Hajia 4real Extradited To US In ＄2M Romance Scam Preying Older and Single Americans.

Ghanaian influencer and Musician Mona Faiz Montrage popularly known as Hajia for real has been extradited from the United Kingdom to the United.

The feds claim that Hajia is part of a network of scam artists who prey on those looking for love and affection and are vulnerable by sending out emails, texts, and social media posts under false names to make them believe they are in a relationship.

According to court findings, Hajia 4real deceived a victim in one instance into transferring her 89,000 US dollars over 82 wire transfers under the pretense that she was supporting her father’s farm in Ghana.

After many phone chats using her true identity, Hajia reportedly misled the victim into thinking they were married by giving him a tribal marriage certificate. 

Hajia had 2 million dollars from the members of the group who ripped money from victims to a bank account in the Bronx and other places, including one opened in the name of 4Reall Designs. She then laundered the money to other members of the scam group.

Despite her efforts to remain undetected on November 10, 2022, she was detained in the UK for the alleged plot and extradited to the US.

She was charged with conspiracy, money laundering, receiving stolen property, and wire fraud. If found guilty of the most serious allegation, she may spend up to 20 years in jail.

According to her attorney and the prosecutor’s office, Montrage entered a not guilty plea at her court appearance and was scheduled to be freed on a ＄500,000 bail, with GPS tracking through an ankle monitor, to live in home detention at her aunt’s New Jersey house in the next days.

The case of Hajia Mona Faiz Montrage makes it imperative for people to be aware of the dangers of engaging in online relationships and to use caution when doing so.
