Hello, I´ve order a new 15 PM, but before oponed it I saw that the serial number starts with an F, which allegedly means it is refurbished. Should I return it as I bought a brand new or The F doesn´t means anything?

Apple now randomizes serial numbers so it’s no longer possible to decode them anymore. You can look at model number. If it starts with M then it’s brand new. Refurbished starts with N
