      I believe I am being scammed by people who claim they work for Temu. There a supposed job with a set of 90 tasks that need to be completed and commissions are received after the tasks are completed. But also you are required to deposit money in order to fill these orders or tasks. I am supposed to be paid in crypto. I would like to know if this is a legit thing that Temu is doing or not.They are operating under Temu ****************, I have attached a supposed license that they sent me to show authenticity. However I dont believe this is legit and I need this to be confirmed. They are stating that they are en fact Temu but something doesnt seem right since Ive been dealing with them since November of 2024 and I have not been able to get any of my earnings since Ive been dealing with them. I need answers **** because Im ready to file a laws suit for fraud.

      Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the ongoing chargeback issue. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused.

      Based on our current investigation, the chargeback status for the transaction in question remains unresolved. Chargebacks often involve multiple payment channels, which can sometimes lead to delays in information updates. We recommend that you wait for a short period to allow for any potential updates to be reflected. Our customer service department will offer you an explanation on March 12. Please keep an eye on your inbox.

      On 11/13/24 I cancelled a purchase of 2 items for a total of $45.65. After cancelling I requested a refund. Temu responded and said the refund has been issued but I never received the money. I've been in contact with temu for months trying to get my money back and they will not give me my money. I provided proof that I never received my refund and they still will not give me my money back

      I purchased a Farmhouse desk from Temu on 1/29. On 2/5, I received the desk. On 2/14, when I opened the box, I found 3 parts damaged. On 2/14, I contacted Temu via the online chat service. I sent pictures and was told I would hear back within 24 hours. When I did not hear back within the 24 hour period, I called customer service via phone. I was offered a $4.00 coupon if I purchased more product. I explained I just wanted the 3 damaged parts reshipped. I again was told I would hear back within 24 hours. I did not hear back, so I called again. At some point I was offered a $50.00 coupon if I purchased $300.00 more product, and via email I was offered a $29.33 partial refund without reshipment of the damaged parts. I explained that the desk is completely unusable since 2 of the damaged parts constitute 2 of the 4 sides of the desk and a partial refund would do me no good. Temu stated they were trying to get in touch with the vendor, but the vendor was not contacting them back. I either needed to send the desk back or accept their partial refund offers. The desk is too big and heavy for me, a 60 year old arthritic woman awaiting a possible knee replacement surgery, to transport myself. I asked for the damaged parts to be reshipped from their local US based warehouse. I was then informed that the vendor had 7 days to review my request. Temu says their records show I first contacted them on the 16th instead of the actual contact date of the 14th. Temu still has the desk listed as a product they sell; therefore, they have access to the parts I need. Today, I received an email from Temu stating they will not ship the 3 damaged parts and then offered a $19.56 partial refund if I kept this unusable desk or a full refund of $97.71 if I returned the desk. I simply can not lift up the desk by myself and they know this. They are taking advantage of my inability to return the desk, instead of reshipping the damaged parts--which would be a lesser shipping charge for them.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and grudgingly accepted the offer to settle our differences in reference to complaint #********. I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed. I do not feel, however, the matter is resolved. The mere fact that I had to seek this avenue to receive a semblance of satisfaction shows that this company often performs below an acceptable level of expected customer service.

      Today on February 23, 2025 I placed an order for 77$ on TEMU. I placed this order because it was advertised that I would be getting 140% +36$ back on my order in store credits. I only got 50$ and then I reached out to TEMU support who said they cannot help me and offered me 10$ in credits. I told them that the credits should equal to 143$ not the 50$ in credits that I was offered. The lady helping me said that there is a 30$ limit on the credit back which is not true because my page did not show a limit and then gave me 50$ in credit. On top of this I have had countless offers on TEMU offering 300$ rewards with a purchase of 20-50$. When going through the process it changes to 300$ in coupon rewards, it is used as a trick to get you to start buying things and a lie. This company frequently lies and tries to manipulate their customers into spending money. The amount of times I have been promised money if I just place one order and then when I click on the offer it is coupons that have a high spend threshold. It is not acceptable for this to go on in the way that it does and something has to be done about it. Every time I go to TEMU for help the solution they offer is never good and does not make up for the loss. Temu says that they are trying to provide affordable, high-quality products to consumers but in reality they are trying to get them to spend money with false promises. Once someone is in the door of the promotion it is extremely frustrating to see the promise change. I want my 143$ and I want my 300$ that I was promised. Im tired of companies being allowed to make false claims and advertise lies.

      I ordered a couch through Temu and I selected 'delivery' because I'm disabled and that was the only way that I would be able to get it to my house. It was $293.21. They delivered it directly to my door on January 16th, 2025 and my son brought it into the house for me, very carefully, without dropping it. As soon as we opened the box, we noticed that the couch was broken badly upon delivery. One of the main components was broke off of it and the couch was not stable because of it and the pull-out bed didn't work very well either.I tried to return it through Temu's automated system and whenever I tried to download the return label, it said it could not be generated, so I contacted Temu through the customer chat.While in the customer service chat, all 3 of the **********************'s customer service employees would respond with a huge response in seconds, absolutely not enough time to read what I texted. The whole customer service team were disregarding everything I said and were trying to trick me into canceling my return, telling me to "cancel it that way they can fix it", then as soon as I would cancel my refund request they would say "they can't fix it unless I deliver it to them at a **** or *** store". During the customer chat, I told ********************** about the condition of the couch and tried to get my refund. I have been in contact with Temu, trying to get my refund, for 3 weeks at least. They said there was no way that a truck could get to my house to pick up the couch, which was an obvious fallacy because they delivered it directly to my door to begin with. I am disabled and the only way that I can return it is to have them pick it up and I very clearly expressed that and all the details of the couches condition upon delivery to them through the customer service chat.They said they would forward it to higher department and I still haven't heard anything back from anyone.I have a low fixed income and I need the refund for the couch so I can get one that isn't broken.

      Temu has fraudulent and intentionally deceptive business practices that caused me to unwillingly spend far over $100 in order to claim 3 allegedly free prizes in the Fishland event. This event was suddenly discontinued for me, for the alleged reason that the time had expired, while never giving a warning or notice that this was a timed event besides a TINY countdown screen that I could not see due to visual impairment. This is an intentionally deceptive business practice, as it tricks you into spending money and tells you you are very close to achieving an award, only to shut it down as soon as you actually get close to that award without warning. Also, nearly every single item that I have ordered on Temu is of extremely poor quality and either came defective or took only a week or two to become defective. When I tried to bring up the issue with customer support, I was only met with chatbots and copy-pasted responses that did not address any of my problems. Not only have I wasted my money, but I have wasted valuable time trying to fight tooth and nail with these chat bots in order to get even the slightest bit of compensation for my hard work, to no avail. I do not expect Temu to resolve this issue, as nearly every one of their free item events has some form for deceit/fraudulence in order to coerce you to spend money for a reward they have no intention of giving you, but I want to make every other customer aware of the Fishland SCAM so they do not waste their hours on it.

      We've just moved to our new home so in the past 5 weeks I've spent $3,618.26 with Temu on home furnishings. On February 11 2025, I placed an order totaling $51.78 which included an expandable shower rod for $25.63. PO-211-*****************. I received the shower rod via **** on February 18th. The box arrived badly battered, torn and with both ends of the box open because the tape used to secure the ends of the box had not held up during transit. There was only 1 component of the shower rod in the box. I immediately contacted Temu customer service. I took pictures and submitted them and answered Temu's questions about it - mind you this was all within 15 minutes of the package's delivery. Up to now, I considered myself a valued customer of **********************'s with very few returns/issues/problems. **************** said they initiated a refund for me without having to return the 1 component, via a "ticket" which would take up to 24 hours to be approved by a "higher up: department" - a new step in their process for returns. Because the shower rod is a top selling item and marked on Temu's site as at high risk for selling out, I didn't want to wait while my refund was processing to re-purchase the same item from the same seller, so I went ahead and placed an order myself for the replacement shower rod on this same day, February 18th 2025. That order number is PO-211-*****************. Since then I have been messaging with The **************** (apparently that's the name of the "higher up department"), submitting the same pictures and more, answering more questions and just going around and around with them on this refund for $25.63 until this morning when I received a message essentially calling me a liar and denying the refund which I find shockingly offensive given my order history with them. They also made statements in that message which are untrue. Why would I immediately contact Temu upon receiving the order unless there was an issue? Shameful behavior from this company.
