It comes after she ran the London Marathon earlier this year in aide of the WellChild charity.
The Channel 4 star had ran the annual event in honour of Jonnie Irwin - her colleague who tragically died with cancer earlier this year.
Kylie Jenner goes braless in mesh catsuit for new snaps on New Year's EveLaura told us: "I raised five and a half grand for them, but after I ran the marathon there were people saying 'do you know there are people setting up scam pages saying 'I'm still fundraising for the marathon' and still trying to get donations.
"They weren't legitimately for the charity and that just makes me feel sick that people were willing to do that when I was running.
"I had an official Just Giving page and then there are scammers that are sucking people in saying 'oh yeah we're still trying to fundraise' and that is so terrible."
The mum-of-two previously told her fans to block and report the scammers to the police in an emotional video.
"If you look at my Instagram page it says this is my only page, it's just madness that people seem to do it and very frustrating."
Laura, who is mum to Rocco, 10, and Tahlia, six, has been one of the property experts on the A Place in the Sun since 2012.
Laura shares her two kids with ex husband Alex, with the pair splitting in January 2022 after nine years of marriage.
Laura recently opened up about her rare health condition on a BBC's Pointless Celebrities.
When asked what charity that she was raising money for, Laura said: “And I’m playing for the ITP Support Association. ITP is immune thrombocytopenia.
“It’s something that I suffer from. It’s an autoimmune disease - a low platelet count in your blood.
