First of all, I must applaud the dogged pattern of publicity by the Temu Company. They just appeared and got announced everywhere. Initially, I thought it was only in my country when I started seeing the ads on social media and everywhere, but little did I know that it was a worldwide thing because I have seen people from other countries talking about it.
Last week, I got forwarded a Temu invite link by a friend who told me that Temu was running a promo where the winners, if they met the requirements, would get to pick any four items of their choice and have them delivered to them. I did not believe it, as I have seen a lot of such things that often ended with the company not meeting up with their terms or whereby the terms and conditions would be very difficult or demanding, such as requiring a deposit before getting the items. This friend said this one was real because he had seen a lot of people who got their prizes delivered. After many hours of persuasion, I gave in, registered, and gave my one ticket to win.
I started hunting for my own referrals to be able to win. Oh yes, the only requirement was to refer massively, say 20 to 25 referrals, to qualify. That was a huge requirement. And the craziest of the terms was that all the referrals had to be achieved within 24 hours, and once the 24 hours elapsed, all the referrals would become of no use.
I started hunting for referrals, spamming WhatsApp groups, and begging friends and family to register with my link. To my surprise, most of them had already been collected/registered by other Temu users.
I was left with just a few points to clear up. I had 12 referrals, but I could not meet up when it hit the 24-hour mark.
It's well.
Thank you!
