Hajia 4Reall, a socialite and singer who was deported from the United Kingdom to the United States, is accused of scamming elderly, unmarried American men and women out of almost $2 million in a filthy lonely hearts scam.
The prosecution claims that Hajia 4 Reall’s romance scam targeted elderly and unmarried Americans living alone.
According to U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, “As alleged, Mona Faiz Montrage was a member of a criminal conspiracy that specifically targeted older Americans through romance scams. These scams can be both financially and emotionally devastating for vulnerable victims. Thanks to the efforts of our law enforcement partners, Montrage was arrested abroad and has been brought to the United States to face justice.”

Driscoll said: “We alleged today that Ms. Montrage participated in multiple romance scams – often targeting elderly victims – resulting in more than $2 million in fraudulent funds under her control. Romance scams – especially those that target older individuals – are of major concern. The FBI will be tireless in our efforts to hold fraudsters accountable in the criminal justice system.”
However, the US Attorney’s Office stated in a press release that the charges in the Indictment are only accusations, and the defendant is deemed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
