Information reaching our front desk suggests that Ghanaian socialite, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Real has pleaded guilty to charges related to her involvement in a romance scam.
According to reports from the United States Attorney’s 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.
This Office and our law enforcement partners are relentless in bringing fraudsters who target Americans to justice, no matter where they are,” the U.S attorney concluded.
Mona is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.
She has consented to pay forfeiture of $2,164,758.41 and make restitution in the same amount as part of her plea deal.
Mona was allegedly a part of a West African-based criminal organization that perpetrated several frauds, including romance scams, against American people and companies.
The enterprise targeted a large number of elderly, single, and vulnerable men and women.
The company would deliver money under false pretenses by tricking victims into thinking they were in love relationships with fictitious identities that group members had taken on.
