiles
As in other dating applications, the use of overly mechanical language can help us identify fake profiles. When we talk about attempted scams or practices related to sextortion, thieves usually use automated translators to respond to our messages
Depending on the area where we are, they may even excuse themselves that they come from a foreign country, something especially common in cities globalized, such as Madrid or Barcelona.
