An alleged love rat was caught by his heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend, who claims that everything he told her during their annual relationship was a complete lie.
Cassandra Taulaki from the Gold Coast, Queensland, is now deeply sad and homeless after her partner, who used the fake name of 'Marcus Bennet', would have registered her to think he was a successful businessman.
The mother-of-one, who has to give birth within a few days, also said that Bennet claimed that he was childless but since then she has discovered that he reportedly conceived at least seven other children.
“You see things like this in films and documentaries and I couldn't believe this happened to me,” Mrs. Taulaki told Daily Mail Australia.
'I fell for a man who wasn't even real – he lied about everything, his name, his age, his job, his family, all his life.
'I was really deep and I am currently pregnant with our child. I have to go in a week.
'We had made plans for our future and our lives together, but it was a future that was built on the basis of all his lies and I had no idea who I really had to do with.
“He created a world of fake accounts and fake people – and did this to other women for years.”

Tongaans born Mrs. Taulaki thought she had met the man of her dreams when she started dating the Pacific Islander at the end of 2023.
The single mother was looking for love and the successful Jet-Setter seemed to check all the boxes.
In 2023, the long, dark and handsome engineer told her that he was in Australia before Christmas before he returned to his well-paid job in the Middle East.
“His name is clearly not Marcus,” Mrs. Taulaki revealed in reports on social media that cancel the lid on the alleged deception.
'He actually has many names – Paul, Pauly, Dartanian, Sam, Ryan, Dox, Antonio …
“He said he was 32 years old and was a civil engineer in Dubai and returned to Dubai in February 2024.”
Mrs. Taulaki said the lies were coming, from a fictional family to events in life that just never happened.
“He told me he had four brothers, all of whom are not real people,” she said.
“He told me he was in the Australian defense. It was credible, he had photos in his military uniform. '
He even photoshopped himself to make it look like he had twins
Taulaki sold everything she had to move to Dubai with her new husband and is now homeless and broke with a baby who appeared next week
Since then she has discovered that the convincing snaps were taken in costumes he hired.
By March 2024, her friend had delayed his return to Dubai to send more time together and Mrs. Taulaki says she paid the bill for everything.
“He had money when I met him, that's why I wasn't suspicious,” said Mrs. Taulaki.
'Then he should not have had any money and then he played a story about the ATO and his money tied in Dubai.
“That made sense to me, because that would usually happen if he was in the situation, he told me he was.”
By May the couple expected and Mrs. Taulaki said that it was when his alleged Con became even more complex.
She received messages on Facebook from a man she believed was his twin brother and offered congratulations for the fall of pregnant.
But later he contacted her again to ask money for a surprise birthday gift for 'Marcus'.
Mrs. Taulaki later discovered that there was no brother – and the fake account was set up by her friend with the help of edited photos of herself to look as if they were twins.
“He photoshop himself,” she said. “He is delusions.
She has shared her story in social media to expose his lies
“Who pretends to have a twin brother and Photoshops themselves in photos to look legitimate and send it to girls?”
In the conviction that they had a future together, Mrs. Taulaki sold everything she had to go to Dubai in October to start a new life.
“I am selling everything, I close my company and my plan is to go to new Zeeland and see my family and let them know that I am pregnant and that I have met a really great guy and we are building a life together and they will meet him at Christmas,” she explained.
'Marcus's parents had [supposedly] Bought an apartment on the Gold Coast and the plan is to go to Dubai for a few months and then come back to Australia and to go to this apartment that his parents bought for us and have the baby. '
But Mrs. Taulaki said that when she arrived in New -Zeeland, things started to unravel.
“There were a few red flags and I start thinking:” That's strange, “she admitted.
In Dubai, Taulaki became more suspicious after his story about a five-year work contract and Flash apartment 'not refilled'.
After some detective work online, she finally realized that his whole story was reportedly fake.
“I last spoke to him when I returned to Australia,” she said. “I pretended everything was fine and we still had a relationship.”
A few weeks later, Mrs. Taulaki went on social media and placed a series of videos of her now ex-boyfriend, swung to 'exposing' to what he had done
Within a few hours she was flooded with messages from a series of women who knew Marcus and told similar stories – including seven those mothers were for his children.

Her videos have since recorded millions of views with hundreds of supporting comments, so Mrs Taulaki launched a GoFundme who picked up almost $ 4000.
“I try to raise money so that I can move to my own place for my children and I, can provide our house and get my life back on the right track while navigating life with a new,” her plea was.
'I live in Australia, but I am a NZ burger, so I don't get support from the government after I got my baby. I am owed in just over a week.
“I had exhausted my funds by a man I had trusted and kept and thought I was building a future.
'I returned to Australia without home, no job and little money after fleeing the relationship in which I was. I don't have a family here and even appreciate a few dollars.
“I don't get creator funds on Tiktok and I can't earn money there, so why I made this to try to get some help so that I and my babies can have a stable house.”
Daily Mail Australia has approached Mrs. Taulaki for comment.
