Breaking: Hajia 4Real extradited to US for alleged role in a series of romance scam.

Ghanaian musician and social media influencer, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia 4Real has been extradited to United States from the United Kingdom on allegations of swindling over $2 million

According to New York Post, federal prosecutors on Monday, May 15, 2023 at the  Manhattan federal court announced that Hajia4real is battling allegations of defrauding older, single American men and women in a relationship scam.

However, the Badder Than singer has pleaded not guilty and will be released in the upcoming days upon posting a $500,000 bond.

Prosecutors alleged that Hajia4Real was involved in a network of fraudsters hailing from Ghana and Nigeria.

“As alleged, Mona Faiz Montrage was a member of a criminal conspiracy that specifically targeted older Americans through romance scams,” Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. “These scams can be both financially and emotionally devastating for vulnerable victims.”

According to the court papers, a specific case highlighted details of how Hajia4Real allegedly deceived a victim into sending her $89,000 through 82 wire transfers under the pretense of providing financial aid for her father’s farm in Ghana.

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.
