Incident 14782 Report
Scammers Reportedly Used AI-Generated Images of Missing Dog Archer to Solicit Fraudulent Vet Payment from Deltona, Florida Family

2026-04-12

Scammers reportedly used AI-generated images of Archer, a missing beagle mix in Deltona, Florida, on an operating table after owner Bill Cosens posted about the dog on social media. A caller allegedly claimed Archer had been hit by a vehicle and needed $2,800 in emergency surgery. Cosens grew suspicious after checking the supposed veterinary clinic address, sent no money, and Archer was later returned safely.
