Don’t shop on Temu!!

I just ordered some boots and tennis shoes on the app Temu last week. A few days later I went into my accounts settings and noticed that there was a different email in my profile than my own. So I put mine in and got an email asking me to verify the change of address. I was alarmed since my credit card information was on it and I contacted customer service and told them that I thought my account had been hacked. The girl acted completely clueless and after really giving me the runaround, I closed the chat out and removed my credit card info.
So a few minutes ago I was at a dollar store and got a text from my credit card company asking if I had tried to purchase $187 worth of flowers from some company that I looked up and it was a scam. So I said NO and now I have to wait a week to get a new card since they canceled my credit card.
I’m pissed because it’s a reward card and I accumulate a lot of cash rewards for it and now all I can use is my debit card.
So yeah- don’t use Temu!

Yep.. My mom said a long time ago those girls she talks to on facebook where saying their bank accounts where getting hacked cause of that Temu.. Me personally if im gonna order somethin online i ALWAYS use amazon or walmart.com and the occasional WWE shop (im a wrestling fan) but those are the ONLY sites i trust with my card numbers..

@BrandonWyatt36 yeah, I’m a huge Amazon shopper. Love my rewards card. I hate that I have to wait until the new one comes in because I use it for everything.

@BrandonWyatt36 it makes it so easy with the wish lists you can create 😂

I saw this from the start. The pricing was hilariously too low, but they have all of your info.
Everybody wants that good deal but there’s always a price to pay.

I'm getting lots of adverts for this site on my social media. They all looked cheap and nasty so I won't ever use it.
Mardrae · 61-69, F
@Entwistle I will see what my shoes and boots look like. If they even come in. I am still deleting my account though. Such a hassle having to wait for a new credit card to come in!

Thanks for the info ..,

I have read warnings about Temu for a few months now. They sell some things at a ridiculously low price and are very aggressive with how much they advertise online.

I remember an article about cybersecurity issues on that site.
Mardrae · 61-69, F
@Longpatrol it amazed me at how clueless the customer service girl that I contacted was. I immediately took my card off the site and will delete my account as soon as I get my orders. If I get them. 🙄
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
@Mardrae I read up more after seeing your post, it's a Chinese site

Chinese+ bad cybersecurity = bad juju
Mardrae · 61-69, F
@Longpatrol I agree!

Similar situation happened to me on ebay
Mardrae · 61-69, F
@DarkSideoftheMoon oh no…I don’t order a lot on eBay, but I do every once in awhile. I thought they were pretty safe
people on this website will probably blame this on Joe Biden or communism somehow

Geez....thanks for the heads up.

It looks cheap tbh and poorly run but yeh im getting a lot of these ads
Theres so many scams atm
Theres also those gaming ones encouraging people to use mistplay to earn money off vouchers. Another scam
I was getting inundated by temu ads. I went and had a look ....but there's that saying , if something looks too good to be true ....it usually is.
And I read something else about temu, I can't remember what it was exactly , but it was something about what they do with their excess or reject stock or something . They go via illegal or rather 'circumvent' legal channels, and dump their crap in some other poor country . Basically dumping their crap in someone else's backyard and avoiding costs to do so.🤷

But thanks for posting ....scamming is getting rife these days .

@OogieBoogie I love being in front of the fire and during the Winter months, every night.

I enjoyed interacting with you last night, as I always do. You are everything that I said you are, and I meant every word. What's really amazing to me, is how we can read and understand each other. You are very sweet and kind to me and I really appreciate you, too. I really wish for you, a very lovely Friday and weekend. You are a very fine lady and mother. You are my friend, too.

🤗🤗🤗❤️💐
@Oster1 I think you have a selective memory ...I haven't always been kind . I went off at you once.
To be honest ....you're niceness freaks me out a little .
I understand now that it's part of your nature - Ive grown a little , and others stood up for you I'm my DM's - so I copped a bit of a telling off😂

...but to those of who have been damaged, it reminds us of love bombing.
Not meaning to be mean or discredit your kindness and optimism...it's just we have bad memories from lovely words .

It's a shame really, that others have made something good into something bad that ruins it for everybody else .

I'm glad you had fun 🤗
Oster1 · M
@OogieBoogie I only see the goodness and talents in people. I do understand, what you have suffered through. Your words, unfortunately, are very true. Just know, I knew what you meant.

Btw, thank you! I have it burning on my desk, and yeah, it reminds me of you! 🤗❤️

That's what you get when you shop at a sweat shop

I think they're a scam with those low prices
StygianKohlrabi · 46-50, M
@Mardrae well I'm not expecting the highest quality but it's probably about the same as most Amazon junk 😂 but then you have to wait for ages for them to ship from China I doubt you can make returns. so it's risky and you get what you pay for but they have some unique stuff and discounts 🤑
Mardrae · 61-69, F
@StygianKohlrabi I will check it out sometime. I see lots of ads for them
StygianKohlrabi · 46-50, M
@Mardrae OK let us know if you actually get anything

Your not the only one people had a big post about it on facebook saying it's a cHina company and you get cheap stuff or none at all and they steal your info
Mardrae · 61-69, F
@Lilnonames I am just so glad I spent less than $20 then, and deleted my card off the site and now it’s cancelled.
