Yesterday, we told you that a woman claiming to be an ex-girlfriend of "The Bachelor" Jake Pavelka says she was hooking up with him -- but Jake says she's just out to use his fame to  make some money!

The woman disguised her voice to remain anonymous -- and called into a radio show (Steve Kramer's radio show "That Guy Kramer" on Island 106 in Panama City, Florida). She said Jake contacted her after "The Bachelor" finished filming.

She claims, "He came to my hometown, met my family, met my friends and deceived everyone. And I feel like I'm forced to say something for the sole purpose of defending my honor."

Jake tells Entertainment Tonight she's not telling the truth.

He said,"The relationship with [the woman] was prior to 'The Bachelor,' it simply did not work out. There was no overlap with that or any other relationship during the show. It is unfortunate that people such as this are trying to financially capitalize on or disparage my incredible relationship with Vienna. I only wish everyone could be as happy for us as we are happy together."
