“You are very f***ing beautiful. I like you."
An American TikToker who has allegedly been secretly filming women and uploading the videos on social media is now being investigated by Australian police.
Sayed, known as @itspolokid online, has over 1 million TikTok followers and uploads videos of him “picking up” women.
Recently, he has been filming in Melbourne and Sydney, posting the videos without the women’s consent.
Some of the women who have been approached and filmed by Sayed claimed they were not told they were on camera, with Sayed using Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to film their reactions.
In one video captioned “Looking for an Australian wife”, Sayed approaches a bikini-clad woman relaxing on the beach with her friend.
After introducing himself, he tells her: “You are very f***ing beautiful. I like you.”
Sayed then tells her friend: “I’m in love with your friend.”
As he asks questions, the woman tells him: “Very presumptuous.”
Sayed then learns the woman is happily married but seemingly doesn’t believe her.
When she shows him her wedding ring, he gets up and leaves before revealing he is a content creator.
Another woman named Tahnaya Jae said she was blocked after she asked the TikToker to take the video of her down.
The video shows Sayed asking Tahnaya for her number before she walks away.
She told News.au: “I got off easy compared to some of the other girls. He knows this type of thing is not okay. He wouldn’t have blocked me otherwise. Total power trip.”
Tahnaya said she didn’t know she was being filmed because his smartglasses look exactly like regular Ray-Ban glasses.
She added:
“I’ve seen some of the girls asking him to take their video down, but he’s ignoring and blocking them too.”
“The way some of the other girls are being bullied in the comments section breaks my heart.”
Sayed’s behaviour also led to a social media warning on Bondi’s community page.
The post read: “There has been a guy approaching women on the beach, on the street, basically anywhere deemed public space across all of the eastern suburbs… filming women without their consent when they are caught off guard.
“He appears friendly enough, however, what these women don’t know is that their bodies, faces and reactions are being recorded and for some of them, posted to his 1.2 million followers on Instagram and TikTok.”
In New South Wales (NSW), recording someone without consent can carry up to five years in prison.
NSW Police said they were aware of the content after one of the women reported the incident.
A statement read: “Police have commenced an investigation into an alleged breach of the Listening Devices Act committed at Bondi on Friday 7 February 2025.
“No further information is available at this stage.”
