Mark is slang for target; "That mark is going to have a hard time when we are done scamming him."

So back in the days of traveling carnivals what the carnival company would do is have the person who handles admissions sit in a booth well above the customers. This person could easily see how much money the customer had when they opened their wallet. When they would notice a person with a lot of money they would indicate to another employee in the crowd who would then mark the person jacket with chalk. The other employees inside the carnival knew to target the people with a "mark".

A 'mark' is the target or a sucker in another context, as their disposition would make them an approptiate target. It is common for a criminals to use this term, which lead to it filtering into colloqialism.
It's also used in sports, where one has to 'mark' another player, obstructing them.
