On February 28, 2026, a client contacted Global Airpets Kenya and connected with Geoffrey Koech regarding the shipment of a dog from Kenya to the United States.

He represented himself as knowledgeable and capable of handling all requirements necessary for export and import of the dog. He informed the client that the dog would be able to travel within approximately seven days of first contact.

After receiving the initial payment of approximately USD $1,670 to secure the dog's manifest cargo slot on a flight in a week, Geoffrey Koech repeatedly requested additional payments every few days for new unexpected fees. Despite these payments, the promised services were never completed.
Based on his representations, the client sent him approximately USD $4,901.09 total over the course of 2 months, including funds allegedly for airline transport, export processing, boarding, rabies vaccinations, rabies titer testing, pet carriers, CDC/import-related fees, and veterinary-related expenses.

All of the tests, permits, and fees were fraudulent.

Payments were sent electronically through the SendWave application to M-Pesa accounts in Kenya (statement attached). Most communications were conducted through WhatsApp.

The client was informed by a legitimate pet shipping company in Kenya that Geoffrey Koech’s statement that the dog could legally be shipped from Kenya to the United States within approximately seven days was false and impossible under existing import regulations for dogs traveling from high-risk rabies countries such as Kenya. Geoffrey also told the client the dog could be sent to San Francisco or Sacramento, California, but dogs from Kenya can only enter certain airports in the USA, neither of which are those.

He charged approximately $280 for a rabies-related test allegedly being sent to South Africa, but no valid testing was completed. He also hinted that he was trying to fabricate rabies records with the South Africa attempt.

He later charged approximately $600 for another rabies titer test allegedly being sent to France, which also was never properly completed or provided despite repeated requests for the results and documentation.

He allegedly administered an expired, invalid, or otherwise unusable rabies vaccine, which resulted in the dog not meeting travel requirements. The titer test was never handed over and caused her flight to be hand carried to the USA was missed. The dog later had to be revaccinated through another legitimate company in order to restart the import process.

He charged the client for two airline-approved pet carriers, but only provided a very small carrier unsuitable for the dog when she was dropped off. Her bedding, blanket and dog house were not returned.

He charged approximately USD $950 claiming it was a CDC import fee being collected through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on behalf of the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The client later learned this fee arrangement does not exist and that CDC import processing for dogs from high-risk rabies countries is handled only through authorized CDC-approved facilities in the United States. This representation was knowingly false and used to obtain additional money from the client.

Throughout the process, Geoffrey Koech repeatedly delayed progress while continuing to collect boarding fees.

When we requested return of the dog and termination of services, Geoffrey Koech and associated individuals repeatedly changed pickup locations and phone numbers, making recovery of the dog difficult.

He repeatedly made false representations regarding flight eligibility, airport acceptance, and the status of medical testing and travel approvals.

The dog was never successfully shipped, and all services paid for were not properly completed.

The only payments that may have involved actual services rendered were small amounts relating to food, grooming, or walking/treat activities for the dog. The boarding charges were part of the scheme to extract more money. At one point he told me she needed to stay an additional 90 days.
The payments were obtained through false representations for services that were never properly completed, including export processing, titer testing, vaccination processing, CDC/import-related fees, travel preparation, and boarding connected to ongoing delays and unusable or invalid paperwork.

No valid rabies titer test was ever completed or provided despite repeated requests for documentation.

Geoffrey Koech later admitted through WhatsApp communications with the client and her representative that he would return the money collected. Despite these admissions and repeated promises of repayment, including statements that payment would be sent “tomorrow,” no repayment was ever provided.

He also requested the client's personal banking information and account details for purposes of repayment, but despite repeated assurances over many weeks that repayment would be sent, no repayment was ever made.

During the course of these events, Geoffrey Koech also sent photographs allegedly showing a family member in the hospital and later claimed that the individual had died. He then requested additional money allegedly for the benefit of the family. This was likely used to emotionally manipulate the client into continuing to send money.

Geoffrey Koech intentionally operated a fraudulent scheme for financial gain by knowingly making false representations through electronic communications and collecting money for services that were not properly rendered. He’s improperly represented himself as collecting fees for both Kenyan and United States Government entities.
