Heather Dubrow’s bank account is a little lighter these days after The Real Housewives of Orange Country star recently claimed that she was scammed out of $2 million!
Heather is exclusively sharing the details of the situation on her new podcast, Heather Dubrow's World, telling Entertainment Tonight that herself and her husband, Terry Dubrow, had their money taken in an “accounting scam.”
Heather and Terry have identified Jennifer Lindsey Bell as the lady who allegedly took their cash. And the two are currently offering an award of $25,000 for any information that can help lead to her arrest. “Right now, it's just about Jennifer Lindsey Bell,” Heather said. “Trying to get someone from another country and finding out where people are is a very interesting proposition.”
She added that she is also using bounty hunter Lil’ Zeke Unger to help track down the woman. “He's helped thousands of people and captured many, many, many people, so we're really hoping that he is going to help us,” Dubrow said. “His information that he gave us today is absolutely invaluable.”

Heather hopes that telling her story will help others avoid a similar scam. “We're putting this story out there, not just to tell everyone, 'Hey, we lost almost $2 million,’” Dubrow said. “But, you know, we feel responsibility. We found out later that these people that scammed us have scammed other people for millions and millions of dollars, and if Terry and I don't come out and go public with this, they will do it again.”
She continued, “We felt we were making a calculated, risk-free investment and it turned out not to be so. And really, it comes down to a matter of trust. Who do you trust? Who can you trust? And, you know, you think you have people you've known for years and years, and it turns out they're not who you think they are.”
For the last several months, Heather and her RHOC castmates have been involved in a feud with Vicki Gunvalson over her messy cancer scandal with her ex Brooks Ayers. But for now, it looks like the reality TV drama has taken a backseat to her current money woes! What do you think about Heather sharing the details of the scam?
