Instagram Influencer Allegedly Scammed ‘Older’ And ‘Vulnerable’ Americans Out of $2 Million in Romance Scheme
Social media can be deceiving.
Ghanian influencer Mona Faiz Montrage, 30, who the FBI says once had 3.6 million followers on Instagram under the profile “Hajia4Reall,” showcased an opulent lifestyle of traveling, shopping and life as a musician. The account is still up today (with 4.2 million followers); if it’s under her control, the most recent post was from seven days ago.
However, amid her overseas adventures and shopping sprees, the influencer was allegedly involved in a “romance scheme” that stole nearly $2 million from elderly Americans.
