Hi fellow wattpaders,
          	
          	Just here to clarify a very unfortunate situation, but something both authors and readers should be very aware of.  
          	
          	The apps Hey Novel and Noveltells have stolen stories from Wattpad which they are selling on their platform without permission. Both of these apps are ran by the same company and seem to be advertising  one of my novels under the title 'The Alpha's Secrets' and with a different cover. However, on March 13th I was finally able to get them to remove my stories from both apps. 
          	
          	If you're an author, please look for your novel on these apps by searching your novel's title or characters' names (take screenshots once found). You can then report that story to Hey Novels' team at their email: dmca@noveltells.net (include the screenshot of the stolen story and your original story)
          	
          	If you're a reader, then please be strongly advised against purchasing any story on these apps. You're getting ripped off and the money is NOT going to the authentic author. Please try searching for these novels on Wattpad or Inkitt before making any purchases, but also please be so safe with your credit card information. 
          	
          	I've received quite a few messages about the stories, and thank you to those who notified me. I also received some not so nice messages from those who paid quite a lot for an unfinished story on those apps and I'm sorry to those. Just know I didn't earn a cent from that (haven't earn anything off my stories since I began writing). I'll try to finish AAPP in May, until then, stay vigilant readers.

@LieslHaas Hi, thanks for letting me know! When I had first emailed them I did have to send a few responses to finally get the story down, they seem to ask a lot when they know they've been stealing lol. But thank you for the update, glad they removed it finally :)

Hi, I started reading your story 2 days ago. I can't wait for you to finish, but I wanted to inform you that I found it on a Facebook add from Hey Novel. Listed as the Alpha,s Secrets Author name of Heath Bale. And it looks to be pretty popular on there, and it was not taken down because I just looked. Sorry you are having to deal with all this plagiarism.

@ejane1 Hi thanks for responding back! Glad they kept their word, thank you again for letting me know :)

@ejane1 okay, it is gone. It stayed in my library, but I see they deleted all of the "authors" books, including yours.

@ejane1 Hey, thanks for letting me know! I checked back their app but it wasn't on there. There is another novel on Hey Novel with the same title, but it's a different story. I'll try contacting them to deal with the ads.

Hi there
          Do you plan on finishing AAPP? Its an amazing story, havnt read such a good one in awhile - unfortunately i paid a crap.load of money for it on Heynovel only to find out its free on wattpad under a diff name but im invested...... would be such a pity for all your loyal readers to not be able to find out what happened to these amazing characters you created!!!

@CharleneHart755 Hey! I'm sorry about the hey novel issue. A week ago some readers notified me my stories were on there as I didn't give permission for it. I sent a few emails them and got the stories taken down. Unfortunately they seem to have quite a few stolen stories and charge their readers. I can't do much, but I'll try to finish the story in May or if I have time before then sooner. Thanks for reading

Hi Shania,
          
          Are you still writing AAPP? It's a fantastic book, and I know a lot of us would really like to read the end of Tate and Aiden's story. :) Are you going to mass post, or post to another app? 

1fandombookgirl

@accts69 Hey, sorry it's on hold again until the end of April. If I have time before I'll try to write a chapter. But it will be completed on this app only. Thanks for reading!
