The Celebrity Big Brother star explained that back in 2018 she had just moved to London from New York, and decided to go on a date with a guy she met on Bumble.
She went on a date with a guy that she met on Bumble and said he was "supportive" of the divorce she was going through at the time.
The topic of money came into conversation and sent her over details of an account manager that she could use to help her make money off of the money she has saved up.
Marisha had many calls with him and thought he worked for a reputable firm.
She originally put 24k in and was happy to see that she was getting money in return, and ended up with £60k in the account.
But one day she had a bad feeling about things, so while on set of Aladdin, so tried to get in contact with her account manager - and couldn't get through.
Recalling the moment, Marisha said: "I was in the trailer getting ready, and I texted him on a win because I had a bad feeling.
"I texted him, nobody responded. I called, nobody respoinded.
"I kept calling and nobody responded."
As she continued to tell the story she got visibly upset, but held back the tears as she said: "Then the runner came to get me out of my trailer and I was literally like in tears.
"I was crying, I was like 'It's a scam!' I knew in that moment instantly that it was wrong.
"There was a feeling."
She added: "You cant tell anyone...
"There's so much shame and you don't think it's real, you don't think that you've actually been scammed. how is this person that i think i know scammed me?"
The reality favourite revealed that she finally got back in contact with his friend and he told her that her account manager had just missed her call.
She told him that she wanted her money back, and had to "play it cool" for a few days despite knowing it was a scam.
Marisha researched the company that he worked for online and they told her that he wasn't real.
She gathered recorded phone conversations, texts, all the information and the police said they couldn't do anything.
At the end of the interview, the star said that she wants people to know that there is "hope" and they don't have to "suffer alone".
Marisha also confessed that she's now been able to buy her mum the house that she saved up for.
