“With the rising popularity of our products and services, we've noticed the emergence of apps and websites impersonating our brand to cheat our customers,” said a Temu spokesperson. “We have taken legal action against these fraudulent entities. However, the judicial process and expected delays in addressing the issue with the hosting platforms and cloud services mean the resolution may not be immediate. Therefore, we urge consumers to support our efforts by reporting any such fraudulent activities they encounter.”
To address reports about fraudulent Temu websites, suspicious text messages or phone calls, consumers are encouraged to file a report with Temu at https://www.temu.com/bgch_report_suspicious.html. Additionally, consumers can file their complaints to the relevant authorities including the National Cyber Security Center (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/about-this-website/report-scam-website) and Action Fraud (https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/).
Common Scams To Beware:
Here are some of the common characteristics and techniques used by scam sites and apps:
- Individuals report being contacted by someone claiming to be a courier, who then demands additional shipping fees.
- There are cases where a seller, allegedly representing Temu, solicits payments through alternative methods, such as QR codes, e-wallets, or wire transfers.
- Consumers have been deceived into making purchases and payments on websites or apps that closely mimic Temu, often accompanied by false notifications of winning a prize.
- Unsolicited messages from unrecognized numbers have offered financial services or part-time jobs, requiring the recipient to provide personal details.
- Reports include receiving calls from unknown numbers that either request personal information verification or offer unsolicited refunds.
