Take your time.

BOTH is still in development

This website does not create profiles, introduce people or provide member messaging. There are no verified BOTH members, live account checks or member-reporting tools on this website. The example writing is illustrative.

We are not accepting payments or waitlist registrations here. A request to pay for access or send identity documents is not part of this website’s current service.

When meeting people online

• Be cautious with requests for money, gifts, cryptocurrency, investments or help moving funds. Do not send money to an online romantic contact you have not met.
• Keep account passwords, one-time security codes, financial details and identity documents private.
• Take time to get to know someone. Repeated emergencies, pressure to keep a relationship secret or persistent excuses for avoiding a meeting can be warning signs.
• Talk to someone you trust if a situation feels uncomfortable. You can end a conversation or decline a request without having to justify it.

For independent guidance, see the US Federal Trade Commission’s romance-scam advice and Police.uk’s romance-fraud guidance. Responsibility for abuse or fraud lies with the person causing it.

If something has happened

If someone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services where they are. This website is not an emergency service and has no live safety-response team.

If you have sent money to a suspected scammer, contact your bank or payment provider promptly using a trusted contact method. Report the account to the service on which you met the person and seek help from the relevant local authorities.

In England, Wales or Northern Ireland, see Report Fraud; in Scotland, contact Police Scotland. In the US, see ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Elsewhere, use your local police or consumer-protection authority.

The status of BOTH’s own website contact route is on Legal & contact. That route is still to be set up.
