CBS 2 Investigator Dorthy Tucker on Temu warning

If you use the app Temu, here's a warning. The BBB issued an alert about the online company offering cheap deals. CBS 2 Investigator Dorthy Tucker says the app Temu, owned by a Chinese company, may lead to privacy issues. Watch to learn more, so you do not expose your private information.

Are they saying that amazon doesn't do that? Because we all know it does, and Alexa hears everything.

[tonihogan]

She just described every single app with regard to information collected.

How dare Temu not inflate their prices and rip us off like all the other retailers!

[Handprints]

I have bought over 90 items from TEMU. I have had not one single bad experience and I do believe that the big stores are freaking out and they're doing their best to turn off people towards Temu. I have nothing but good to say about them and all of our American stores who are ripping us off because I have ordered stuff from temu for 1/3 of the price of what I can buy it in any store here and online at any of our suppliers and they talk about they have our privacy anybody on the internet has your privacy anybody knows how to use a computer as your privacy they're just freaked out because there is a large company that can sell every single product that is available and a much cheaper price and American and foreign investors are freaking out.

She just described every single online Marketplace in the entire world

Please, our privacy? When did we ever have privacy with internet companies?

[kevincromer]

She actually avoided the question - he asked her how many were scammed or had identity theft from Temu and she talked about national averages - never offered Temu data

[jamieperez]

I have ordered tons of stuff from temu and I have never had a problem with any of the products or shipping

[emanilove]

Y’all worried about Temu? Walmart sells their customers information online to trackers as soon as you click on the website even after opting out of this option. That should be a crime, and nobody’s aware of it either. My phone had to report the incident to me.

[Ragin.Official]

What they fail to mention is EVERY app or website you go to has access to all of that same info

[sharonpoole]

I've been ordering from TEMU since it first came on the scene. so far I haven't experienced any issues. I actually really like most of the products I've purchased from this site.

[charlacollingwood]

I have been using this company for over a year and I get exactly what I paid for in a timely manner. You get what you pay for, we know we're not getting luxury items, otherwise I'd be a luxury price. I don't know who these people are that are having problems and have to report things to the better Business bureau, but my neighbors and myself have not had any problems with this company.

[mattismimi]

I’ve ordered from TEMU several times and got everything I ordered and been satisfied. I had one time the item I ordered was not in stock when they went to ship it and they gave me a refund right then. No issues no problems. Identify theft can happen on any app as far as I’m concerned.

[danny_perez]

“50 million customers, 900 complaints.”

Uh…. that’s actually really good. 😂

[dreamyx]

I use Temu often I don’t use the app on my phone and I don’t use social media so I’m not concerned with them collecting information that I don’t post anyway. The govt already knows everything about everyone anyway. If it saves me money I’m going to continue to use it.

[MikstyOnYt]

Doesnt any shopping website or app do that too?

[kimmariec]

She just described our very own government 🤨

[TomTom-iolc]

She forgot to include Facebook and the US government,

[gwill]

I've compared prices, Amazon vs. Temu. The EXACT SAME PURSE in my Amazon cart for $50 I found on Temu for $15. Temu seems to be the wholesaler some of these Amazon shops, little boutiques, etc. buy from. American Hospitals, Banks, stores allow our information to be comprimised daily and offer free credit monitoring as a bandaid afterwards, so is the issue really that China offers us a way to beat inflation just a little by cutting out the middle man..and isn't most of what we buy, wherever we get it from, labled "made in China" anyway 🙄

[CarylRandolph]

Do the math people. 900 complaints yet 50mil customers. In addition, what company is exempt from privacy issues???
