Ghanaian social media influencer, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall has been extradited from the United Kingdom to the US for allegedly swindling over $2 million from older, single American men and women in a twisted romance scam.

Mona Faiz Montrage, 30, has pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against her after she appeared in Manhattan federal court on Monday.

She is set to be released on home detention to her aunt’s New Jersey residence in the coming days on a $500,000 bond with GPS tracking via an ankle monitor, her lawyer and the prosecutor’s office had confirmed.

“As a result of committing the money laundering offences alleged in Counts Three and Four of this Indictment, MONA FAIZ MONTRAGE, the defendant, shall forfeit to the United States, pursuant to Title 18. United States Code, Section 982 (a) (1), any and all property, real and personal, involved in said offences, and any property traceable to such property, including but not limited to a sum of money in United States currency representing the amount of property involved in said offences,” the prosecutors added in a writ sighted by ABC News.

Below are the six charges against Hajia4Reall:

Count One – Conspiracy to commit wire fraud

At all times relevant to this Indictment, MONA FAIZ MONTRAGE, the defendant, and others known and unknown, were members of a criminal enterprise (the “Enterprise”) based in West Africa that committed a series of frauds against individuals and businesses located across the United States, including in the Southern District of New York.

The Enterprise has perpetrated multiple romance scams, among other fraud schemes.
