On February 13, 2001, I was contacted by Tanya Woods via e-mail. She said that she had seen on ebay that I had bid on a Ty Thank You bear beanie baby. She stated that she had one for sale. She said that her granddaughter had a beanie collection and that she hated to sell them, but her granddaughter needed the money for a car to attend college. She offered to sell me the Thank You bear for $155.00 and to let her know if I was interested. I e-mailed her back and told her that I was interested, if she still had it available. She e-mailed me back immediately and told me that she did still have it available and I agreed to purchase the beanie. On February 15, 2001, I mailed her a money order in the amount of $159.50 (cost plus shipping). I e-mailed her to let her know that I had mailed the money and asked her to please let me know when she received it. I never did hear from her and I sent several more e-mails asking if she had received the money. She finally e-mailed me back on February 21, 2001, and acknowledged that she had just received the money order and that the bear would be in the mail the next day (February 22, 2001). I waited until Tuesday, February 27, 2001 and again e-mailed her several times to ask her if she had, in fact, mailed the bear when she said she did because I was concerned that it had not arrived. She ignored my e-mails for a couple of days and then she finally e-mailed me back and stated that the same day she mailed the bear, the post office was hit hard by a storm. I started asking her for a tracking number at that point so that I could check on the status and she would never provide me with one. At this point, I became quite suspicious and started doing some of my own investigating. I checked her name on ebay and came up with her user ID of Eye of the Tiger. I found that she had some negative feedback for not mailing merchandise after it was paid for and I found out that she had been suspended from ebay for this very reason. I found this out from a woman that she had ripped off. I contacted her through ebay's mail service and she contacted me directly and told me that I was right to be suspicious of Tanya - that she was a lying, conniving person that had ripped her off of money and merchandise. As I got more and more suspicious of Tanya and started confronting her with what I had learned about her, she became increasingly hostile and nasty. She started to say that I was harassing her over a beanie and that she was going to leave bad feedback on me. She then sent me an e-mail telling me that she had the delivery confirmation slip back from the post office which proved that I was a liar - that I had received the bear. Funny, she never could provide a copy of said delivery confirmation or a tracking number. This woman not only ripped me off, but then she tried to turn the whole situation around and try to smear my good reputation. I also did some more checking around and contacted some other names that were on the original e-mail I received from Tanya where she offered to sell the bear to me. Sure enough, a woman named Julayne contacted me back and stated that she had been offered the bear as well and she had sent Tanya $161.00 for the bear at least two days after Tanya knew that I had sent her a money order for the same item. Julayne was also ripped off - she never received the bear either. I contacted Square Trade to try to resolve this dispute. Tanya stated that she had sent all documentation to Square Trade proving that she had sent me the bear. I have e-mails from Square Trade telling me how sorry they are that this person never contcated them and that they can only resolve matters with two willing participants. This woman is a liar and a crook and I hope I can keep someone else from being cheated by her. I have copies of all the e-mails she sent me as well as a receipt for the money order. My reputation as a buyer on ebay is impeccable - I'm sure not the one that was suspended for questionable practices.

I am Julayne (julaynei@aol.com) and Bron is right. This women Tanya Woods wrote to the both of us and sold the same item the Ty thank you bear. Both of us sent money and neither one of us have received the bear. This women need to be stopped. She makes it hard for us honest people to trade and buy with others. Please help us to stop her. Thanks.

I mailed the tracking info to ebays trade on brons bear, and they recieved it. You will need to contact them safe harbor to get the informatin, bron recieved it according to the post office's tracking system. He has found someone that I have had problems with and is trying to get his cake and eat it too and I am also filing charges for harassment. Not all sellers are bad people but there are people out there who help crooked people get their merchandise and get money back also. I have emails from people who have had dealings with Bron and the same things happpen. He wants his money back saying he never recieved merchandise.

Safe harbor from ebay has all informtion on this. I have no idea who you are I have never heard of you before and I would just feel better if you went through safe harbor on this. Bron has been threatning me and I know exactly what he is up too. He has had others writing me and I am just not sure that this is not more of the same.

First of all, I am not a man - I am a woman. As usual, Tanya doesn't know what she is talking about. I never threatened Tanya with anything other than filing fraud charges against her, which is what I did. Secondly, Safe Harbor never even heard from this woman. I filed for dispute resolution and she ignored their e-mails. She cut off all contact with me once she knew that I was on to all of her lies and told me to contact Safe Harbor - that they had all the relevant information. I contacted them and they said that they had to close my case because the other party had never responded to my complaint.
Pat, I am am honest person. This person is a crook. She is lying telling you that others have contacted her about me - you can feel free to check my rating on ebay. I have only positive, excellent feedback. She, on the other hand, was suspended from ebay for doing this exact thing to other people.
Please respond and let me know what my options are.
This is very upsetting to not only be ripped off, but then to have my integrity questioned is adding insult to injury.Thank you.

I posted an earlier complaint against this person. She ripped me off for $159.50 for a Ty Thank You Bear that she never sent. She ran this scam on several people and is still doing it. Just wanted to update everyone that she is now using a new e-mail address which is missann252@netscape.net. I also found out from the post office that her real name is Tonya Lacey. Postal authorities are now investigating her. BEWARE of any solicitations from this woman!!

She emailed me had a Thank Bear for sale I paid by Postal Money Order. She claimed never received it. Got a copy and called the bank where it was cashed and they told me her signature matched exactly. I demanded a refund and she asked for my address and apologized for any inconvenience but never sent refund. I noticed she is on the bad traders list but with a different email address.
