Venmo's "public by default" transactions reveal drug deals, breakups, more

I signed up some time ago to accept payment as a freelance make-up artist and hair stylist. I’ve used it to pay for massages, music lessons, and group purchases related to schools, weddings, and clubs.

It’s really easy to change the transaction settings to private. I did this the first day after seeing the feed of “friends’” transactions.

I’ve also never had any security issues or scam solicitations.
