It looks like the\u00a0website which nearly scammed Dog the Bounty Hunter out of AED1.5 million<\/a> attempted to pull the same tricks on former Baywatch stars.<\/p>\n

How the offending website is still in operation is mind-boggling.<\/p>\n

Donna D’Errico and Krista Allen, both stars of the TV cult classic series Baywatch were offered a whopping AED1 million to come to Dubai for an appearance in July, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n

The offer allegedly came from the office of a UAE Sheikh.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Former Baywatch babe Donna D’Errico was reportedly nearly duped by the scam<\/h2>\n

Comedian and former Baywatch star\u00a0Krista Allen was also embroiled in the fraud<\/h2>\n

In return for a short appearance in Dubai, the ladies were simply asked to make a donation to a charitable website<\/h2>\n

The stars were contacted to speak\u00a0at an economic empowerment convention for small business owners, however, as soon as the forms were signed, they noticed suspicious behaviour.<\/p>\n

The event organisers had difficulty wiring the money and soon after asked for a sizable donation to the Sheikh’s charitable fund.<\/p>\n

A phoney website was even created which claims to be linked to HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.<\/p>\n

Like Dog The Bounty Hunter, the ladies soon realised the fast paycheque was too good to be true and both declined the offer<\/h2>\n
