Overview
- The SSC-CDMX Cyber Police issued an active alert about phishing that copies Temu’s branding to lure users to fraudulent links and forms.
- Scammers push ads on social networks and spoofed emails promising gifts, mystery boxes, exclusive prizes or extreme discounts to harvest personal and card details.
- Fake pages closely replicate Temu’s look to make victims believe they are joining legitimate promotions or completing real purchases.
- Authorities warn the stolen data can enable unauthorized transfers and purchases as well as identity fraud such as opening accounts or requesting credit.
- Users are advised to verify senders and domains, avoid suspicious links, check URLs, use secure payments, enable 2FA, keep devices updated, and report cases to 55 5242 5100 ext. 5086 or policia.cibernetica@ssc.cdmx.gob.mx; no Temu system breach or arrests have been reported.
