Chinese spyware luring people in with cheap shite. I don't understand why people keep making it so easy for others to take their privacy. At least make them work for it


WTF are you really losing here?

Name?
dOB?
Address?
Email?

All that shite is public and they already know it.

Credit card?

Mine can accurately detect a fraudulent charge and decline it and let me know and issue me a new card. I dont have to do a thing.

So again, what are you losing here?

You think your own gov't isn't doing the same things from all the purchases you make in the US?

I got a couple of silicone 8 lb ice cube molds from Temu. $5 and they're great. By the time they delivered I'd forgotten I'd ordered them so it was a nice surprise.

If it makes you feel better about using Temu after what was said here, I've had more issues recently with data breaches at my bank than with Temu. They all harvest your data, period.

Temu is now building/acquiring US warehouses that will shorten delivery times. People hate Temu and will say it is cheap chinese shite (it is) and that they are a communist front. The thing is, the communists are doing better at capitalism than the capitalists. They'll sell you the same cheap chinese shite that other place sell you for a fraction of the cost. Some people really don't like that reality.

I’ll say this, their legos are on point. My oldest got a giant Star Wars ship, retail like $200 for $40. Put against the real thing it’s the same. The box did say Space Wars on it though.

I’ve purchased a couple dozen things from fishing bait, sunglasses, tools and other crap and I think it is well worth the cheap price.

You'd make a wonderful purchasing agent for a nuclear plant.



Hope you're doing better old boy!

My wife bought a bunch of clothes for herself and my son from Temu and it seems to be the same quality as Shein, but cheaper. It's perfect for my son because it's super cheap and, even if it's cheaply made, he'll outgrow it before it falls apart. Also perfect for my wife who wears something once and then it goes into the black hole that is her closet.

You may get what you ordered
You may not
If you do get what you ordered it will simply be a Chinese knock off version

So define scam.

Should you use it, no.

Yes, if you’re buying landfill fodder.
