While starring on “Teen Mom,” Farrah Abraham fell into a scam when she attempted to sell her car online. In one episode, a con artist sent Abraham a check for the car and asked her to wire $3,000 to them for shipping costs. After trying to cash the check, the reality star learned that it was fake, causing her to lose out on thousands of dollars. “I have to feed and take responsibility for myself and Sophia, so I was definitely worried,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “I think it’s melded into me that I can’t do it all my own.”
Despite what she said, getting scammed didn’t seem to teach Abraham a lesson on finances. As reported by Hollyscoop in 2018, the “Celebrity Big Brother” star was spending more than she was raking in. According to sources, Abraham didn’t have “nearly enough income to stop the bleeding of all the costs.” Despite her dwindling bank account, she shared a pic of herself jetting off to Hong Kong with her daughter Sophia in first-class seats. Perhaps if she had known she was going be sued the following year, she would have sprung for coach instead.
