Temu bots

Post Reply New Topic

Hey everyone,

I've just noticed a bunch of Temu adds pop up on here tonight, and I just want warn everyone to not click on any links. Also if you see any more pop up please report them, I would like to nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand.

Thanks,

CFL

Just a friendly reminder to report any bots or spam that you see here on Wrong Planet. I have reported about five in the last day or two.

We don't want the spam to get out of hand like this:

I saw those threads, and figured somebody else would have already reported them. Sure enough they're all gone now. AFAIK it's not possible to report that kind of thing without opening the thread - presumably on the grounds of "how can you know it's spam if you haven't opened it?" But in this case it was blindingly obvious from the thread titles. It must be one hell of a stupid spammer if they think that kind of crap is going to sell anything.

I see Temu has received criticism before:
