Ghanaian musician and social media influencer, Mona Faiz Montrage, known as\u00a0Hajia4Real\u00a0has been repatriated from the United Kingdom to the United States on allegations of swindling over $2 million<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hajia4real is facing allegations of duping older, single American men and women in a disturbing lonely hearts scam, federal prosecutors announced on Monday, May 15, 2023.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post, \u2018The Badder Than\u2019 singer appeared in Manhattan federal court on Monday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the court proceedings, she entered a plea of not guilty. It has been confirmed that she will be released in the upcoming days upon posting a $500,000 bond.<\/p>\n

As part of her release conditions, she will be required to wear an ankle monitor with GPS tracking.<\/p>\n

According to federal authorities, Montrage, who gained significant recognition through her widely popular Instagram page Hajia4Reall with a peak following of approximately 3.4 million users, was involved in a network of fraudsters hailing from Ghana and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

These individuals employed deceptive tactics, assuming false identities to create an illusion of romantic relationships with their victims through emails, text messages, and social media communications.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs alleged, Mona Faiz Montrage was a member of a criminal conspiracy that specifically targeted older Americans through romance scams,\u201d Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. \u201cThese scams can be both financially and emotionally devastating for vulnerable victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThanks to the efforts of our law enforcement partners, Montrage was arrested abroad and has been brought to the United States to face justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

In court papers, a specific case highlighted details of how Hajia4Real allegedly deceived a victim into sending her a staggering $89,000 through 82 wire transfers under the pretence of providing financial aid for her father\u2019s farm in Ghana.<\/p>\n

The documents further assert that Hajia took the scheme to the next level by sending the victim a tribal marriage certificate, attempting to validate their fabricated marital status.<\/p>\n

This elaborate ruse unfolded following a series of phone conversations during which the fashionista and serial entrepreneur used her actual identity.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, prosecutors contend that Mother of One also received funds from several other victims who were deceived by the scams orchestrated by her network of fraudsters.<\/p>\n

The total amount accumulated by Montrage is believed to be around $2 million, which was subsequently deposited into bank accounts held by her in various locations, including one under the guise of 4Reall Designs, a fictitious clothing company.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, the stolen funds were later laundered to other individuals involved in the criminal enterprise.<\/p>\n

Recall that a news report broke about her arrest in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2022, and her initial sentencing, which was later debunked by her team<\/p>\n

Hajia4Real was later extradited to the United States on Friday to answer charges including wire fraud, money laundering, receipt of stolen money, and conspiracy.<\/p>\n

If found guilty on the most severe charge, she could potentially face a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
