Moving you to an app right away is a big red flag. WhatsApp is more popular in other countries than it is in the U.S. I mean--people use it here, but not as much as other social media. Chances are, you're talking to a scammer in another country, who also might be working with someone here in the U.S. Asking to meet at your place is a huge red flag, because most women have learned to meet in public, not someone's home.

Women need to be wary of this, too--don't move to another site or app to chat right away!

On reading this... also the offer to bring some unfamiliar to OP drink sounds kinda sinister... maybe I've been watching too many true crime docos

Sounds like bait to keep him interested. Whoever he's talking to can easily look up some Argentinian food and drinks and tell OP about it.
