Lots of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days fans suspect that Mahogany Roca is an actress planted by producers, but viewers from her home country of Peru are disagreeing. Mahogany connected with 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 cast member Ben Rathbun online. The 52-year-old Michigan man said he felt an intense connection with the Peruvian woman, whom he believes is 24 years old. However, Mahogany would never video chat with Ben because she was "shy," causing many viewers to assume that she was a catfish.

Despite never having video chatted with Mahogany, Ben bought a ticket to Peru to meet her. When he was in the airport and about to board the plane, Mahogany told him not to come after all. She said her father doubted his intentions. Despite this, Ben flew to Lima, Peru, but Mahogany didn't show up at their meeting spot or text him back. Ben traveled to her city of San Bartolo and invited her to meet him at a restaurant. When Mahogany showed up at the restaurant, fans were shocked that she wasn't a catfish, but they still had their doubts that she was who she claimed to be.

Fans noted that Mahogany looked different in person than she did in the pictures that she had been sending Ben. Aside from noting that her social media photos may have been “doctored," Ben seemed unphased. He even told Mahogany that he loved her several times upon seeing her face to face, although she did not reciprocate this sentiment. She seemed quite uncomfortable during the meeting, which made fans raise their eyebrows. In addition to thinking that she was an actress because of the way she talked, many viewers also suspected that she was not even Peruvian.
