Now this is a “dog”-gone shame — faux real.
Fashionistas on the market for an inexpensive, cruelty-free accessory might be barking up the wrong tree if they purchase the same necklace as a dissatisfied Temu customer, who claims the pendant on her costume jewelry is actually a rank animal’s tooth.
“What the hell, Temu? What the hell?” questioned Bella Moscardini, a content creator from the UK, in a scathing TikTok testimonial.
“It really, really looks like a dog’s tooth,” she continued while showcasing the ornament, an off-white and black bauble, to her more than 1.1 million viewers. “This natural decay really makes me think that [it] has been yanked out of a mouth.”
And Moscardini’s canine claims are leaving mouths agape worldwide.
“What the flip, Temu?” barked a concerned commenter.
“I’m scared of Temu,” an equally stunned skeptic admitted.
Beneath her trending post, Moscardini commented that she’d been “trying to” report the alleged mishap to the powers that be.
A spokesperson for the online marketplace tells The Post, “At Temu, we provide a 90-day money-back guarantee for items that are not as described, are damaged or do not arrive.”
The rep added: “Customers can contact our customer service through the app or website.”
The spokesperson didn’t directly address the veracity of the customer’s claim.
The brunette is far from the only peeved patron to blast Temu for allegedly putting on a dog and pony show for unwitting shoppers.
An Australian tastemaker recently took the e-store to task after receiving a resin “croissant lamp” that was, according to her, a hunk of bread.
“I got this Temu lamp as a gift from my sisters, and I had it in my room, and I came home from work after the hot day, and there was, like, hundreds of ants underneath it,” groaned the woman in a viral vid.
“I just poked a bigger hole and it, like, low-key looks like a f–king croissant under there,” she said. “Are you actually joking me? That looks like f–king pastry. Look at the crumbs. What the actual f–k, Temu?”
Florida mom Leanne Marley also got more than she bargained for after stepping into a pair of $12 boots purchased on the site, and allegedly slicing open her right foot on a “razor sharp” eyelet built into the footwear.
“My foot was pouring with blood,” said Marley, a nurse. She was rushed to a local hospital and patched up with 14 stitches. “The injury took me out of work … I paid around $2,200” in medical expenses.
Kelly Kaye, a Temu habitué, also suffered a funky flub, when she ordered starfish-shaped home décor that allegedly “turned up stinking of shellfish.”
The blond claims the cutesy trinket was a “real” starfish.
In TikTok visuals with more than 10 million views, she cracked open an arm of the knickknack to reveal what appeared to be the innards of a sea creature.
“Don’t buy the starfish curtain ties,” Kaye begged in the closed captions of the clip.
Moscardini issued a similar warning to followers.
“Temu necklace scandal. I am absolutely disgusted,” the whistle-blower stamped at the top of her video, in which she described the “strong stench” emanating from the pendant.
“I burned it with a lighter — it’s not melting,” she said, seemingly supporting her suspicions that the dangling gem is a rotted tooth rather than a painted piece of plastic. “And then the most disgusting smell comes off of it next. I’ve double, triple checked and it reeks.”
“Don’t buy this weird necklace from Temu,” urged Moscardini.
“I’m outraged and disgusted. Not happy.”
