Scam With Your Friends update 0.1.84, released October 24, 2026, introduces two new criminal schemes. IP Geolocation unlocks on Day 6 and can pay up to $800, while Money Mule unlocks on Day 11, involving suspicious shipments and convincing US Customs to let them through. Both activities are available now, although exact completion requirements, failure conditions and optimal payouts still need verification.

New to the scam business? See what Scam With Your Friends actually offers, and whether its AI-powered fraud is worth the trouble. Nearly 29,000 players showed up at launch. Unfortunately, the AI occasionally called in sick.



IP Geolocation: Day 6, up to $800

IP Geolocation introduces a globe interface where you attempt to locate callers using information gathered during conversations. Accurate guesses can earn up to $800, but you must keep the caller convinced while collecting readings. Which is understandable. People tend to become rather uncooperative once they suspect the stranger on the telephone is pinpointing their house for financial gain.


Instead of simply persuading somebody to hand over money, you're now gathering information while maintaining their cooperation. How the readings narrow down locations, how precise guesses must be and whether incorrect answers earn anything remain unclear. The $800 is a maximum advertised reward, not a guaranteed payout.



Money Mule: Day 11, and now your criminal empire needs a shipping department

Money Mule unlocks on Day 11 and introduces a three-stage operation: recruit a caller, arrange a suspicious shipment and convince US Customs to permit delivery.


Apparently, extracting money from innocent people wasn't enough. We've now branched into international logistics, complete with the extraordinary requirement of persuading the very institution responsible for stopping suspicious shipments to approve yours.


Imagine being the accountant responsible for this operation. Your client runs a fraudulent call centre, recruits strangers to move questionable merchandise and occasionally negotiates with customs. Then presumably asks whether international shipping expenses are tax-deductible. The accountant would resign. The tax authorities would be fascinated.


Beneath the administrative lunacy, Money Mule could offer a more involved criminal operation, extending beyond the initial conversation into shipping and customs clearance. However, exact dialogue requirements, shipment rules, failure penalties and payouts remain unverified. There's no reliable maximum-profit strategy yet.

Ever wondered why talking somebody into giving you access to their computer is more interesting than another hacking minigame? Discover why Scam With Your Friends makes the conversation itself the crime. Somehow, organised fraud still comes with performance reviews.



Three save slots and multiplayer improvements

Update 0.1.84 also introduces three selectable save slots, each displaying its current day and prestige level. Steam Cloud now synchronises all three, while lifetime achievements, statistics and playtime persist through resets and slot changes. The developers have also improved older-save handling, cloud reconciliation and achievement delivery.


Multiplayer guest money and purchased applications should now persist more reliably between sessions. Which seems reasonable in a game entirely dedicated to accumulating money. Losing your criminal fortune because somebody disconnected is less an occupational hazard and more an accountant feeding the company records into a wood chipper. These remain developer-reported improvements, not confirmation that every persistence issue has disappeared.



Which new scam is worth doing?

IP Geolocation is available first, with a potential $800 reward. Money Mule appears more elaborate, but its earnings and completion requirements remain uncertain. Until those details are verified, there's no reliable basis for declaring either the better money-maker.


For now, Day 6 introduces geographical detective work for criminals. By Day 11, your fraudulent enterprise apparently requires an international shipping department. Presumably, human resources will arrive in the next update.

Apparently, working in a fraudulent call centre now qualifies you for the top of the villain leaderboard. See the 10 most popular villain games to play right now, where scammers compete with monsters, supervillains and a goose that should probably be on a government watchlist.

About the Editor
Naamloos3.png

I'm Niels Gys, founder and editor of CRIMENET GAZETTE. I write about crime, heist, villain, and horror games because somebody has to separate genuine criminal masterpieces from games that couldn't organize a successful mugging.

​

​Outside the website, I'm the frontman of JETBLACK SMILE, a Belgian rock 'n' roll band that sounds like bad decisions played through loud guitars. Turns out writing about chaos, criminals, and morally questionable life choices isn't all that different from writing songs.

​

I started CRIMENET because too much gaming coverage feels afraid to have an opinion. Reviews become press releases, every game is "solid," and somehow everyone leaves happy except the reader.

​

Not here.

​

CRIMENET covers crime, heist, villain and horror games, with GTA Online as one of our main ongoing beats. Not the heroic kind. The kind where you rob banks, build empires, betray your crew, or become the monster everyone else is trying to survive.​

​

I don't do review scores. The internet already has enough people arguing whether a game deserves a 72 instead of a 71, like they're negotiating a hostage release over a single percentage point. I'd rather tell you what the game actually feels like to play and whether it's worth your time.

​

Every article is built on research, evidence, and an unhealthy intolerance for mediocre game design.

 

Strong opinions are welcome. Invented facts are not.

​

Think less "trusted reviewer."

​

More "your inside man in the digital underworld."

​

I'm not here to save the world.

​

I'm here to tell you which crimes are worth committing. 🤘

THIS WEEK
IN CRIME.

Weekly briefings on crime games, villains, heists, industry disasters, and digital chaos.

No corporate fluff. No fake hype. Just the underworld report.
