A warning from cyber security experts about the TEMU app

[@foreverealm]

“If it is free, then YOU are probably the product.”

[@Romiko_Gamemode]

A citation that we shouldn't forget.

[@ShakTMT]

Sometimes theres nothing wrong with that

[@gamegeekx]

I knew this from day 1. Thanks for educating most of the people that dont know this. When a product is 80 to 90% cheap, there's always a catch. The only time I don't see it as a catch is if it's a church or a volunteering service giving for free to the homeless or extremely cheap to people who are struggling financially. And the bonus is, they use the funding for more charity or honest church related funding or activities.

[@alexisnicolson6092]

More than the selling data, Temu has been linked to malware being installed on users devices

[@headerahelix]

Howso? Installing apps from items sold on Temu? Cause that's just gong against common sense

[@alexisnicolson6092]

The app itself.

[@headerahelix]

@@alexisnicolson6092 Snopes says it's not true. It was Pindoudou, a Chinese app only on Chinese app stores that was effected. Pindoudou does own Temu but they're not the same app and weren't developed by the same people. Kinda like Google the app/website doesn't have much to do with KZbin the app/website other than being owned by the same parent company.

[@titasbag1178]

Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@eds7343]

I knew it was something to avoid when A: it says Shop like a billionaire. Billionaires dont buy cheap garbage. And B: its a Chinese company. Chinese companies are notorious for being pervasive.

[@daniellekreviazuk]

👏👏👏. MY. EXACT. WORDS. EARLIER.: BILLIONAIRES DONT NEED CHEAP CRAP !!!! 😁🤭

[@KosmikGawdess]

Look at the pot calling the kettle black😂😂😂 pervasive ehh?

[@lulabee384]

I encourage you to look at the other information on this subject. There are more recent articles on this subject with some disturbing findings.

[@CaptainCapital8]

Like Tiktok, Temu is extreme danger to our society

[@_Ninth_]

Tiktok steals basic information and sells it which is fairly normal. Temu on the other hand sells your BANK INFO.

[@anonymous22200]

Tiktok banned in china too.

[@IamKelly-anne]

I have a question, how does it work if you simply use the website, dos it have the same access?

[@elle45789]

Android users. uninstalling is not completely uninstalling. It is said you must do a hard reset to completely get rid of it. Your carrier can help you save stuff to a cloud, pics etc.

[@AJRoblox11]

My friend got hacked becaause of temu even though he deleted it.

[@CherylKendrix]

I just uninstalled the Temu app thank you for the information

[@MsButterflyJan1976]

I hope you deleted you card info off their and deactivated your account first

[@chloejohnstone2655]

thanks for this, ive been tempted to buy stuff on it because its cheap but now i realise its not safe

[@ARMAGEDDONHASBEGUN]

or receiving super cheap tech gadgets with a USB connection and plugging it into your personal computer and infecting your computer with malware

[@NinjaRunningWild]

Deleting it won’t fix it. It’s able to recompile itself without the user knowing. It has _unrestricted_ access to the phone. Even a factory reset might not get rid of it completely.

[@fgm1197]

Temu is a prime example of China's desire for economic and therefore military world domination and its imperialist megalomania.

[@kingpest13]

They are scrambling to stop their own collapse.

[@reneebedard5932]

I looked on the temu app and it said, No access required for anything.

[@George12.722]

Why usa not stopped this app from Google? Why you see this app on FB ( FB not care) all about the $$

[@GettingGoshen]

The Quality of the products are good. Many people have shown the items they purchase but I was concerned about the data collection.

[@papastummyfuzz9281]

There is no way the quality is good. You must be accustomed to poor quality…

[@TruthTellerTV]

@@papastummyfuzz9281 It obviously depends on what you're buying. Something you would expect to normally be expensive is not going to be a very high quality, but there are plenty of inexpensive items that are sometimes much cheaper than local which are good quality. Items for the kitchen, bathroom, pets, and even your car, etc.)

[@amberhawksong]

Great tips!

[@suekrebs8387]

Happened to me for about $1,000

[@ArtEra-os1nw]

[@recoveringsoul755]

Nobody should do business with Temu at all. They have ulterior motives that hurt customers and sellers and real businesses. I know the prices are tempting, but at what cost?

[@DavidaGodbold]

Have anyone really got their info stolen or they just dont want you buying cheap items from there Since everything is high in america..
