MAFS Star Mishel Karen SCAMMED $150,000 Of Her Porn Earnings Through Love Fraud

Former Married At First Sight star Mishel Karen has become one of Australia’s biggest and most unlikely OnlyFans stars in the past year.

But the 51-year-old grandmother has been cheated out of her earnings from the site after being the target of an elaborate financial trading scam that left her emotionally devastated.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the mother-of-two said scammers made off with more than $77,267 of her money, on top of leaving her heartbroken after someone courted her with a fake romance.

Her extended family members also lost to the scam, including her parents who invested $80,000 in the scheme and her cousin, who donated $15,000.

The whole family lost about $150,000.

“I really feel like a big dumb dumb, I really do,” she admitted.

“They know the person, they know your weakness, and they’re going to play on that.”

Mishel was originally tricked into signing up with an online brokerage after being lured by misleading reviews and media articles about the company.

An article she was shown claimed that several prominent Australian celebrities, including a notable TV presenter, had endorsed the televised real estate business – only for Mishel to later discover that the whole article was made up to make fun of her.

She was also given a fake London address for the company and was directed to websites with fake, glowing reviews of the company and false claims about the service’s credibility and safety.

“It was a scam story that wasn’t real,” she said.

“I read the article…but it was a fake story and I didn’t realize it.”

Mishel says she grew suspicious after seeing no financial returns for a few months, which is when the company sent a handsome financial broker named “Charles” to persuade her to stay — and pay.

“They must have known who I was because all of a sudden they gave me a financial broker who became a love interest,” she confessed.

“He started courting me with chocolates and flowers.”

The love rat even convinced Mishel that they would meet and that he would fly her to London so they could be together.

“It just became a romance and he kept getting more and more money out of me,” she complained.

To keep the 51-year-old on the line, the brokerage would fabricate online stocks to make it look like Mishel made thousands of dollars and doubled her investment, when in reality they just stole all of her money.

“They have all the stock and you can see them buying and selling, but it’s not real,” she explained.

“He’d say, ‘Look Mishel, invest so much more, because this is for us! This is for our future.’

Mishel said that Charles would speak to her “almost every day” via Whatsapp, leading her to believe they were in a romantic relationship and would be together one day.

In screenshots of their conversations to the Daily Mail, Charles flirts with the MAFS star by promising to buy her bangs and telling her she’s beautiful.

“I am very attracted to you and I want to get to know you better,” he wrote in a post. “I’m flying you to London this year.”

Despite the fraudulent lover claiming he was a friendly businessman living in London, Mishel revealed he had a suspicious South African accent, but she was so enamored with him that she put her concerns aside.

“Maybe I just should have known,” she sighed. ‘

I just really didn’t know. He had a bit of an English accent, but with a touch of South African.’

The former MAFS star finally realized something was wrong when she had to make an emergency trip to the hospital after a nasty bout of pancreatitis.

“I wanted to withdraw $5,000 [for medical bills] and then the wheels came off,” she said.

At the time, Mishel had been fooled into believing she had more than $180,000 in her account.

She was then tricked with another story from Charles, who told her that the company was under investigation and that he had no access to her money.

When Mishel finally put her foot down and tried to leave the brokerage, she was told that she would only get her money back if she coughed up another $12,000.

“The last call I got they said I could get my money back if I paid an extra $12,000. I just thought, “Oh my god, they’re not stopping!”‘

After Mishel realized something was wrong, she wrote some negative reviews online to warn other potential victims, but the reviews mysteriously disappeared from the site shortly after they were published.

“They kept getting knocked down,” she explained.

“I wrote them back and said, ‘Why are you removing my reviews? This is a scam!'”

The fraud didn’t stop there: the scammers infiltrated Mishel’s cell phone and computer after she gave them access through the remote desktop application AnyDesk.

She didn’t know her computer had been infiltrated until she logged on one day and saw a website open with a basket full of purchases she never made.

Mishel has since reported the fraud to ‘everyone’, including the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission), the police, the ACSC (Australian Cyber ​​Security Centre) and her bank, but was told she was ‘probably’ that won’t. get her money back.

Despite losing much of the money and having to rebuild her bank account from scratch, the single mother confessed that one of the most heartbreaking aspects of the whole experience was being tricked by the man who courted her .

“The stupidest thing is that I kind of missed the guy I had a fake relationship with,” she said.

“I missed him calling me,” she continued. “I have to keep telling myself, ‘This isn’t real, Mishel. He didn’t have those feelings.’ I don’t know…’ she trailed off.

“I just don’t want anyone else to go through this. It’s heartbreaking.’

Mishel has been working full-time as an OnlyFans model and porn actress since she lost her job in policy training last year because she refused to comply with vaccine mandates.

She also financially supports her daughter Eva, who she says developed heart problems and myocarditis after being vaccinated.

Pericarditis and myocarditis have been observed in an extremely small number of people after receiving mRNA vaccines, including Pfizer.

Mishel, a mother of two and grandmother of one, is older than most of her contemporaries at 51 and is also known for performing hardcore acts that other OnlyFans models are unwilling to do.

To stay afloat financially, the star has done everything from lesbian threesomes and a 12-person orgy to selling her used underwear to fans.

Mishel admitted that she is worried about her financial future and the well-being of her family.

“I worry about money. I’m worried that my OnlyFans won’t end up doing so well,” she said.
