Episode Description

Last year a new app launched in Australia that promised unbeatable deals from Chinese manufacturers. Initially luring users with enticing offers and cash incentives, but Temu's shine began to fade after a number of customer complaints about the products, customer service & cyber security issues. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at Temu's ownership, product range and ethical concerns surrounding its business model. We also speak to cybersecurity expert Paul Haskell-Dowland about how consumers should approach Temu.
