Is There an All Out War on Temu.com Sales?

Is Temu.com, the golden grail for retail startups and those looking for wholesale deals being red-lined? When are banks and other third parties going too far under the guise of protecting other people’s money? For example, when you place an order from an online company, sometimes they take a dollar out, and add it back to your payment account to confirm that the account is active. When Temu.com does the same, your payment account is flagged, and could be frozen for potential fraud. Mind you, you’ve made other international purchases with no question, but when you order from Temu.com, there are concerns from your bank. Unfortunately, the only way to resolve these concerns is that you have the inconvenience of visiting your local bank to fix the issue after they have frozen the account. Another case in point, if you go online, and do a web search for an item you need to purchase, the most popular search engine on the planet redirects you away from Temu.com search results to alternative outcomes. Keep your eyes open; it happens quickly. Problem is, where are the deals? Some of the exact same merchandise is in the secondary results, only with with middle-man pricing. Where is the fun in that, and most of all, where are the savings? If you are a Temu.com customer, enjoy the ride. It appears, it won’t be long before you are void of the incredible deals that have been enjoyed by many looking to stretch their dollars or start a business. In addition to that, with the proposed upcoming tariffs on international trade, more “deal killers” to come. So the question is, what is Temu.com doing or able to do with products and banking info that domestic companies can’t or can do?
