Socialite Mona Montrage or Hajia4Reall has been extradited to the United States from the United Kingdom over her alleged involvement in a $2 million romance scam locally called ‘sakawa’ targeting older, single Americans.
According to federal prosecutors, the 30-year-old model appeared in Manhattan federal court on Monday, May 15 for her alleged involvement in a series of romance schemes targeting older people who lived alone.
The lady born Mona Faiz Montrage pleaded not guilty to the charges.
WHAT IS A ROMANCE SCAM?
There are many cases where men have been scammed by women for money with the idea that they will further a romantic relationship with them, or in some cases be granted sex. This also goes the opposite way with men promising romantic favors to women and not fulfilling them.
However, this is outside of the FBI jurisdiction. According to the FBI, a romance scam….occurs when a criminal adopts a fake online identity to gain a victim’s affection and trust. The scammer then uses the illusion of a romantic or close relationship to manipulate and/or steal from the victim.. Taken off their website Here.
MONA’S REAL CRIME
According to information by Federal prosecutors, the Ghanaian social media influencer, real name Mona Faiz Montrage appeared in federal court in Manhattan on Monday for her alleged involvement in several romance scams.
According to the prosecution, Hajia 4 Reall’s romance scam targeted elderly and single Americans who were living alone.
Montrage, in one case, allegedly duped a victim into sending her $89,000 through 82 wire transfers on the pretext of helping her father’s farm in Ghana, the court documents claim.
She tricked the person into believing the pair were married by sending them a tribal marriage certificate after a series of phone conversations using her real identity, the filing alleges”.
MONA DUPING ELDERLY MEN ISN’T A ROMANCE SCAM
Many people will know of at least one person involved in such acts. Either some boys or a lady who is not so attractive use an attractive female profile to dupe a foreigner or outsider into believing they are about to enter into a relationship with someone they are not, and this goes with the opposite sex also.
However, the real crime is the falsification of identity. Mona using her charms to obtain what she wants from men doesn’t fall under the falsification of identity or adopting a fake online identity. For the FBI to indict Mona of alleged money she received from men that adore her is to legally decide the course of how her relationship with those unsatisfied men should have gone.
Mona can only be found guilty if she pretended to be someone else. FBI’s indictment of the influencer is guilt by association.
In the memo it stated ‘According to the prosecutors, from at least 2013 through 2019, Hajia 4Reall was involved with a group of con artists from West Africa who assumed fake identities to trick people into thinking they were in relationships with them’
However, the allegation holds no legal weight for the following reasons. Either they were con artists faking their identities and pretending to be Mona, or Mona was involved and her identity wasn’t faked at which point the elderly American men were not misled by fake identities.
Mona can not be responsible for the alternative activities executed by the alleged ‘con artists’ if she didn’t participate in pretending to be someone else. Once again, the ROMANCE SCAM is only a scam if one falsifies who they are.
MONA’S ARREST IS A SIGN OF OPPRESSION TO AFRICAN WOMEN
No one will and should agree with the attempt of soliciting money over false relationship promises. If Mona is soliciting money off men by making promises she didn’t fulfill, it is immoral and ethically wrong.
However, indicting Mona on these charges opens up a grey area of the oppression of African women by America. This insinuates that as long as you have collected money from an elderly white man you do not have the right to end your relationship with them, nor leave them unsatisfied.
Most relationships are filled with broken promises, meeting the man you thought you would marry but couldn’t. Looking to travel to be with a lady but work got in the way? Wanting to have sexual relationships with someone, but being put off when you saw them in person.
With all this, to what extent is the FBI allowed to state how a relationship must commence or cease. Are we going to permit them to intervene in all of these where African women and American men are involved to extradite and arrest us?
FBI SHOULD NOT DICTATE THE COURSE OF RELATIONSHIPS
Will the FBI intervene and arrest every African woman that fails to please their alleged American elderly lover once they fail to do as he pleases? There is no law that justifies to what extent one is obliged to do in a relationship outside the falsification of identity.
American men and generally foreigners who fail to find love in their own countries due to the fact they have no appeal usually tend to look to impoverished countries to woo women with finances due to high currency exchange rates and value.
This is a romance-style prostitution that goes on around the world by men who know very well the women they are approaching are out of their league but continue to persue because they believe their limited in social conditions that will enslave them to money. I give you money and help you with your life and you supposedly become my lover.
MONA’S ARREST REINFORCES THIS EXPLOITATION PROSTITUTION
An arrest of Mona based on the dissatisfaction of elderly American men that wished to have her as their lover is a reinforcement by the FBI of this type of exploitative prostitution.
We do not know the full details of her arrest, however in relation to the alleged ‘Romance Scam’ The FBI only has the right to educate its elderly men through social media programs or set legal limitations to money sent outside their country.
ARE AFRICAN WOMEN OBLIGED TO PLEASE THEIR WHITE PARTNERS?
African women should not be arrested for mishaps in relationships with American men, and this should call for the intervention by the Ghanaian government but yet we know the Ghanaian government is an organization of empty skulls making money from serving the same foreign entities.
Once again, no one should credit the act of misleading people and duping them emotionally or even sexually. However until there is a law that dictates the course of relationships and the finances involved and the limitations of breaking up and neglect, Mona’s extradiction is illegal and should be challenged by our government.
