There seems to be a new scam email claiming you’re the winner of a Temu Pallet. Doesn’t that sound a little fishy to anyone else?
I’ve had 3 this week alone. This is the first time I’m seeing the emails so I assume it’s a new phishing scam.
The senders
I’ve had 3 in total over the last week. But two were from what looked like legitimate business. One was from Home Goods and the other was from Adorama. I knew both were spam messages because neither business is associated with Temu. I was wondering if the newsletter services that the brands use may have been hacked.
But that’s just a suspicion on my part.
The third email was from the following sender:
great@demogriffice.com
I assume this is a fake email address. It was sent to an old Yahoo account I have.
The email message
The messages vary by email but the one sent from the address listed above is the following:
Please note thatMissing or incorrect shipping details may cancel delivery.
email text
You have won an Temu Pallet

The email itself was pretty simple but it was bright and eye-catching.
The other emails were blank because the images were removed by Gmail. So they were basic link text saying Congratulations You have won an Temu Pallet.
Where the emails link
I was able to hoover my cursor over the link that was included in the email from Home Goods. The link seems to send you to a TJ Maxx URL. But I assume it’s a redirection link that will send you somewhere else. Or to a Phishing form that asks you to fill in your information.
What type of scam is this?
I can only guess that this is a phishing scam. The links redirect you to a form or some other form of sign-up page. Which in turn asks for your personal information. I can only assume this is a new scam because Temu is so popular.
Think before you click the link
Let’s take a moment to think about this email for a minute.
Why or how would you win a Temu Pallet? Especially if you aren’t a Temu user.
Then let’s take it a step further to ask what would the pallet contain.
Always check the sender email address if it’s something completely unrelated to the prize won you know it’s a scam.
Don’t fall for this scam email. Let’s get the word out.
