While October was a super low month almost crashing the M30 and having to wait almost 3 weeks for repair. We start off November super strong. With some advice to the owner on tips to draw them to to being just a good luck charm this little guy is back home safe tonight!

It would not have happened if the neighbors did not share our information with the owner. Thank you to everyone who shares our information it means so much to us and the pet owners.

It's very rare I am up before the sun rise due to how late I work most days. I am currently in Cleveland for work and got up just in time. I should be back this evening and available for searches.

It was a super late night last night. We were out until 3am assisting cherokee fire department on the missing person near bowling green park. As of this morning he has been found safe.

I am happy to announce that our M30T is back from California and ready for action.

10/15/2024

The M30T is back on its way from California! About 200 dollars worth of damage but we should be back up and running this weekend!

10/09/2024

UPDATE: He has been found safe!

The timing could not be worse to have our equipment out of action as many have tagged us and messaged us asking if we can help. So if you have any information the emergency line is who you need to call.

I know the Cherokee fire department has the same equipment we run and I know will be available. Or If they are down a pilot I am registered as a volunteer with them and could run the equipment if necessary, the fire chief has my number.

The Ol M30T has been packed up and shipped back to DJI for a full overhaul and assessment. I hope to only be down a week or 2 while it gets turned around. Unfortunately we will not be available for searches until the equipment comes back.

What a crazy night. While out on a search 10 minutes into my 2nd pack my drone tells me battery level critical forced landing. Meanwhile both of my packs are at 60+% charge! I try and land in the closest opening but on the way to the field I lose video. I thought it my mind well this drone is 60+ feet in a tree. As I get closer to the landing spot my controller reconnects and I see video. The drone is hovering 1ft above the ground with the spot light on. It narrowly avoided every tree on the way down!

Needless to say I will be sending the drone off to DJI to be inspected so I will be down for a few days to a week.

So it seems Verizon is having an outage so I am only available via messenger.

Another fake page, if you have a minute to report the page hopefully we can get it taken down.

Facebooks AI is absolute garbage. I woke up to my page almost being taken down for reposting a Tik Tok video for "impersonating a business"! I am the business, it's my content! Yet when people report actual impersonations nothing happens.

As a reminder local lost pet pages are significantly more effective than "national organizations" like pawboost, that try and get you to use the paid option.

It's only a theory but I absolutely believe their is a bot watching pawboot postings skimming contact information and using that to steal from people. It always seems like searches that are only posted locally don't get many scam calls vs the ones using "national" databases. That's just my 2 cents however in the comments in an article about how paw boost got its start and operates.

Great Update! Simba the missing German Shepard has been returned home.

08/29/2024

Boy have the last few weeks been crazy. 2 weeks almost back to back in California then shortly after I arrive back home we are called out for 2 long haul searches. One up in blue ridge and the other in Chickamunga.

The German Shepard in blue ridge unfortunately is still on the loose.

Sadly the beagle in Chickamunga did not have a good outcome and was found the following morning.

We will always try and be available when anyone is in need.

Attention Hunters!

With bow deer season right around the corner we here at 0 to 400 Drone Services are available this season to track down any wounded deer. Being from Colorado and a hunter out there I know even the best hunters can have a buck move at the last second or you take that shot just before sunset and it's nearly impossible to find them at night.

With thermal imaging drones if called quickly enough they will retain alot of that heat energy and we can quickly locate them for you even in the dead of night. I can be reached directly at 719-588-8214.

Unfortunately charge back attempts are apart of running a business. Sadly this person never reached out to us but instead waited a month in the hopes that we would miss the chargeback request.

Luckily as a byproduct of needing, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, text confirmation of requesting our services, and flight maps should be enough to satisfy the request in our favor. It will just suck being out that money for up to the next 60 days.

Last night we had someone reach out to us about a lost pet, unfortunately they had fallen prey to the "ethical pet tracking" Instagram page. While petfbi is a great resource, Sc@mers have bots ready to skim the flier for phone numbers and post about fake search and rescue services. They will also have bot pages claiming they are a real service. To my knowledge my self and Top Gun Drone Services are the only ones in and around cherokee county doing this type of work.

The first thing to be aware of is if you post a lost or missing pet I guarantee someone will call or text claiming to have your pet. They will either ask for payment up front or will claim to send you a code to verify your identity. That code they are sending you is likely a Google voice code, with that they can skim your text messages and can use that to bypass 2FA systems. DO NOT give anyone that code.

Secondly do not send payments through PayPal friends and family or zelle. If you send any money through those services you do not have any recourse to get a refund. They will actively avoid using PayPal business because they have fraud protection. If you used a CC you can obviously do a charge back but that would put your PayPal account at risk of being banned not the Sc@mers.

Red flag key words to keep and eye out for - Ethical pet trackers, full stack tracker, any claims of satellite use, 90%+ success rate or any sort of guarantee, Facebook posts with locked comments, or no ability to leave reviews on the page.

This will be crossposted to my main page if you would like to share this information with anyone who has a pet or has recently lost a pet. Knowing how the Sc@m works can help people avoid them.

Michelle Andrus I would like to thank you for this lost cat article that you shared with me about 2 months ago. I got 7 different calls today alone about lost cats and for various reasons we were not able to physically search. However 2 of those cats are back home due to this information. Edit: now up to 3

Understanding lost cat behavior or missing cat behavior is important for recovery depending on your type of cat, are they an Indoor-Only Cat, Outdoor-Access Cat or Outdoor-Only Cat
