I matched with a girl on a dating app and then we transitioned to Whatsapp. We've been talking for 3 days and she has been good to talk to. Always responds right away the conversation flows well. Then she asks if I can help her with a "part time job". She sends me a link to a TikTok shop claiming it's her working link and hands me an invitation code. Claiming it can help her earn a good commission every day.

Instantly, my scammer alerts start going off. It's quite common to get scam links on various messenger apps. I tried to do some quick research as I didn't even know that TikTok even had a store but I couldn't really find any info about potential scams like this a short notice. So I tell her politely that I don't click on links like that from people I just met online due to risk of scammers. She was confused at first but didn't push the issue further and apologized. I told her that I ment no offence and I am still interested to keep talking and she said ok. But she has seemingly ghosted me ever since.

AITAH for not wanting to help her due to suspecting a scam? She really might not have tried to scam me, so I can understand how she might get upset from that. But my gut feeling instantly went in defense mode as I am not an expert on these things.
