In a startling revelation, renowned Ghanaian influencer Mona Faiz Montrage, widely known as Hajia4Reall, has entered a guilty plea in connection to a $2 million romance scam case in the United States. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams disclosed that Montrage knowingly received money obtained through romance scams targeting elderly Americans.
The scam exploited vulnerable individuals seeking romantic connections online, leaving them to grapple with the harsh reality of being deceived. The U.S. Attorney's office, dedicated to combating fraud, emphasized its commitment to bringing individuals like Montrage, who target Americans, to justice.
The influencer now faces severe consequences, with charges including wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and more, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
This development unfolds after Montrage's extradition from the United Kingdom earlier in May 2023, marking a significant moment in the battle against online scams targeting unsuspecting victims.
