Romance Scammer Sentenced After 10-Year Scheme | Phoenix News

Dada Joe Remix, a Ghanaian scammer operating under the alias Joseph Kwadwo Badu Boateng, just pleaded guilty to a massive 10-year romance scam that ripped off older Americans across the country — all while posing as a loving partner and promising access to a fortune in gold and jewels. Arrested in Ghana in May 2025 and extradited to the U.S. in June, he’s now agreeing to pay back $4.4 million in restitution, with sentencing set for September 8. This high-stakes, cross-border fraud serves as a chilling warning to anyone tempted to exploit love and trust for financial gain.
