A Ghanaian influencer has been extradited to the US for her alleged involvement in a romance scheme, swindling $2 million victims, officials announced.
A Ghanaian social media influencer 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 lonely hearts scam, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The scammers would then get the victims to transfer money to them under false pretenses — such as to help move gold to the US from overseas, to resolve bogus FBI investigations and payments to help fake US army officers in Afghanistan, court papers allege. In total, Montrage netted $2 million in funds the group ripped off from victims to bank accounts she had in The Bronx and elsewhere, including one opened in the name of 4Reall Designs, a supposed clothing company.
“Thanks to the efforts of our law enforcement partners, Montrage was arrested abroad and has been brought to the United States to face justice,” the statement continued.The scheme allegedly went on from at least 2013 through 2019.The social media influencer — who’s Instagram account was among the top ten most followed in Ghana –was arrested on Nov. 10, 2022 in the UK for the alleged conspiracy and brought to the US on Friday.
