The 38 year-old Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace appeared on How’d You Get So Rich? which saw her shopping around for a £4.2million home.
The glamour model admitted she was paid "life-changing money" for her first underwear shoot and has cleverly invested the dosh, stacking up a property portfolio worth a "few millions".
But despite having bragging rights over her rags-to-riches story, her success has opened her up to online fraudsters.
Aisleyne was targeted by the thieves after the episode aired and mistakenly gave up all of her details – including her home address.
"After the show aired I had hundreds of emails from people asking me for things, which I thought was really weird, but one thing got me," she explained.
"It was an email about my Amazon Prime membership which looked completely legit with the website address and everything, and I decided I wanted to cancel it as I don’t want to pay £179 for something I never use."
The 38-year-old then began to divulge all of her personal details including her home address, passwords and date of birth.
She added to The Sun: "As soon as I’d done it I emailed my accountant to ask if I’d been paying for it last year, because I was then trying to figure out when I got Amazon Prime, and then he put up the red flag that it was fraudulent.
"Amazon confirmed it was too and since then it’s been a complete nightmare as I’ve had to call up everyone and literally cancel everything."
Despite cancelling her cards, Aisleyne still worries that the fraudsters will come after her riches in the future.
She also fears that taking part in the Channel 5 show has made her an easy target for online thieves.
She continued: "It’s a great thing for people to be inspired by my story, but I am scared that I’ve become a target."
