Complaint filed by: Lugnut719@aol.com

I bought a Ty #1 Bear from Ryanbeans, Ryan Trowbridge, screen name RT7307, from Blue Springs, Mo. I sent him $2800.00 and he finally sent me the beanie after I had to contact him several times about sending it. He said it had been verified by Peggy Gallagher and finally sent the bear. When it arrived, it was not in a sealed case and I wrote him back and said I was not happy with the condition as it should have been in a sealed case. I then resent the bear to TBB and sure enough it is a fake, now I am also sending Peggy the info from this certificate to find out if it too is a fake. I e-mailed several times to the trader to tell him of these facts and that my attorney would be in touch if we could not get this resolved. After 5 e-mails he finally answered and told me to contact the ty employee who he said he sent my check to, which is false as he signed the back of my check himself. No name of the ty employee is mentioned or phone number or an address. PLMK if you can help me in this matter. Thanks,
Barb

I purchased the #1 Bear from Stephanie or Jay Nicholas.I had bought other beanies from them.They all turned out real,so they asked me if I knew of somebody who wanted or if I wanted to buy it.So I bought it, the #1 Bear because they had said they worked or a family friend of theirs worked for Ty Inc.The beanie was authenticated when I recieved it and was going to keep it for me,but didn't have the money.Then,I decided to sell it to Barbara.I'm only 17,and was only trying to buy beanies.Please contact them,because they are the ones who sold it to me.Here's the info for them:

First of all, Mr. Trowbridge has cashed the check I sent him at the Bank of America in St Louis, on Feb 1, 2001. He I believe is the one to send me back my money and then he need to deal with this other party as that is between him and Stephanie. I only dealt with Ryan and I told him I want my money back and that he should then deal with his party. Am I correct? Thanks,

Update filed by: Peggy Gallagher

I had already previously voided COA # 10571. I had also informed Ryan that the Beanie that matched the COA must be a light blue Peanut with a 3rd gen ty heart tag and a 2nd gen tush tag. After seeing a facsimile of the Certificate of COA # 10571 there is evidence that the original writing had been disguised and someone had illegally rewritten "Ty #1 Bear" and removed the "Light Blue Peanut", which was written on the line. Someone also removed the 3rd gen on the certificate and wrote in N/A. I have never authenticated a # 1 Bear missing the Ty heart tag. Ryan I would suggest you refund the monies to the buyer because you did not have an authenticated # 1 Bear as you had advertised. You have some very serious allegations including mail fraud, and including selling a counterfeit Beanie Baby that Ty Warner did not sign. And advertising the Beanie had been authenticated by me, Peggy Gallagher. Someone had rewritten on the original COA and that is an additional fraud charge. You knew in January that the COA did not match the Beanie Baby in question. I would seriously suggest you refund the innocent party her money and also contact your seller and get a a local States Attorney involved to prosecute the person that sold you this counterfeit Beanie Baby, with a fake Ty signature on a counterfeit ty heart tag, and whoever altered an authentic COA, from Peggy Gallagher.
Thank you.
