In that case maybe Leicestershire trading standards may be interested.
According to reviews it's been reported multiple times. Been going on for years now it seems.

The trend seems to be, empty boxes. Getting chewing gum or items missing from orders. Once a listing gets a lot of bad reviews it's taken down.. Make of that what you will..
They also change listings after someone complains. Order 40 pack of cat food, get 6.listing changes to 6 but the price doesn't change. So it seems when Temu try to verify the order it then matches and don't care. At least eBay takes a snapshot of what you order to stop that type of scam.
