They're the classic style, but with a camera. They can record you at the gym, office, and even during sex. Really. I'm Kim Commando for The Current. It's my five-star rated newsletter read by almost a million folks. sign up for free at getkim.com here's how to spot if you're being recorded by smart glasses first a tiny white led on the right temple glows when recording problem it's easier to cover with a black sticker or program it not to turn on next the glasses make a sound when filming starts and stops but it's pretty faint finally you have to press a button on the top of the frames to start recording
If they keep adjusting their glasses, you're probably on camera. And yes, a man used his smart glasses to secretly film himself having sex with a woman he met on a dating app. He sent her the videos as a thank you the next day. She had no idea she was being recorded. He pleaded guilty to voyeurism and got hit with a fine. It's not the last case for sure. Get my free newsletter at GetCam.com.

So, you know, Andrew, we read about, we hear a lot about Venmo scams and joining us right now. And we're gonna start with all of our phone calls is Brenda in Atlanta, Georgia. And now Brenda, you have an interesting Venmo scam. I understand.
Yes, I do. Um, it happened Christmas day. I was coming home from an event and there was a gentleman young boy standing in the median and i thought he was trying to cross the road so i kept my car a little bit further back and then he motioned for me to come up and i rolled down the window and said i'm sorry i thought you were trying to cross the road and he said no my coach is having us out here collecting money for our basketball team so i handed attempted to hand him a five dollar bill and he said no no no the coach doesn't want us to take any money, but he wants you to Venmo him. And I said, well, that's not a very good idea. And he said, please, it's just $2. I have to show the coach that I'm really trying.
What are the implications of secretly recording someone with smart glasses?
So I picked up my phone and I opened Venmo and I said, tell me his name. I'll Venmo $5. And that time he reached in my car, grabbed my phone and starts with a QR code on his phone. And I reached and grabbed his phone out of his hand and said, give me my phone back right now. Give me my phone back. And he continued messing with my phone and then finally handed it back to me and I gave him his phone and then I just left. And as soon as I got to my driveway, which was two minutes, I called 911. And I said to the police officer, I'm not sure what just happened, but please go and check it out. So then sitting in my driveway, I looked at my Venmo and I couldn't see anything that had happened until I went to transactions and it shows that he had attempted to send $2,000 somewhere.
And it just showed a number, but it was not my, my Venmo account.
