Must be modding the game. No way a stern Spike should be needing attention like this being like brand new!    Reported him as well

Facebook is the absolute worst for doing anything about fake accounts, fraud, or anything else, it's so ridiculous. 

Hopefully the word is out and there are no more victims of this guy...

I know these things take time, but wow this is crazy.
I had filed reports at FTC.gov and other places.
Thank you all for your help.

* doesn't answer emails.
* doesn't pickup his phone.
* does not have voicemail.
* does not answer texts from noobs really interested in that machine "he has listed for sale".
* that noob is willing to send blind deposit to anywhere he asks me to.
* does not run on facebook marketplace, so no way to flag his "ads".
* has 601 page likes, which isn't even possible with a fake account. might have hacked another account.
* using a google voice forwarding service or a pure burner phone.

typical facebook marketplace user.  and just really terrible at whatever he is trying to accomplish here.

Thank you buddy. Ive done all I can as far as reporting. Fucking facebook.
His profile is still up. I guess all I can do is call the phone number and see if someone answers it, I can schedule a meet that I have some A-titles I want to sell cheap.

I reported twice but no luck obviously.  Let's face it, a picture of Marcel is just too good looking to take down ;-)

this is nice. main account page, and all sub links i had clicked a week ago are taken down.

i'll watch for his phone number to pop up in the future, unless he deletes it as a burner phone account.

edited:added fake phone number - 754 205-8364
