CALL Florida Pet Recovery - Trey Larson 813-434-6584. Trey will travel throughout all of Florida to help bring lost pets back home.

Highly recommend him if you have a lost pet.

Call ASAP, if he does not answer he will get back to you, he maybe out running his drone. He will call you back.

In the meantime GET YOUR SIGNS UP, NOT FLYERS... examples in comment lines.

FOR A DOG:

*ASAP... PLEASE READ: The following tips are what I, trappers & FAA part 107a licensed thermal drone pilots that do pet recovery suggest...

*POST LARGE, PUSH IN THE GROUND CORRUGATED SIGNS IN THE AREA ASAP, DO NOT WAIT OR DEPEND JUST ON FLYERS & SOCIAL MEDIA. SIGNS SHOULD BE LARGE, BRIGHT!

*SIGNS ARE VITAL FOR SIGHTINGS... PEOPLE NEED A LARGE VISUAL WITH A PICTURE, IT HELPS TO IDENTIFY A PET AS LOST AND CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE IN A QUICK NOTIFICATION VERSES A DELAYED ONE OR NONE AT ALL.

*Place signs at all intersections, up & down streets, entrances to subdivisions in the area where the dog was last seen or lost from. Plaster the area with signs in a mile radius in ALL directions. If the dog is seen outside the original area posted in, move or add signs in that area.

*Posting only a single sign in front of your home is pointless if the dog is further away from your home. GET THE WORD OUT THERE THAT THERE IS A LOST DOG IN THE AREA.

*CORRUGATED PLACTIC SIGNS WITH THE “H” STAND: Available at Lowe’s, Home Depot and if you need more of a quantity later buy them online through Amazon. Buy the larger sizes 24 x36 or 32x48. Plastic 30x20 sheets found at the dollar store can be used also.

*INCLUDE ON ALL FLYERS, SIGNS/POSTERS:

*LOST DOG across the top

*CONTACT INFORMATION at the bottom, 2 phone numbers are best.

*LOCATION LOST FROM OR LAST SEEN IN

*DESCRIPTION, SKITTISH/DO NOT CHASE OR CALL OUT TO, MICROCHIPPED

*PICTURE encased in a plastic report cover or large zip lock bag, use waterproof tape to seal and attach to signs/posters. (When attaching, turn the cover upside down/at the bottom before tapping. Walgreens can make a stack of pictures that have stiffer paper that is coated. SIGNS SAVE LIVES!
............................................................................................................
FOR A CAT:

POST LARGE SIGNS IN THE AREA ASAP, DO NOT WAIT – do not depend just on flyers.

*PUSH IN THE GROUND, LARGE CORRUGATED PLASTIC SIGNS ARE VITAL FOR SIGHTINGS...

SIGNS HELP BRING PETS HOME FASTER.

PEOPLE NEED A LARGE VISUAL WITH A PICTURE, IT HELPS TO IDENTIFY A PET AS LOST AND CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE IN A QUICK NOTIFICATION VERSES A DELAYED ONE OR NONE AT ALL.

Place signs at all intersections, up & down streets, entrances to subdivisions in the area where the cat was last seen or lost from. Plaster the area with signs, if the cat is seen outside the original area posted in move or add signs in that area... posting only a single sign in front of your home is pointless if the cat is further away from your home. GET THE WORD OUT THERE THAT THERE IS A LOST CAT IN THE AREA.

**WHAT WE WARN PET OWNERS WITH LOST PETS:


SCAMMER AWARENESS, NEVER DO THE FOLLOWING:

*DO NOT pre-pay for any services ahead of time, a LEGIT thermal drone operator will collect payment IN PERSON OR AFTER the service and will ALWAYS meet with you in person, when the drone goes up. There are ONLY 7 legit, verified FAA/107 thermal drone pilots that can aid finding pets in the state of Florida. Legit FAA/107a thermal drone pilots can be verified on the FAA site. https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/

.
*Scammers claim they will send the drone up from their location, this cannot be done. They may even claim they spotted the pet from their location and trappers will be out to retrieve the pet the next day and bring it to you.... this is a SCAM.

*DO NOT book a search online.

*DO NOT do any communication through a telegram. Scammers are contacting owners on RING and recommend a service. DO NOT PREPAY for a service unless you are face to face with the LEGIT thermal drone pilot.

*DO NOT pay for a service if they request you to use gift cards.

*DO NOT PAY USING PAYPAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY ONLINE, ASK TO USE GOODS AND SERVICES AS PER THE FBI FRAUD DIVISION. Using Goods & Services you stand a better chance of recouping your money back.

*DO NOT text a code back to someone that says they have your pet or interact with people claiming to have your pet but demand money upfront even for pictures or information.

*NO, your pet CANNOT be tracked using GPS if microchipped. Scammers claim you can, this is NOT true.

*Be careful offering a reward. DO NOT hand a reward over until the pet is safely in your arms. If unsure you can meet the finder in a public place, in front of a police substation and ask an officer to be present.


SOMEONE MAY CONTACT YOU EITHER IN A TEXT, PM OR CALL STATING THEY HAVE YOUR PET BUT WANT YOU TO SEND THE MONEY FIRST... DO NOT DO THIS, EVER.... SCAM!!!!

*IF SOMEONE CONTACTS YOU CLAIMING TO BE FROM A SHELTER, RESCUE, VET OFFICE AND THEY TELL YOU YOUR PET WAS FOUND, INJURED AND NEEDS LIFE SAVING SURGERY BUT DEMANDS MONEY RIGHT AWAY, THEY REQUEST MONEY SENT THROUGH ZELLE, CASH APP...DO NOT DO THIS, DO NOT PAY. INSTEAD LOOK UP THE VALID PHONE NUMBER FOR THE SHELTER, RESCUE, VET OFFICE AND CALL THEM TO VERIFY THEY HAVE YOUR PET, MOST WILL CONTACT YOU AND HAVE YOU COME TO THEIR FACILITY TO ID YOUR PET AND DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS IN PERSON IF YOUR PET IS INDEED THERE.

Thermal drone tracking is another tool to help you locate your lost pet. It works by locating the body heat/shape of the animal. It can pinpoint the area a pet is in, it is helpful if the pet is injured or stuck in an area and cannot get back out without help.

Thermal Drone Pilots I recommend, I know them personally...
I highly recommend Florida Pet Recovery - Trey Larson 813-434-6584. Trey, is truly dedicated to finding lost pets all over the state of Florida. His flight count and recovery numbers of lost pets successfully found and brought to safety is outstanding.

To learn more about Trey and Florida Pet Recovery go to https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571431636906
& https://www.floridagamerecovery.com/ Check out his reviews and videos of recoveries!!!

PLEASE NOTE: IF THE NAME IS NOT ON THE FOLLOWING SITE AND MAP, THEY ARE LIKELY A SCAMMER. DO NOT GET SCAMMED!!!
The following link will take you directly to a page of legit/verified thermal drone search/rescue operators in the USA. The site is called Drone Animal Rescue @ https://www.droneanimalrescue.com/ created by Zachary Tyler Dzurinda, owner of Vantage Point, thermal drone search/rescue out of Ohio.
You can verify a legit FAA/107 thermal drone operator's license here https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/ (ask for their license information, scammers will not have this, and they often try to use fake certificates from the IRS to try to fool you)
SCAMMER ALERT, NEVER DO THE FOLLOWING:
*DO NOT pre-pay for any services ahead of time
*DO NOT book a search online. A LEGIT thermal drone operator will collect payment AFTER the service and meet with you in person. There are ONLY 7 legit, verified FAA/107 thermal drone pilots that can aid finding pets in the state of Florida.
*DO NOT do any communication through a telegram. Scammers are contacting owners on RING and recommend a service. DO NOT PREPAY for a service unless you are face to face with the LEGIT thermal drone pilot.

*Be careful offering a reward. DO NOT hand a reward over until the pet is safely in your arms. If unsure you can meet the finder in a public place, in front of a police substation and ask an officer to be present.
How to report an internet scam even if originated by on Facebook.
When filing, keep a screen shot of the pm interaction, the name and https link of the "sellers" Facebook profile, page and if they run a Facebook group, be sure to have the https link to that also. Keep details of how you paid, how the money was sent and how much. In some cases, you can track through your bank where the money was sent to, call your bank, provide that information as well when filing a complaint. The more details the better.
The more people that have been scammed that report the better, power in numbers.
The FBI and the IC3 are well aware of the issues on Facebook, watching scammers from outside the USA, they are also aware of issues of scammers that originate out of Nigeria, Cameroon and elsewhere. Hopefully if enough complaints are filed the time may come that these agencies approach Facebook with the offenders that scam and ideally those people will be removed from Facebook. Changes need to happen to keep these people off groups and Facebook.
One tip the IC3 Cyper Division advisor mentioned was to avoid some of the methods of payment that typically are not refundable or protect you or enable you to receive a refund if the birds do not arrive.
PayPal - avoid using friends & family option, you may not be able to get a refund easily if at all, instead they suggest you use the Goods & Service option - you will be asked to pay a small fee which is right around $2 but it is like an protection/insurance policy that helps get you a refund if you do not receive the services, product, in this case bird/birds you paid for and were supposed to receive. Do not allow the money to be wired directly to the seller from your account.
Even if you cannot get your money back, file a complaint.
1. Call the FBI (FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION) main number 1 - 800 CALL FBI (National Threat Operations Center - NTOC, open 24/7) and pick option 3 to talk directly to a person to file a complaint. For financial loss they offer the help of a case manager for those over the age of 60.
2. You can also call your local FBI office, most states have several locations, file a complaint with them. Pick Option 3 when calling.
3. Call the Internet Crime Complaint Center - IC3 Cyber Division - 833-372-8311 to file a complaint.
4. File an IC3 complaint online using the online form
5. Call and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission 877-382-4357
6. Another place to files is with the BBB, Better Business Bureau.
