A game about scamming, with a name like Scam With Your Friends, is a magnet for the wrong kind of search. The same search results that lead people to the real game also lead them to fake keys, fake playtest access and versions of the game that do not exist. This page is the checklist.
The three fakes in circulation
Fake key sellers. Sites offering the game cheap, or "free", before any price exists. There is nothing to sell: the price is unannounced and the store has no purchase entry yet. Any site with a buy button today is either selling something else or collecting card details.
Fake playtest access. Playtest signups are closed, and access comes from the signup pool with up to three invites per player. Nobody can sell you a slot, because slots are not for sale. The $8 add-on that does officially exist includes no playtest access, in the developer's own words. The playtest page has the full rules.
The phantom versions. A Roblox version and a mobile version circulate in short clips. Neither has been announced by the developer or the publisher, and the store data marks the game as Windows-only on Steam. A "Roblox version" video is a redirect to something else, and that something else is not this game.
The game's own fakes, for comparison
Part of what makes this game fun is that its fiction is full of fake brands and fake giveaways, like the in-game message app's free gift or the market's absurd shelves. Knowing that the fiction is loud helps you read the real-world fakes: the real game has one store listing, one price policy (none yet) and one set of official addresses.
How to check any link in seconds
- One store listing exists. The game's real home is its Steam app page. If a link does not end at that page or at the official site, it is not the game.
- Real announcements appear twice. A genuine release date or price lands in the store listing and in a store news post at the same time. Countdown timers on other sites are decoration.
- The store spelling is exact. The listing reads Scam With Your Friends. The publisher's own video title spells it differently, which is worth knowing, but a store search should use the exact listing name.
- Free means free. The playtest is free, invites are free, and the only official paid item is the $8 AI add-on that explicitly does not include access.
The line this wiki holds
The game is a comedy about playing a scammer. That is the boundary, and it is also our editorial policy:
- We describe the game's systems: the calls, the quota, the hazards, the shop.
- We do not teach, describe or link to any real scam method, and no page on this wiki is a guide to scamming anyone.
- We do not link key sellers, cracks, torrents or pirated copies, under any framing.
- Where the game's fiction touches a real-world scam pattern, like the tech support script, we treat it as fiction and say so.
If you have seen a page claiming to be this wiki and linking any of those things, it is not us. Our official channels page lists every address this site and the game's officials actually use.
