Warning! Zach Feschuk/James Feschuk/James Novikov/Elliot Novikov spreading false rumors

I apologize to everyone here in advance as I didn't want to post this here but felt I needed too as both Jim Powers and my reputations were attacked locally and now this person states he not finished. I don't exactly know what he means by that so wanted to bring this out in the open before rumors get started. I see he has already posted both on Craigslist (Pittsburgh) and on Fauna under another new alias Elliot Feschuk. This is an extremely long read as I have attached every last email. There was a recent craigslist add posted on April 4th in the Pittsburgh Pets section calling our hobby site 412Balls a chop shop. I was made aware of this by a friend and figured since he saw the add, others may have as well. The add was posted by Zach Feschuk (two facebook accounts with this name) who also goes by Zachary James Feschuk, James Feschuk, James Novikov (one facebook account with this name) and possibly Revi or Nevi on Craigslist. The original add on CL has since been deleted. Myself and Jim Powers wanted to clear the air if anyone hears something about us from this individual. Jim knows Zach and had called Zach out for trying to sell some animals as het clowns that were not het at all a year+ ago. We are pretty sure Zach is now trying to smear our reputation as a result. You can search the BOI on Fauna, look on BP.net or on Bush League Breeders or any other site known to post inquiries and you'll not find a single bad guy thread about myself or Jim (other than what this person will put out there). Shortly after contacting craigslist to report the post, I started receiving emails through the contact link on our site from Zach (using his James Novikov name). Each is still signed Zach however. I am going to post the email thread if anyone cares to read it. It starts with the first email he sent from novikov412@ymail.com. I apologize for the length and sometimes sarcastic tone I took with this individual. I also apologize if I missed any inappropriate language in the emails as I tried to PG-13 everything. This person was also banned from Fauna before under the username Zach412.

If this is James, I don't know you but whatever your problem is with Jim you had better leave my name and my business out of it. This had better be the last email, craigslist post or fb comment I see from you. I don't run a chop shop and have never screwed anyone over. And you better do some homework on your morphs because that is a pastel pinstripe aka lemonblast not a spinner.

I have been doing this for a long time, never mentioned your name and simply gave my opinion since so many people have been asking about you guys. So I can't tell if your trying to threaten me but I do have that email saved. And as long as your in business with Jim, and I can't see why anyone would ever do that. I almost did but found out certain things about him. So as far as I'm concerned I have freedom of speech and I can state my opinion however I please. So.....

Hey James, since your saving emails, I hope you saved the sarcastic little attack that you sent from the contact on my site. If your planning some sort of legal action, which would be quite the joke, remember there is a little thing called slander. You know, blacken someone's name, tell lies about, sully someone's reputation. I don't recall a business transaction in the form of a sale or trade with you. So your claims of my business being a chop shop are fabricated and hold no water. And I can always contact craigslist even if you remove that post if you'd like. As I said earlier, you'd be best to not mention 412Balls negatively on any site unless you have actual proof of some wrong we did. I don't care how you feel about Jim, that is between you and him. But I won't stand idle while you smear my reputation without proof. I've had nothing but positive feedback and any animal I sell is healthy, correctly sexed and the morph/het it was sold as.So you smear 412Balls, you smear me, not just Jim.

No you shared my name too. 412Balls is not just Jim. Like I said, I never did business with you. So you have no valid claim to any wrongdoing by 412Balls. Furthermore your claim that 412Balls is a chop shop has no basis and is nothing but a slanderous unfounded claim. As I said several times now, your issue with Jim is between the two of you. But I'd advise you to leave 412Balls out of your squabble.

Look, whatever the your name is, I hatched out three super mojaves last year and still have the two female holdbacks. I traded the male. You really have your "facts" screwed up! The only thing in your email that is correct is that right now we don't have anything for sale. We sold or traded what we did not hold back. It's funny that you are the only person I know of that has heard all of this "bad s--t" about myself and Jim. But there are no Fauna BOIs or other bad guy threads on either of us. Where's the proof? I have plenty of people out there that I have purchased from, sold to or traded with that would say otherwise. Jim does as well. I know why you have it out for Jim. It's because he called you out on some fake het clowns. You're the one who is being a bit shady here. Hell, you go by 2 or three different names. Why is that? If you want to see what I have, why don't you stop by. Otherwise, stop with the emails. I find you quite humerous starting all this with me and then telling me you're saving emails because you think I may be threatening you. I too have a folder with every email from this chain saved along with the email I sent to craigslist about your slanderous post on their site. Just in case you try to post some more bs somewhere else. You seem like the typical little weasel that likes to hide behind a computer and sling bs. Why don't you crawl back from wherever it is you came from and move on.

I will answer all of your three emails in one essay as you like to call them. Please read this one. I have a life but also have time to call out thieves and liars. I'm not stalking you, you came at me remember? Or do you forget that already? You went on a public site (craigslist) and called Jim Powers and anyone associated with him (myself) out as a chop shop to attempt to give us a bad name in the local reptile community but provided exactly zero proof to back up the remark. And it was you that started sending sarcastic emails to me. I am the one who had told you in my first reply that I did not care what your issue is with Jim, but to leave my name out of it and stay out of my business. You in turn chose to keep up with your "witty" comments which is why we are now at this point. To further clarify your other reply, you spent one night in jail so technically you were jailed (Public information that is readily available on Google.com). You also brought Brian Barczyk's name into this saying you know him personally and that he knows what a bunch of nuts we are now. Then when I question you on that remark, your reply is "I've only spoken to him a few times". Which is it. Does he know you by name or did you just talk to him about a certain animal he had for sale? And seriously, if I were him and some guy I don't know other than talking about snakes for a few minutes started ranting about some local hobby breeders and how crazy they were, I would take it with a grain of salt. Heck, I've had conversations with big breeders and would not consider that "personally knowing them". Now, when you post on craigslist to make everyone think I am insane, will you be posting under another alias? I can tell you that local people in the Pittsburgh area reptile community are already aware of this email thread and quite frankly they aren't calling myself or Jim nuts. Oh, you don't have to worry, I did not edit or delete any of the emails between us with the exception of blanking out a curse word or two with "----". Everything is in chronological order from the first email to last up until you said you were not replying anymore. Nobody else seems to have heard anything negative about either myself or Jim. Again, you still have not answered my question. So, I'll ask again, what is all this "bad shit" you know about us? Until you answer the question and provide some sort of proof to your claim you're just making yourself look bad. So keep responding, making your threats and slinging your sorry insults. I neither plan on killing myself now and doubt you will cause me to rethink my position in the future. Have a nice day!

You have craigslist, enjoy. I'll be going on a few BOIs myself. This really does need to get out in the open. Seriously, people in the reptile community need to know about both yourself and Jim and I. I will post the whole thing chronologically and they can decide who is right or wrong.

See how idiotic and empty your whole argument sounds. You've done nothing but try sarcasm, bully tactics and play victim, none have worked. And now, here you go again hinting now about guns and throwing your gay comments to go along with your shady cop buddies, IT thugs, don't make me make you worth my time, I know Brian Barczyk and told him all about you threats. You obviously hold a grudge against Jim that is eating you up. Maybe you'll cool down after your trip.

I said Elliot Novikov when I meant to type Elliot Feschuk. That is his new user account he just created on this site today. I also believe he posted under the Ball Pythons section to try and make us look bad. I am not sure if he left anything out, but this is the entire email chain. Due to email, some replies appear to overlap.

What is a "chop shop" with respect to snakes? I know what it means for vehicles.

Also, you forgot a few s-bombs.

found out about this and thought its about time i set the record straight from the begining with Zach/James/Novi/Elliot/ Feschuk from West Mifflin, Pa. not going to go into every detail cause this guy isn't worth my time.

Met him a year or two ago as he was buying feeders from me from a craigslist add. found out we were from the same town and started a friendship since we both had BP's. long story short, we were going to become breeding partners until around june/july 2013 he posted a add on fauna trying to sell het clowns under the name Zach412. which at the time neither of us did not have any clowns or het clowns. i found all this out from someone that called me saying they saw the add on here and that he was using BHB and a local breeders, Killerpets, paperwork. i called him and he denied posting it and blamed it on his 12 year old daughter. told him that i was done with him and did not want to be associated with him. since then i became breeding partners with Greg Sommer (Pghballs) and we go by 412balls. heard nothing from him for almost a year when i saw a add on Pittsburgh craigslist someone selling all these het clowns and other proven breeders by the name Revi. i called to inquire about them and he answered and i recognized his voice as he did mine. he hung up. next day he post my name and 412balls bashing us. now it has taken on alife of its own which both myself and Greg find amusing. this local Zach/James/Revi/ Elliot has never even produced a clutch. any clutch pics he has of pieds our mine that he took pics of. so to anyone out there that has bought/traded with him. your hets will never prove, the are all fake. i'm not into name calling or sit sweating in my basement making false accusations behind a keyboard. i just call people out who can't back up anything.

412balls are myself and Greg Sommer. Just two hobby breeders making some cool bps for ourselves and for others in this great hobby. I'm just a "redneck" as someone called me, lol, doing something i love to do. Greg and I will have some cool stuff this spring/summer so come check us out and like us on Facebook. 412balls

I realized the missed s-bombs and apologized to the admin who flagged me. As far as a chop shop? I could only guess he means we steal snakes and sell them for parts? He also has not answered anything as far as what we did to become shady in the industry. Here is his latest Craigslist add where he again posts only one sided emails that make him look victimized. I'll post the link but also the text as it will most likely be gone before too long.

https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pet/4414560684.html

Last week I posted an add for a pied female ball python where I also asked in the message body for Jim Powers of 412Balls or Nuts as I call them not to call me. Since then I have had over 50 emails from someone I do not even know named Greg Sommer, and I am simply posting these emails to prove my point. Yes, I have been to jail, as well as 80 percent of the population, yes I use a fake name on craigslist for safety reasons as everyone should but if you take the time to read the essays this man wrote to me I am confident you will see how full of hot air and anger this man is. And to be clear, I am not a breeder, I own 6 ball pythons, and sometimes when I find good deals on them I buy them to sell. Don't do the reptile shows as I feel they are a waste of time so I have nothing to loose or gain from this. I simply want the general public who has a reptile hobby as I do, to know who to stay away from in this very shady world of reptile sales and trading. If you would like I would gladly refer you to other very reputable breeders I know. Thanks for your time, enjoy my mugshot and have a good laugh. Because I know who I am and have no problem being honest about it. So sit back and enjoy. By the way I'm not sure how to change it so the message starts last to first with Greg's last message listed first.

I will answer all of your three emails in one essay as you like to call them. Please read this one. I have a life but also have time to call out thieves and liars. I'm not stalking you, you came at me remember? Or do you forget that already? You went on a public site (craigslist) and called Jim Powers and anyone associated with him (myself) out as a chop shop to attempt to give us a bad name in the local reptile community but provided exactly zero proof to back up the remark. And it was you that started sending sarcastic emails to me. I am the one who had told you in my first reply that I did not care what your issue is with Jim, but to leave my name out of it and stay out of my business. You in turn chose to keep up with your "witty" comments which is why we are now at this point. To further clarify your other reply, you spent one night in jail so technically you were jailed (Public information that is readily available on Google.com). You also brought Brian Barczyk's name into this saying you know him personally and that he knows what a bunch of nuts we are now. Then when I question you on that remark, your reply is "I've only spoken to him a few times". Which is it. Does he know you by name or did you just talk to him about a certain animal he had for sale? And seriously, if I were him and some guy I don't know other than talking about snakes for a few minutes started ranting about some local hobby breeders and how crazy they were, I would take it with a grain of salt. Heck, I've had conversations with big breeders and would not consider that "personally knowing them". Now, when you post on craigslist to make everyone think I am insane, will you be posting under another alias? I can tell you that local people in the Pittsburgh area reptile community are already aware of this email thread and quite frankly they aren't calling myself or Jim nuts. Oh, you don't have to worry, I did not edit or delete any of the emails between us with the exception of blanking out a curse word or two with "----". Everything is in chronological order from the first email to last up until you said you were not replying anymore. Nobody else seems to have heard anything negative about either myself or Jim. Again, you still have not answered my question. So, I'll ask again, what is all this "bad shit" you know about us? Until you answer the question and provide some sort of proof to your claim you're just making yourself look bad. So keep responding, making your threats and slinging your sorry insults. I neither plan on killing myself now and doubt you will cause me to rethink my position in the future. Have a nice day!

Oh BHB ok. And I'm sure he and you are great friends. I mean, he must send you Christmas cards too right? I guess even if you did have a chance to meet him at a show and a 5 minute conversation, that makes anyone good buds. Did he tell you all the bad shit about us? Or maybe Zach Feschuk told you..oh that's your other name..my apologies. What name does Brian know you by? I'm still waiting for you to answer my question. Also, you seem to know alot about homosexual activities. Are you sure that time you spent in the pen didn't affect you somehow? There are programs out there that can help you get through the emotional issues you seem to be having. Why don't you just answer the question and end this huh? Myself and Jim have been waiting for your answer for days now.

Oh and my pied is from Brian whom I personally know from BHB. I make sure they know all about 412 nuts as well. That would have been a good name for ya. I mean your name already sounds like a cougar dating sight for people in the 412 area code.

Leave you alone? How bout you take back the BS you spewed out on Craigslist that who knows how many people read and took to heart? You started with me remember? I was raised to not write checks with my mouth, pen or keyboard that I can't cash. You obviously were raised different. You want me to leave you alone, how about giving me some concrete proof of my so called bad shit myself and Jim have done. If you have nothing..than I call bs on all of it! I'm wondering if you got this bs from a fella in Ambridge..and if so then you better check fauna's BOI on that person. You'll have alot of reading over there if that is the case.

Furthermore, you have yet to mention any of what you've heard about us. Furthermore, you want to hint at IRS? Maybe other authorities would like to know what you've gotten away with clean..son. lol. You've put your foot in your mouth several times in this thread..its an email thread since you'll be asking "what thread" soon enough. Remember your telling me about saving emails? I believe you've made several insinuating threats now in your emails. Not smart for someone with a 137 IQ.

Messing with your "business" that's what's funny jag off. Where's your business license. Oh wait you called it a hobby as well. So which one is it? You got you hobby license? Am I slandering and ruining your hobby for you? What kind of revenue has your business generated? And I wander if any of those profits were reported to the irs? Hmmm, I wander. Seriously dude, grow up.

You refer to me using high school tactics and now you're throwing grade school insults. You sure your co-workers aren't laughing at you? I know I am. I'm starting to enjoy this more than messing with the Ugandan scam artists. Although at this point, even they are more creative than you! I'm going to include Jim on this reply.

Look, whatever the your name is, I hatched out three super mojaves last year and still have the two female holdbacks. I traded the male. You really have your "facts" screwed up! The only thing in your email that is correct is that right now we don't have anything for sale. We sold or traded what we did not hold back. It's funny that you are the only person I know of that has heard all of this "bad shit" about myself and Jim. But there are no Fauna BOIs or other bad guy threads on either of us. Where's the proof? I have plenty of people out there that I have purchased from, sold to or traded with that would say otherwise. Jim does as well. I know why you have it out for Jim. It's because he called you out on some fake het clowns. You're the one who is being a bit shady here. Hell, you go by 2 or three different names. Why is that? If you want to see what I have, why don't you stop by. Otherwise, stop with the emails. I find you quite humerous starting all this with me and then telling me you're saving emails because you think I may be threatening you. I too have a folder with every email from this chain saved along with the email I sent to craigslist about your slanderous post on their site. Just in case you try to post some more bs somewhere else. You seem like the typical little weasel that likes to hide behind a computer and sling bs. Why don't you crawl back from wherever it is you came from and move on.

I love this line in his Craigslist ad

"Yes, I have been to jail, as well as 80 percent of the population"

Im not sure who he hangs around with but 8 out of 10 people I know, haven't been in jail.

Personally I think you did yourself more harm then good by starting this Thread.

I agree with Chris. FB drama that spills onto the BOI is bad; CL drama is worse.

This is playground nonsense. Walk away, be the bigger person, and earn 412 a reputation the old-fashioned way...conduct good business.

I agree that it is playground nonsense. I admit I got pulled into it. However, since he posted on fauna under another alias earlier in the day. I figured better give all info and not just what he chose to edit. I posted right before his post was flagged and removed. Honestly though, lies have damaged reputations in the past, and always will have the potential to damage them as long as just one person believes them.
