Exotic Rides 4 U - exoticrides4u.com A.k.a. Max Rasmussen Running Scam Illegal Vehicle Subleasing Operation Sacramento California
I RESPONDED TO MAX RASMUSSEN'S AD ON CRAIGSLIST IN SACRAMENTO OFFERING TO HELP ME TO GET OUT OF OUR CURRENT AUTO LOAN PAYMENT WHICH, AS A STAY-AT-HOME MOTHER OF 3, HAS BECOME TOO DIFFICULT TO AFFORD FOR US ON ONLY MY HUSBAND'S INCOME. WE CAN ONLY AFFORD TO KEEP OUR MINIVAN.
I WAS GOING TO GIVE MY CAR TO HIM UNTIL I FOUND OUT THAT NOT ONLY IS MAX RUNNING AN UNLICENSED AND ILLEGITIMATE SCAM WITH NO PHYSICAL ADDRESS (WHO WOULD GIVE THEIR CAR TO ANYONE OR ENTITY WITHOUT AN OFFICE OR PHYSICAL ADDRESS?!?!) BUT WORSE, MAX RASMUSSEN IS RUNNING AN ILLEGAL SUBLEASING OPERATION IN VIOLATION OF CA PENAL CODE SECTIONS 570-574 (UNLAWFUL SUBLEASING OF VEHICLES). IN ADDITION ALL OF HIS CONTRACTS ARE IN VIOLATION OF ALL ORIGINAL VEHICLE LOAN AND LEASE COMPANY CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS WHICH PROHIBIT AN ORIGINAL OWNER AND LESSEE FROM SUBLEASING A FINANCED VEHICLE AND WILL CAUSE A FINANCE COMPANY TO CONSIDER AN ORIGINAL OWNER AND LESSEE IN BREACH OF THEIR ORIGINAL FINANCE CONTRACT AND AGREEMENT:
An act of unlawful subleasing of a motor vehicle in violation of the CA Penal Code shall be punishable by imprisonment in the state prison or in the county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.
I URGE ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY EXOTIC RIDES 4 U OR MAX RASMUSSEN TO IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AND REPORT TO:
CA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES INVESTIGATIONS OFFICE DIRECTLY AT (916) 229-0167 or (916) 229-0168. THE D.M.V. IS ACTIVELY PURSUING MAX RAMUSSEN AND HIS SCAM ILLEGAL SUBLEASING OPERATION AND THERE IS A REWARD OFFERED FOR HIS ARREST.
Everyone at Exotic Rides 4 U who is engaged in this criminal enterprise is an accomplice and shall be prosecuted by CA law enforcement as well as by the Feds under the RICO Act.
MAX RASMUSSEN HAS RIPPED-OFF SEVERAL INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DIFFICULT FINANCIAL SITUATIONS LIKE MYSELF WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND HAS SCAMMED THEM OUT OF THEIR CARS WHICH IS UNCONSCIONABLE AND DESPICABLE.
DO NOT GIVE YOUR VEHICLE TO MAX RASMUSSEN. THERE IS NO PAYMENT GUARANTEE. ONCE HE SCAMS YOU OF YOUR VEHICLE HE WILL GIVE IT TO EITHER A DRUG DEALER, PROSTITUTE OR OTHER DEGENERATE PERSON WITH NEGATIVE CREDIT WHO WILL DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, NOT MAKE THE PAYMENTS (WHICH MAX WILL NOT GUARANTEE OR PAY), NOT INSURE THE VEHICLE AND WORST OF ALL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHICH YOU WILL BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR. THEIR CONTRACTS AND LIABILITY RELEASES ARE FRAUDULENT, ILLEGAL AND DESIGNED TO TRICK AN UNSUSPECTING OWNER TO GIVE THEIR VEHICLE TO THEM WHICH IS EMBEZZLEMENT AND GRAND THEFT AUTO.

I have nothing to do with this. I am located in portland Oregon and i have just read all these posts and all the other ones. the person writing in all caps claims they own/owned a bentley coupe. By the way they write in all caps discredits them substantially.
I would do due diligence if i were you. even contact the FBI ask for a field agent investigating sub-leasing(of the company) ask if there are any pending litigation complaints. if not ALL CAPS is defaming the companies name and is causing them loss of business, your business, which they can be sued for. Im getting off the point. DUE DILIGENCE.

I recently contacted by Max about sub leasing my car. It sounded like a reasonable way to help me keep the car from being repossessed. I am concerned though after reading this report that I may not want to go through with this if it is truly illegal but it seems now that there is contradiction if this is a scam or real business. I called the numbers that J.G. posted and the DMV has no record of an investigation and the Detectives number just goes to Nextel Voicemail.
Could someone please help me in getting more information on this scam?
Thanks for your Help,
Jeff

FIRSTLY, GO TO FINDLAW AND RESEARCH THE LAWS AGAINST ILLEGAL VEHICLE SUBLEASING. ALL MAJOR STATES INCLUDING CA, AZ, NV, NY, FL, ETC. HAVE LAWS THAT MAKE IT A CRIME TO SUBLEASE VEHICLES WITHOUT THE FINANCE COMPANY'S APPROVAL. FURTHERMORE, IT IS A CLEAR VIOLATION AND BREACH OF THE TERMS OF THEIR FINANCING AGREEMENT FOR ANY ORIGINAL OWNER OR LESSEE TO SUBLEASE THEIR VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FINANCE COMPANY'S APPROVAL IN ALL STATES. BESIDES, WHY IS WWW.EXOTICRIDES4U.COM ADMITTEDLY OPERATING A SCAM SUBLEASE BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA THAT MAKES IT ILLEGAL?!?
SECONDLY, KARL SHELDON OF EMERYVILLE IS THE LEGAL OWNER OF WWW.EXOTICRIDES4U.COM AND SO IF HE IS NOT THEN WHY DOESN'T THE REAL SCAM OWNER PUBLISH HIS NAME, HOME ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER SO THAT THE CA D.M.V. INVESTIGATORS AND ALL OF THE INNOCENT PEOPLE HE SCAMMED OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES CAN FILE A LAWSUIT AND CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST HIM. IF HE IS RUNNING A "PROFESSIONAL AND LEGAL BUSINESS" THEN HE WON'T MIND ANSWERING AND EXPLAINING HIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.
THIRDLY, YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT REDNECK LIVING IN THE STICKS TO THINK YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LAW AND STILL DO BUSINESS WITH WWW.EXOTICRIDES4U.COM OR YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS FEEBLY ATTEMPTING TO JUSTIFY AND SAVE YOUR SCAM "NEW CONCEPT" a*s THROUGH A FRAUDULENT POST AS "MICHAEL". PATHETIC! GET A REAL JOB INSTEAD OF SCAMMING AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AND PREYING ON INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES. DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE ABLE TO SCAM SOME DESPERATE OWNERS TO GIVE YOU THEIR FLASH RIDES YOU WERE GOING TO GET A WAY WITH IT?!? SHAME ON YOU!
THANKS TO THE RIPOFF REPORT FOR SAVING INNOCENT CONSUMERS ONCE AGAIN FROM ANOTHER SCAM - WWW.EXOTICRIDES4U.COM!!

First of all, stop writing in all caps.
Second of all, the law regarding sub-leasing is only applicable in California, and is completely legal in other states.
Furthermore, you shouldn't be listing invalid numbers of fictitious law enforcement; nor should you be making allegations about a persons character.
I have dealt with this company and they are professional and legal.
If you have a discrepancy with your contact, you should be mature enough to take it up with them, and not file false reports on the internet.
On a final note, I have personally followed up with your claims, and none of your statements are true: the state, nor the DMV has any record of warrant, reward, or intent to prosecute this company.
Even if you were going to file something on this website, you should do your homework and find out who the owner is; and it is not Max.

EXOTIC RIDES 4 U MAX RASMUSSEN AND/OR KARL SHELDON CHANGE WEBSITE IN ORDER TO HIDE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE RUNNING SCAM ILLEGAL SUBLEASING OPERATION

THESE SCAMMERS MUST BE ILLITERATE BECAUSE IF THEY COULD READ, THEY WOULD KNOW EVERY SINGLE AUTOMOBILE LEASING OR LOAN FINANCE AGREEMENT SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS AN ORIGINAL LESSEE/OWNER FROM SUBLEASING OR ASSIGNING ANY INTEREST IN THEIR VEHICLE TO A THIRD PARTY UNLESS THEY ARE APPROVED BY THE FINANCE COMPANY!
THAT IS WHY THE CA LEGISLATURE PASSED CA PENAL CODE SECTIONS 570-574 (UNLAWFUL SUBLEASING OF VEHICLES) SO THAT SCAMMERS LIKE EXOTIC RIDES 4 U MAX RASMUSSEN KARL SHELDON WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EMBEZZLE AND STEAL FINANCED VEHICLES FROM INNOCENT CONSUMERS.
I URGE ANYONE WHO EITHER HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY OR HAS A PLACED A VEHICLE WITH EXOTIC RIDES 4 U MAX RASMUSSEN KARL SHELDON TO CONTACT THE SACRAMENTO CA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES INVESTIGATIONS OFFICE DIRECTLY AT (916) 229-0167 or (916) 229-0168.
THE D.M.V. IS ACTIVELY PURSUING MAX RAMUSSEN KARL SHELDON AND THIS SCAM ILLEGAL SUBLEASING OPERATION AND THERE IS A REWARD OFFERED FOR THEIR ARREST.
DETECTIVE GEORGE ZOSIMO WHO IS LEADING THE STATE-WIDE ILLEGAL SUBLEASING INVESTIGATION CAN BE REACHED DIRECTLY AT (818) 266-9988.
THERE "BUSINESS" IS A SCAM, THEIR WEBSITE IS A SCAM, THEY DO NOT HAVE ONE VEHICLE LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE AND MAX RASMUSSEN KARL SHELDON ARE BOTH SCAMMERS!
AVOID THE MISTAKE AND SAVE YOUR VEHICLE AND CREDIT!!

You claim that Max is ripping you off and has no address... did you read the contract?
This is a legitimate business, and is not illegal unless you signed a contract with your financing company that implies no subleasing.
