      I placed an order on Temu.com and it was supposed to be shipped to my house. The order was split. The first part of the order I received about a week or so ago. I never have received the rest of my order. Today I received a text telling my order is ready for pick up in ****** ****. I immediately got on Temu to ask what the heck was going on because I ordered it to be shipped to my house. Athens is a long way away from where I live and I have health issues. I can not drive that far to get a package which is why I order online instead of going to the store and shopping. I asked them to call the post office and they would not do it. All I want is for the items I ordered to be rerouted to my home. Since they made the error they need to fix it. I was a bit rude to them in chat but I am upset. I highlighted the address on the attached file it was suppose to be shipped to and the area where it shows it needs to be picked up in Athens. I told them I am to far from Athens and if they would have sent it to my post office in ********** I would not have complained. At any rate I ordered ship to home not ship to post office.

      I placed an order with Temu, but I later realized that some of the sizes were wrong and cancelled that order. I later resubmitted the order, but paid using Klarna. Although I paid using Klarna, **** withdraw the total price for my purchase. I have contacted the company and they have agreed to return my money, but I have not received it yet. I am requesting a refund of $78.87.

      I have never ever made any purchases from this website and didn't even know they existed till today 11/10/22. There is 3 purchases that were made without my knowledge. The first one is $20.89, $29.83, and another $29.83. I do not have any accounts with this site. I don't even have a email confirmation with the order number or tracking number. I do not trust this site at all, not even the costumer service. I will be getting my bank involved and if things escalate then the law enforcement involved as well too.

      On Nov 09 my companion ***** sent me a referral link for Temu which stated in it that I signed up I could get a free gift with free shipping. I inputted all my information into the Temu app in order to get the gift of my choice, which was a cordless vacuum, and after I even inputted my shipping information, the Temu app then suddenly demanded that I perform *************************************** to obtain the cordless vacuum. Therefore the Temu app has obtained my information in a deal where they are not holding up their end of the deal. Temu must ship, without a charge, this vacuum to the address I uploaded into the app.Partially censored, the phone number I inputted into Temu is 718___2271. I believe this is also a login ID.

      I'm assigned to this case, and I'm here to assist you with investigating and resolving what happened to your account. Our records have identified five transactions of $117.90 each and one transaction of $130.84 on November 7, ************************************************ your comment. On the same bank account, we don't have the record of 6 transactions of $20 each.

      According to our records, for each of these transactions, we have received affirmative confirmation from the card issuing bank that the payment has passed the bank's 3-D secure verification, which means the card issuing bank has successfully verified the identity of the payor for each of these ten transactions.

      I would strongly suggest that you contact your bank immediately and report the incident to the police. At your request, I would do everything within my power to provide whatever cooperation and assistance required to help you, your bank and/or the police to get to the bottom of this. I'm very sorry for what happened to you. But please understand that we are also the victim, not the perpetrator. If you need anything or have any questions, I'm here to help.

      Of course with all the screen shots from others in the same predicament as myself you seem to have the same thing to say over and over again. I have made a complaint not only to the BBB, Office of the Attorney General, my banking institute...I will be making a police report also. Your phone number and address and response gives no legit reason to what has happened in my life in overdraft and charges over $1000.00 dollars. Provide me with my registration to your website TEMU.COM along with my order of 6 transactions so I can see what I have supposedly ordered in the amounts of 5 transactions at $117.90 and 1 transaction of $130.84 all within a 6 hour time frame in the middle of the night. Surely if you state I have ordered from this company then where is my product/what did I order or do you take my money and give nothing in return?

      Hi ******,

      I've been following up your case and here's a report on what I've been able to find so far. We are able to identify six transactions during the timeframe between midnight and 7am on November 5th, 2022 that match the amounts in your reivew. Our record shows that all six transactions passed the 3DS security certification conducted by the card issue bank, who is responsible for the identity verifications of the payers. 

      After verifying the records, I suggested that you file a report to your card issue bank for refund and call the police for identity theft immediately. 

      I also took the liberty of contacting the card issue bank at ***************************** on November 7 and alerted the bank about the potential card fraud case. I have not received any response from them so far.

      I'm sorry for what happened to you. But please understand that my team is doing everything within our power to help you resolve the case as quickly as possible, subject to applicable privacy policies and laws. I suggest that you contact your bank and urge them to promptly process the refund of your money.

      I finallly received funds back into my bank account thats to my bank institute as a courtesy while ****************** continues to investigate how this situation happened in the first place. 6 transactions went thru my bank before fraud was indicated due to the immediate transaction of one after another in such a short time frame. Temu has not provided any explaination as in my account registration to use their website. No invoice, no product, no account.
