      I originally enjoyed the all and recommended a lot of people using their free gift for referring a friend feature. The last time I did this people where clicking my link and joining but I was not getting the credit. This was 4 days ago. So I contacted customer service and was told to wait 24 hours for an answer. My gift then expired without me winning it. During continued conversations with customer service over the past 4 days I got no reply except wait 24 hours wait 48 hours on several occasions. Then this morning I was offered a 31$ credit or an order for the free gift. I responded asking for the credit. I never received any credit and have contacted them all day and every response is I will be back with you in a moment reviewing your case and then no response after.

      I clicked on an ad on ******** for this company, saw the website load and decided it was a scam. A day later I get a text from my bank for fraud and there are about 20 transactions from this website on my card that I have no idea how they have access to, given I have never and will never make a purchase from this company. They should be shut down and all ads removed.

      **** is having a credit giveaway game. There has been a leaderboad. I asked if there was a prize and was told yes. Then when they accidently posted something about the top 4 earners it said the tip 4 earners will be over 700,000$ in shopping credits but now when I ask customer support I was told there was no prize and they tried to compensate me with 15$. I would like this pursued to full extent. Because I worked so hard for 6 weeks being the top earner to win the prize. Then I was told it was over 700,000$

      I have 7 withdrawals from Temu.com on my account and have never purchased or received anything from this site. I have never even heard of the site until I saw the charges on my account today. The charges are for ***** (11/23/22), ***** (11/23/22), ***** (11/24/22), ***** (11/26/22), **** (11/27/22), ***** (11/27/22), and ***** (11/28/22) for a total of ******. I need my money back because this is fraudulent activity that was not authorized. My bank has been made aware of the fraudulent charges as well.

      I received a notification that my account was hacked. I have been calling and emailing and I keep getting the same response and no one is helping. I have about $800 dollars that was spent by someone else. That charge put my account into the negative and I have been on the phone with ****** who is not helping me with my fraud. They keep saying someone is going to get in contact with me in 24 to 48 hours and this has happened since Saturday and I am still waiting. The conversations I had this company has been pointless. I need some help with resolving this matter.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
