4. I made my first purchase from Temu

Couple of days ago - a fishing vest, Au $35.20 but I paid with Paypal. Sent a tracking number fairly quickly but for two days the package had not entered Australia Posts system. The money is not a huge deal, but I found the website amateurish and barely working. I had never heard of Temu till then.

Fortunately I didn't download the app although they have my email and mobile no. I've just checked Aust. Post and tracking shows the package is now in their system, so we'll see what happens. They are offering some kind of cash-back or discount if delivery is later than 4 September. This could be part of the scam - get you to provide your bank details for refund.

There are lots of horror stories about Temu if you search. I certainly wont purchase from them again.
