It's very unlikely that Paypal will help... people are circumventing their system, by using F&F to pay for goods that you aren't supposed to be buying (or more like people are not supposed to be accepting payment for). I wouldn't be surprised under their new policies if they suspend a bunch of accounts for people involved here.
They started to clamp down on PP and Venmo F&F payments about 2 months ago, and accounts get flagged when payments exceeding a certain amount are received daily.
Looks like people are still coming out of the woodwork here, and the total is constantly going up daily. Its obvious that this was a scam at this point, and I am done tryign to give Mark the benefit of the doubt here.
I hope everyone can get made whole. Good luck.

I'm organizing a group chat on FB for all of us ripped off by Mark. Will be a little easier to communicate that way and talk through what we all can do here. Add if you'd like to be a part and I'll get you added to the group chat: [url=http://facebook.com/kylewillis]http://facebook.com/kylewillis[/url]

PayPal told me that there was nothing they will do. A gift to him so they are out of it.

From what I can find out he has been responding to people that PP has flagged his account for excess F&F transactions and suspended it. Nothing else that I can do from here.

Wade, just a note that Paypal will not suspended your account for excessive F&F transactions. If you exceed a certain point in their algorithms, they convert your account to a business account and will only allow you to accept regular goods and services transactions. So you lose the ability to do F&F, but you still have access to dollars and can process regular transactions.

I responded to Cigarlover888 aka Mark Decarlo add on a on the 3rd for a sealed box of opus number 2 and a sealed box of opus double robusto. we then agreed to 1k for them and I sent payment. I paid later on that evening using paypal F&F. then on the 6th he sent me a tracking number. he sent tracking number 9405803699300647944088. On the 9th I messaged him on here about the location of the package and also the two new boxes of opus that he put up which was a XXX and a 77 shark. He also offered me a 20th anniversary power of the dream for a total of 1840. I then went and asked if he would take 1800 for it. He sent me back a message agreeing to the price and "Printed and packed wed, got to post.office Thursday late, would think should have on west coast by monday or tuesday." I then proceeded to ask him if he could double check that he sent me the right tracking number and he has gone missing and unresponsive since. does anyone know his phone number or address so I can track this guy down easier. I don't know how to post pics here but if anyone would like evidence I am willing to send it through email. REWARD OFFERED to anyone who can get me information on him.
