Scam With Your Friends on PC. Click to open it full size.
Scam With Your Friends is a co-op comedy game for PC from JakeHub and Metater, available on Steam. You and your friends work in a fake call center and try to talk AI callers out of their money. Hit the daily quota, or your boss fires the whole team.
The callers are what make it different. You talk to them out loud through your mic, and an AI answers back in real time. No two calls go the same way, so the jokes come from what you and your friends say.
It launched in Early Access on October 15, 2026, from publisher Jatater Worldwide. It runs on Windows 10 and 11, needs an internet connection, and plays solo or with up to eight people.

What Is Scam With Your Friends?
Scam With Your Friends is a party game about running a phone scam operation in Kolkata, India, under a boss who yells at everyone. It comes from JakeHub and Metater, who publish their games together as Jatater Worldwide. Every caller is a fictional AI character with its own personality, and you have to talk them into paying.
A workday is a run of calls. You pick a scam, such as a fake police fine, a romance story, a lottery prize or a utility bill, and you work the caller until they hand over a payment code. A trust meter shows whether the caller believes you or is getting angry. Push too hard and they hang up.
A call in progress: the Caller Trust meter shows how the caller feels about you.
Your in-game desk has a whole fake operating system. You can remote into the caller’s computer with an app called AnyViewer, dig through their email, and use a paint app, a screen recorder and a webcam. Some scams turn into small minigames, like coin investment rounds where you cash out before the market crashes.
AnyViewer lets you into the caller’s computer once they read out their code.
The office fights back. Scambaiters (people who waste scammers’ time on purpose) can plant viruses on your PC, and the day can bring police raids or airstrikes. At the end of each day the boss plays back the funniest moments in a performance review, and if the team missed its quota, everyone is fired and the run starts over.
Miss the quota and the boss fires the whole team.

Is This Game for You?
Our Take
🎮 Our Take
The idea behind Scam With Your Friends is clever: an AI that answers whatever you say makes every call different, and a group of friends shouting over each other on the same call is where the game is at its funniest. We will also say it plainly: a comedy about tricking people out of their life savings, set in an Indian call center, is in poor taste to us, because these scams hurt real people. As a game, it is an Early Access build with speech recognition that needed several patches in its first week, a quota loop that repeats, and a scam list the developers plan to grow.
If you have a group that loves chaotic voice-chat games and the theme does not bother you, it is cheap and it delivers the laughs. If you mostly play alone, do not want to use a mic, or want a finished game, wait for the full release. If the subject sits wrong with you, skip it.
System Requirements
These are the specs the developers list on Steam. There is only a minimum spec, and it is light. The heavier load is the voice side: speech recognition and the higher-quality caller voices run on your own PC.
The higher-quality Qwen3 caller voices need a compatible graphics card and switch off on their own if they are too slow. Older processors without AVX2 support get a lighter speech engine called Moonshine. If you are shopping for a new machine, our Best Gaming Desktops guide is a good place to start.
Tips for Beginners
Test your mic before the first shift
Open General settings and check that the game hears you. If speech feels slow, switch the speech engine to Moonshine. You can always type instead.
Let the voices finish downloading
The developers advise waiting on the main menu until the Qwen3 voice download is done, especially if you play in a language other than English.
Watch the trust meter
When a caller slides from trusting to angry, slow down and play along with their story. A caller who hangs up pays nothing.
Cash out of coin rounds early
Coin investments rise toward a crash at a random time. Waiting too long, or losing the caller, forfeits that round’s money.
Turn on Family Friendly mode for mixed groups
The host sets it for the lobby. It tones down caller talk, blocks the in-game browser and hides private caller photos.
Scam With Your Friends Mods and Custom Callers
Mods in Scam With Your Friends are mostly new callers. The game supports the Steam Workshop, and the developers built it to be modded. Here is how custom callers work.
Built in
Make a new caller inside the game: give it a name, a personality and a voice. You can import your own WAV or MP3 file for the voice.
Community
Upload the callers you make and subscribe to other players’ callers. Installed Workshop callers show up in your Daily Callers list.
Advanced
Callers are defined in JSON files (plain text settings files), so you can write a personality by hand and pair it with a voice clip.
Workshop callers are made by other players, not the developers. Some are crude, so check a caller before you add it to a lobby with younger players, or turn on Family Friendly mode. In co-op, everyone needs the same game version for a lobby to work.
