"Real Housewife" is a Real Scammer

You expect perpetrators of elder abuse to be strangers or maybe even family, but not reality TV stars. Jen Shah is an American TV personality best known for starring in the reality TV show, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. She gained popularity for her confident and aggressive attitude, which made the show entertaining. However, on March 30, 2021, Shah was arrested for numerous counts of money laundering and fraud, targeting mainly older people. In a media interview, one of her victims spoke out, saying, "I was stupid enough to get caught in a scam, but I am not a stupid person." The victim went on to say that although it was embarrassing, they wanted to talk about the incident to warn others. The scam affected thousands of people and lasted for nine years. Shah has been sentenced to six years in prison.

At Proof Please, our primary goal is to protect and defend against elder abuse and any other form of injustice towards the older adults and seniors. We strongly disagree with and condemn Jen Shah's acts of manipulation and deception, especially towards older people who are more vulnerable to these types of incidents. Such scams can ruin many lives and can even come from celebrities or people whom you might think are least likely to scam you.
