Ghanaian socialite, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Real pleaded guilty to charges related to her involvement in a romance scam yesterday, February 21, 2024.<\/p>\n
According to reports from the United States Attorney\u2019s Office, Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that 4Reall has admitted to her role in laundering the proceeds of romance scams.<\/p>\n
This Office and our law enforcement partners are relentless in bringing fraudsters who target Americans to justice, no matter where they are,\u201d the U.S. attorney concluded.<\/p>\n
Mona is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.<\/p>\n
She has consented to pay a forfeiture of $2,164,758.41 and make restitution in the same amount as part of her plea deal.<\/p>\n
Mona was allegedly part of a West African-based criminal organization that perpetrated several frauds, including romance scams, against American people and companies.<\/p>\n
The enterprise targeted a large number of elderly, single, and vulnerable men and women.<\/p>\n
The company would deliver money under pretenses by tricking victims into thinking they were in love relationships with fictitious identities that group members had taken on.<\/p>\n
Reacting to this, Afia in a self-recorded video expressed her worry for Hajia\u2019s daughter, Naila.<\/p>\n
Afia said she would pray for Hajia to see the light when she returns from jail so that she won\u2019t go back to her fraudulent ways.<\/p>\n
