Currently there is a federal case of wire fraud in the Federal Florida Middle Court

3107 SW 20th Ave. Cape Coral FL 33914.
Renting and destroying someone else’s hard earned property.

anyone know an address for him?

Does anyone have any updates on Mark of his case? I was recently scammed by him as well and would like to report it to anyone that can help. He's now operating under the Harris Group of America, Inc.

Mark Harris is a thief. A smart thief. He shields his calls after he disappears with your money. He then moved from Georgia to Florida. All his addresses are PO Boxes at UPS stores. Do yourself a favor and do a complete internet search of this guy. He is a crook. I wish he would send me the money he owes me. I have learned an important lesson about doing background checks on the people you do business with.

I was wondering who to talk to if you have been frauded by this couple?

Everyone is wanting to know where Mark Harris is. As of this morning he's still in Cape Coral. He made an appointment but didn't show up until and hour and a half after he was suppose to be here. He only showed up to see if I really knew who he was. I called and let him know I knew what he was up to but I tricked him into thinking I was thinking his dog was here. It looks like he worked out a deal with the feds to stay out of jail if he helped them do their dirty work which is harass anyone who knows anything about the fact that the FBI has been covering up for the biggest drug king pins in the world which are definitely tied in with police departments all over this country. In this case it's Sheriff Mike Scott who's been linked to Richard (Dick) Spence of the Cali cartel. Spence spent years in prison in NY for kidnapping and money laundering for the cartel before moving to Alva Florida to help Sheriff Scott run the drug and human trafficking business here in SW Florida. Charlie Crist made sure the investigation conducted in 2009 about Scott's relationship with Spence went nowhere. That's because Charlie Crist was also a good friend of Richard Spence and Spence also helped with Crist's election as Governor. That's why Charlie Crist acted like he was going to die if he didn't get back into the Governor's office last year. We have been helping to lead the way in reopening the investigation so that's why they sent Mark in to screw with us. He uses a phone # with the name Yuppy Puppy which is the name of our largest competitor in town. Obviously they thought we would think he was with the Yuppy Puppy here and hoped we would pick up the phone and blast out the wrong person. Sorry, you guys at the FBI lost again. And for all you who are wondering why Mark's not in jail, now you know. They let people like Mark Harris off the hook in exchange for doing their dirty work and in the mean time they keep you thinking they are helping you and looking for him. Obviously they're not. The FBI has been covering for Sheriff Mike Scott and dirty police all over this country since J. Edgar Hoover started the FBI. As we all know J. Edgar Hoover was the biggest crook of all. He thrived by his criminal activities and association and did so by blackmail and cover ups. I wish I could tell you more because there is certainly a lot more to tell, but for now I can't. BTW, Mark is still using the phone # [protected] and Holly is using #[protected]. They claim they have 10 dogs now. GOD I HOPE THAT'S A LIE TOO! Mark is driving a black Mercedes SUV with a dealer plate.
Google Sheriff Mike Scott Spence and you will see all the articles about their association on FOX News, Wink News, News-Press, Naples News, etc. It's very informative reading. Photos are of Richard Spence and Scott. Spence wouldn't let anyone photograph his entire face.

Mark Harris can be reached at the Yuppy Puppy LLC (no joke). The address is S Osprey Ave, Sarasota, FL 34239. The phone number [protected]. He just contacted me and left this number to call him back. www.yuppypuppysrq.com. I called the number and he did answer. Unfortunately, I have two brokers who are trying to find him to recover $25K that he took from them and then vanished without a trace after the wire hit his account. Mark was unaware the brokers worked for me when he called.

We got ripped off for 30K as well. I am happy to tell anyone or any law enforcement agency. Ours was out of state so I believe that is wire fraud.

How is this guy not in jail? Our law enforcement is a joke. He just ripped us off for $30k. If anybody knows anything about this guy, please reach our to us. We are getting the runaround from every detective we talk to. So apparently its ok to rip people off for less than $50k. This guy is the worst of the worst.

Sorry, the arrest date in Lee County was actually APRIL 26, 2014. So, in all likelihood, HE IS LIVING IN THE FORT MYERS AREA NOW!

He got arrested in Lee County, Florida in late April, 2013. Here is the link to the Lee County Sheriff's Office with a picture of his mug shot: http://www.sheriffleefl.org/main/index.php?r=crimeActivity/inmateDetail&id=304368948071426 . Apparently, his wife, Holly, also filed a restraining order against him a few days later also in Lee County, Florida but she dropped it about a week later. His address as listed in his mug shot is 2518 SW 27th Terrace, Cape Coral, FL 33914. He is driving a 2010 White Land Rover also. Good luck catching this guy and finally putting him in jail.

Mark and Holly Harris

I wish I had seen this post earlier in the year, I could have told you where he was living...I inherited him as a tenant and had to evict him and his wife. Here's a photo so everyone knows who he and Holly look like. When he was evicted, his wife was not on lease, nor the dogs. You can see in the photo they were both evicted. Cost my client $6k in damages and $3k lost rents. Why is she crying during the eviction? Because her daughter was hurt when a bed was supposedly dropped on her by accident. Notice the puppy, crying wife, and hurt daughter...makes one feel sympathy during an eviction. Don't be fooled! Why was the wife even there? She's not on lease. Why the puppy? Not on lease. Why the kids? Not on the application and shouldn't they be in school or at least with a babysitter or playing in the pool while mommy and daddy move their furniture? (let alone being EVICTED?!?) I guess the 2 months of eviction process time was not enough time for him to get out! Or at least find a babysitter! But that's not his Mode of Operation...he wanted the kids there to get hurt. Probably to collect insurance money from the moving company (another scam, but using the poor girl's health!). Notice how he is not crying or even slightly emotional? This individual is very sick, putting his family in danger and humiliation with an eviction, not feeling any remorse. He's sick, crafty, and a scam artist. Also be warned, his wife, Holly is a nasty volatile woman that's perfectly matched with Mark.

Unfortunately this is but a fraction of what I hear. Often time attorneys and clients call my company and start threatening me when in fact we are two separate companies. I do not have any evidence or proof regarding allegations on this board, however might i suggest you look into my company www.BDexchange.com unlike some of these other guys we don't take money. We use a 3rd party securities law firm over several areas of the country to hold all funds until such time as an escrow break letter is signed by all parties. We use Nummi and Associates in Tampa Florida. Rick Nummi was an SEC enforcement attorney for 10 years. We use McCormick and Obrien in New York City. They are well known defenders of Brokers and Broker dealers against arbitration and regulatory bodies. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 407-371-0921and might I suggest that if indeed you choose to do business with any of these companies that you simply demand a 3rd party law firm be used. In fact some of the law firms I listed would have no problem assisting you. On a side note, I'm a little sad to see Holly Korth post above me. Holly and her firm have been a client of mine for many years and I wish they had come to me . Im going to call them up and lecture them! LOL

Mark Harris stole a $20k deposit we made with him in 2011. For two years he has not answered any of our calls or emails. Please call [protected] if you are any attorney or a criminal investigator so you can add us to the complaint/case. He told us the funds were in escrow and it was a flat out LIE.

Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up. I was about to work with this Mark Harris guy to acquire one of his B/D for my private equity firm client. Saved me from ruining my reputation. I read about the fraud lawsuit filed in Rhode Island by Laborio. Crooks like these always make it worse for everyone else.

I had two different PI's try to locate them and they both failed. How certain are you of this information? I would like to go after Mark and Holly. Knowing what you know what is the best way someone can go after them?

He appears to be living at 3759 Beneva Oaks Blvd., Sarasota, 34238. It looks like he is renting a house which is listed for short-sale. His wife appears to work at 1990 Main St., , Suite 750, Sarasota, FL 34236 which is the Regus Executive Suites. The company that she owns and works for at that address is called Beau Monde Menage, Inc. It was formed in 2011 and involuntarily dissolved by the State of Florida fairly recently. Good luck!

We have just been burned by Mark as well. He took a deposit about 2 months ago and he was communicative for the first couple weeks, but has since disappeared and has not returned a call or sent our money back despite our many requests. Based on what I am reading above, it doesn't sound like we will be getting our deposit back. If any of you are willing it would be nice to speak regarding your experience. I would like to know if the "company for sale" is the same in any instance and if they are complicit in any way.

I may have just become a new victim of Mark Harris. Oh my god..I should have seen this site before. I am scared. He may be walking away with my life savings. He has not returned my call after the deposit in 3 days.

I can confirm as of today 3-1-11, that Mark Harris case has been turned over to the US States Attorney Office in Florida. This is a major step in a direction to Harris getting his funds frozen and arrested with the feds.

MARK HARRIS IS A CROOK

Mark Harris and Broker Dealer Market are crooks, he owes me a ton of money and hides like a thief in the night. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM OR HIS COMPANY. This man belongs in jail. If he only paid the people he stole money from, people would not be writing complaints against him on this board. He is a crook and I hope he goes to jail soon. It where he belongs!

I will not rest until someone arrests this guy and he goes to jail.

If you are looking to file a complaint against Mark Harris or if you are simply looking fro information about doing business with him, please call the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department and ask for the Economic Crimes Unit (they know who Mark Harris is and his current location).

This is obviously a SLANDEROUS REPORT. I have personally known Mark Harris for years and have also done business with him through his company. I can't believe "anyone" can just post anything they want under this website without having the other parties' response. The person's name who orriginated this post is ED LABORIO. In his post, after he tries to discredit Mark Harris and Broker Dealer Market and slanders him and his company, he then states that " anyone looking to buy a BD should try another reputible company", and lists HIS OWN COMPANY following. (IFI Exchange) ED LABORIO is trying to compete with BDM and even copied Broker Dealer Market's website "verbatim" (and...mistakenly forgotten to take out Broker Dealer Markets name in numberous places.) FYI for an interesting read, please google ED LABORIO and ENVIT CAPITAL in Boston MA, which was shut down by the SEC. It is terrible that one man can try to damage someone else's reputation to capitalize on his own business with trying to compete with a reputable firm.

Mark Harris is someone you should not do business with. He works with his wife who i believe is also untrustworthy. They have both lied to me on numerous occasions and have not returned money. I have been trying to locate him for the last couple of years. I think he is in hiding. Does anyone know how I can contact him? I am starting to think he is in Jail.

Mark Harris has been stealing money for years. Do NOT do business with him. He is a thief.

Mark Harris has recently done this again and seems to have gone underground. There are some very angry people who have been taken in by his slick marketing. I very much hope he goes to jail.
