This company is run by the same people associated with Geoffrey Hull/Red Carpet Motoring and David Van Patten/Luxotic Motoring (same guy)
*if you have been contacted by leaseplacer.com*
1. You are probably have a listing on Swapalease. FYI - subleasing a vehicle is illegal almost everywhere (ESPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THEY ARE BASED). Call Swapalease and tell them someone running an auto subleasing scam is using their site for leads. They should know better.
2. He probably told you your vehicle has 'negative equity' in these 'tough market environments.' Tell him you'd rather take it then any false positives from him.
3. He'll act like your best friend until he gets the car, after that - he's scammed you. Say goodbye to that fine German automobile cause it's being shipped to future wanna-be Pablo Escobars.
4. Disregard the website. It's a hoax like he is. They are illegally using logos from major news networks/channels ala Swapalease to make you think its a legit operation and that it's been "featured on TV." The only time these guys have been featured on TV is with this clip (here you go, take a look at the guy that's scamming you)

5. Delete his e-mail and follow point 5 below. (Most Important)
*guidelines to some resolution if you were scammed*
1. Revoke your limited power of attorney IMMEDIATELY.
2. Demand Geoffrey to return your vehicle - otherwise report the car as stolen/embezzled (see point 5 below). It's absolutely imperative that the vehicle be recovered. If you have Lojack, put that knowledge to use!
3. Please be advised that Geoffrey does not pick up any phone #'s. He won't pick up unless you're one of his mid-level goons/people that he sends cars to, or people he sends to pick up new cars.
4. File the amount you deserve (up to $5,000) in your state's small claims court and identify Geoffrey Hull/Red Carpet Motoring as the culprit. Any amount in excess of this, a civil lawsuit is necessary.
5. GOOD NEWS: There are plenty of the good guys looking for this THIEF (LAPD, FBI, etc to name a few). If you have any information or have been scammed (latter is likely) please call the lead investigator on this case:
George Zosimo
California DMV Investigations
(805) 207-5892
[email protected]. Gov
Or
Detective Lopez
Los Angeles Police Department - Auto Crimes
(310) 482-6351
I would forward you over to the FBI, Attorney General or Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force, but figure it's best to direct you to the man in charge. Any information is helpful - especially other people that Mr. Hull may have put in contact with you during this whole process.
6. Notify the attorney general. Try the Secret Service ECTF, FTC, BBB, LAPD, your local PD. Feel free to warm call them - they're job is partly to put away sleazebags like Geoffrey Hull.
7. Remind him he's a THIEF and that you will gladly testify at any trial set-up to prosecute him. People like these don't deserve to steal from other people's hard work and success.
And one last thing...
