Hajia4Reall to be sentenced over internet fraud charges

Ghanaian musician and socialite Hajia4Reall, born Mona Faiz Montrage, will be sentenced today, June 28, 2024, in a US court over internet fraud charges to which she has pleaded guilty.

Hajia4Reall’s legal team has requested a three-month sentence, emphasizing her role as a single mother and the necessity of her presence in her child’s life.

However, the US Attorney’s Office has argued for the full 37-month term, citing similar cases and emphasizing the need for a proper deterrent to others.

Hajia4Reall named the father of her daughter, Loveman Allison, as the person who introduced her to internet fraud.

She met Allison in 2015 in the United States, fell in love with him, and later discovered his involvement in fraud, which he subsequently introduced her to.

The socialite has been charged with her role in a romance scam amounting to $2 million. Reports indicate she engaged in a romance scam, receiving wire transfers totaling $89,000 from one victim to purportedly fund her father’s farm.

Hajia4Reall faces multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, money laundering, receipt of stolen money, and conspiracy to receive stolen money.

These charges carry significant prison sentences, with the receipt of stolen money carrying a potential 10-year sentence and conspiracy to receive stolen cash carrying a five-year term.
