Hot or Not (badoo) is a scam

This app started me on a thesis statement about online dating regulations; for these apps theres none.

But what ive researched is out of 1000 matches, 80% were from russian, south american, asia. They lived in those perspective countries but with some advanced in house VPN they set their location to anywhere in the world. Most of the people lived around the world but did advanced methods to change their location to my
City in north america.

I then looked into time patterns; and those same people would be on during select hours specifically like a job. I then concluded these same people had multiple accounts they rotated to by using writing patterns and similar context. Some even made the mistake of saying hot or not was badoo; and this is what made it all come together!

Badoo is some russian scam app used identically as hot or not; the same people who are fakes on hot or not are the same on there!

Basically; these people are either paid, scammers (doubtful since in many cases you need to pay to talk to them). I strongly believe the entier app and system is completely a scam. 1/40 people you meet actually live in your area.

Do not pay for anything on this!
