Smart Glasses Capture $300 Labubu Scam: Seller Disputes Venmo Charge After Transaction
A recent video circulating online, reportedly filmed using Ray-Ban Metas smart glasses, details a concerning incident of alleged fraud during a peer-to-peer transaction. The video, uploaded by user 816Soulz, shows an exchange in a parking lot where a case of collectible "Labubus" figures was sold to two women for $300. The seller, identified as Jordan Blount in a Venmo notification shown in the video, accepted payment via the Venmo app from a user named Fiona Mayden. The video captures the full interaction, from the initial greeting to the women departing with the purchased items. However, shortly after the transaction was completed, Blount received an email from Venmo notifying him that the $300 payment had been disputed. The reason provided for the dispute was that "The sender stated that they did not make this purchase." The video concludes with Blount's frustrated reaction to the dispute, indicating his intention to pursue the matter with Venmo. This incident highlights the potential risks associated with online payment platforms for in-person transactions and raises questions about buyer and seller protections.
