I have been hearing stories of people here experiencing credit card fraud after buying stuff off TEMU. I wouldnt touch it myself, looks too good to be true

Anecdata I know, but all my purchases with Temu have been a positive experience so far. Yes dirt cheap with questionable quality items, but delivery is much quicker than e.g. Amazon. That said, I didn't use a credit card but iDeal instead (Dutch system, much harder to fraud).
