FORT WORTH, TX --(Marketwired - April 28, 2016) - APPYEA Inc. APYP, a fully reporting company, announced today that the Company has fallen victim to an elaborate fraud. On April 19, 2016, an as yet unidentified party issued a fraudulent press release claiming that AppYea had entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to purchase all the outstanding stock of a mobile application development company. The Company has not entered into any such LOI.

Douglas McKinnon, CEO for APYP, said, "We don't know the reason for the perpetrators' actions but they went to the trouble of actually setting up a fake website that mirrors the real AppYea website, opened an account with a wire service, and set up fake email and telephone services. They did however misspell my last name in the release and website."

The Company has joined the authorities in the investigation of this fraud and will pursue all avenues to find the perpetrator. Further information will be included in a Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To be clear, AppYea is not, nor has been, in discussions of a merger or acquisition with another mobile application development company.
