Temu email spam

47 replies

Gnomegnomegnome · 12/11/2023 20:58

I have never even looked at the temu website, no interest whatsoever but recently I have been getting multiple emails from them a day.
I blocked all of their ads on social media because it’s everyfuckingwhere.
I’m reporting as junk and blocking the sender each time but still they keep coming!

Make it stop!

Me too, it only started this week and is multiples a day.
I went on to desktop Outlook and created a rule that anything containing the word TEMU or TEMU is autodeleted

Good plan

Hohofortherobbers · 15/11/2023 21:44

Great plan, I have done this too. Will see how it goes

MrsCarson · 16/11/2023 18:27

I'm wondering if it's proper scam emails and not Temu themselves.
I've had orders from them in the past, all arrived on time all good stuff. I've never received anything from them except my order acceptance and an email to track the parcel.
Sort of like my Mums friend used to constantly get Amazon emails but had never had an Amazon account or even bought anything from them ever.

Branleuse · 16/11/2023 18:31

i will never ever buy anything from temu. I hate their strategy, No way to stop their adverts on social media. Its constant.

Roselilly36 · 16/11/2023 19:00

Yes me too, I keep blocking, makes no difference.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 16/11/2023 19:02

The TEMU spam actually gets in my inbox.

Pissed off with it.

waytootiredofthis · 16/11/2023 19:06

God. Me too! Started this week and it's so annoying ! And they all seem to be going into my focused emails so I get notified every time. Im blocking every time but it's not making a difference

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 16/11/2023 19:20

NannyGythaOgg · 14/11/2023 12:18

I have bought from Temu. I have used a different spelling of my name and the only communications I have had are concerning my order. No ads at all, so I suspect it is some sort of scam and nothing to do with Temu

In that case it’s in Temu’s own interest to sort it out because everyone’s property pissed off with them.

If they can.

because no fucking way will I ever order anything from them.

Familiaritybreedscontemptso · 16/11/2023 19:32

Yes me too I’ve been getting loads every day this week. They’re not from Temu (all the email addresses are random) but they are super annoying. I’m reporting each one but it’s still coming so far.

scoopoftheday · 16/11/2023 22:24

Me too!

How do you report emails? Mine is a yahoo email address.

I've been unsubscribing but still getting them!

CurlyCabbage · 16/11/2023 22:28

Is it to a hotmail email address?? Ive noticed lots of people complaining that suddenly their hotmail email address is not managing to direct spam straight to the junk folder anymore. A quick google and you will find loads of people complaining of the same since a few months ago.

waytootiredofthis · 16/11/2023 22:31

Mine is hotmail, usually pretty good at filtering out junk!

Neolara · 16/11/2023 22:35

Me too. And yes, mine is Hotmail. Hotmail is usually good at filtering..

OrigamiOwl · 16/11/2023 22:38

Mine is also Hotmail and in the pass few weeks it has become rubbish at filtering out spam.

Tessisme · 16/11/2023 23:08

Ah, mine is Hotmail too!

Plankingplanks · 14/11/2023 11:33

Me too. Following on from the annoying Oral B ones I was getting previously. I keep reporting them as junk

Yes me too. Oral b and now temu

CurlyCabbage · 17/11/2023 01:06

Yes so it is an issue with hotmail mainly. Same ‘youve won an oral B toothbrush’ ‘ russian beauties’ and now Temu spam. It is very obviously spam as well with subject lines containing rubbish. Hotmail are getting loads of complaints to sort it out. Most people are only with them due to historically having a hotmail account. Most prefer to use Gmail nowadays. Hopefully the many complaints and feedback will have an effect. I suppose in the meantime send straight to the junk mail folder and log complaints with hotmail.

Plankingplanks · 14/11/2023 13:33

If i try to block them it says that I can't block my own organisation, which is ridiculous as it's just an Outlook account

That’s what I’m getting too 😡
I’ve reported to https://mailto:[email protected]/

Motnight · 17/11/2023 06:32

I am getting over 10 spam emails a day to my Hotmail account. Including temu.

I report every time but not sure if it actually makes any difference.

VisionsOfSplendour · 17/11/2023 06:39

Like others have said this is nothing to do with temu or having your passwords compromised or your friends buying from temu and Hotmail really needs to sort it out as it's flipping annoying

The oral b one seems to stop them started up again for a while before iif finally disappeadd.
I didn't know about the email address, I'm going to do that from now on

@giv

NotebookNell · 17/11/2023 06:42

I reported the first few as phishing and marked them as junk but they kept coming so I set up a rule that means any messages containing ‘temu’ are automatically diverted to the junk folder.

I never intend to buy anything - a quick google will tell you about security & data issues.

JenniferJupiterVenusandMars · 17/11/2023 06:20

They've set the sender address to the recipient (apparently quite easy to do), so you can't block yourself.

Just don't click on any links
