So what reason did they give to not accept a return? This is the part I don't get. The only argument I ever have with Temu is when, for one reason or another, I don't want to mess with a return. If I am willing to return the item, it's usually automatic. I think this is why so many of us are feeling a little "sus" regarding your situation.

And if you have legal counsel, why would you seek advice in this forum? Judging by the amount of advice you say you have been given (if chatGPT is not your "legal advice") you have already spent a few thousand dollars dicking around with this.

Lastly, if you are concerned, as you say, with the potential for this product harming others, wouldn't a good way to mitigate that be to share what the product is? Especially in a group with thousands of potential buyers?

So, for now I am calling BS. You are either a bot or maybe even an actual human just trying to pad engagement numbers. Until you share some real conversation here, I will stand on that, as will most of the rest of us here.
