Temp is Chicom crap.

They ship for free because of some globalist rule about developing nations.

Slave labor and free shipping make cheap junk cheap.

We use Temu. My Chinese wife like it.

Often it is EXACTLY the same stuff on Amazon or Walmart.com but for far less money.

If I have to buy stuff from China I’ll cut out the middleman

Never understood the fascination with “apps”. Hmmm, let me download a program from random people onto my personal phone. Sounds like a great idea /s

My first, and only order was delivered quickly, and everything as advertised. Still skeptical.

The discount shopping site gathers a broad array of data, including personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, and social media profiles, as well as technical data such as operating systems, IP addresses, and GPS locations (if allowed).

Alarmingly, Temu’s data collection doesn’t end there. The app also amasses information from third-party sources, including sellers on its platform, public records, social media, data brokers, credit bureaus, and marketing partners, adding more layers to its data mining activities.

Recently, Temu was accused by the U.S. of potential data risks after its sister site, e-commerce platform Pinduoduo, was suspended by Google for containing malware.

Cybersecurity researchers found it wasn’t just tracking device info and activity – malicious code allowed it to bypass cellphone security settings to spy on other apps, read notifications and messages, and even change settings.

Temu gains full access to all your contacts, calendars, and photo albums, plus all your social media accounts, chats, and texts. In other words, literally everything on your phone.

Thank you! I’ve thought about going to their site. I certainly won’t, now!

When things cost less than they should, what they are selling you isn’t their product. You are their product for someone else.

Gotta love and admire Kim Komando. She’s been a student of the world of computers since they first became available for public consumption. She was in college at the time she first got into it.

She has a TV face with a radio voice.

My goodness! I figured Temu was some type of personal info gathering site masquerading as an inexpensive shopping source. Their ads pop up on web pages non-stop and all the descriptions are written in Chinese. Some of the items I can’t identify and since I can’t read the description, I have no idea what they are actually selling. I’m wondering, “Why does someone think I need that?”

I would never order from that company and just assumed others thought much the same.

I bought lots of Christmas gifts from them and was satisfied with the merchandise I received.

If I’m not mistaken, an app isn’t required to order from Temu. One can order via a PC instead of on a cellphone. For example - Amazon sells Temu products.
