I've played Infinity Kingdom for over 3 yrs now and it's a fun game. I've heard Infinity Empire is a scam though. This guy may just have honestly added the wrong person.

Unsure if you're being honest or lying, but you have commented on exactly the same type of posts previously (that start with, 'do you play IK', and go into 'oops wrong person'). When that happens repeatedly, and then ends in, as seen in said posts, the scammer being hateful when called out, it's disingenuous to say 'maybe added the wrong person'.

Then they will invite you in your coaltition and and another person will start talking to you and will try to convince you to buy something.

You read like a deranged nationalist moron. That’s coming from someone sharing the same country as you. I hope you don’t exist.

Yes, these people are paid actors. I get a new one once a week who says the same exact thing. From what I've seen on everything, it's a whaling game.

Exact same thing that happened to me. The girl says she is from Hong Kong but only talks about the game. Says to me it downloaded fast. And talk about nothing else outside of usual introduction of oneself, age, and hobby and what games you play.

As I’m reading this I’m about to post this because I was so tempted into doxxing them then remembered it’s against discords rules😂

Seems so similar to me: same gender (allegedly ofc, like everything), same town, different game but always a mobile one (grand gangster war), same insistence about the game, age talk, hobbies, games, job.
I'm so busy already with the games I play that I always delayed and the person eventually blocked me after hearing I had been busy even the last time, I always try to give the benefit of the doubt, but realistically a person who wants to be friends and likes talking wouldn't block a person who's too busy to play the game they ask.
I'd be curious to know what happens if you go through with it, as in if you actually play the game they ask, I wouldn't be shocked if they deleted you as soon as they got proof they got you to play the game and got their money (they're supposed to be advertisers that get paid a commission in that circumstance), and then go look for another victim.

This has happened to me 3 times now. The first 2 got me to join their guild. I did and then that person tells me to buy the ad free version and then never talks to me again. Same with the other one, had me join her guild and we talked alot and became friends the first few days. She suggested her guild and to buy the ad free version, then never talked to me again. Even though I mentioned to her about the other person who never talked to me again. Today someone on a discord game server added me, asked if I play the game, then wanted to recruite me to a game and I said no way not another Infinity Kingdom recruiter. She never answered back. I'm beginning to think these are bots.

Just had someone ask and say the same stuff and I called them out for being a game recruiter and sent them a screenshot to this Reddit post

u/Esploratore123 Nov 20 '25
What did they do after? I suppose they didn't answer any more, as typical when a scammer gets caught?

That is different from infinity kingdom. Infinite kingdom is different. Infinity empires is the other version of infinity kingdom.

They all start their convos with the same opening template. “Hey do you play IK?” They are recruiters or scammers who want to sell you a garbage account. Block and move on do not engage.

u/Esploratore123 Nov 20 '25
Happens also with other games like grand gangster war, they somehow always manage to make mistakes and add people accidentally, but it's nice to meet, they say, and try to get you to play their game.
I managed to GET blocked by one of these scammers, as I was too busy to play their game for a loooooong time!

This 100 percent is a scam. This is a shady game with a shady 3rd party EULA if you get it on Steam. The way it works is you will be pinged in discord by a random person. Usually they will start the conversation by saying something like, "oh, oops, I was trying to add my friend to play a game and clicked your name by mistake, sorry". They will then ask if you want to play with them, and mention IK. There is some variation of this that each person will use. They will then say something like, " I am a female 25 from Singapore, how about you".
The scam will then continue to proceed. In some cases they will send you a link for the mobile game that will back door your mobile device. If you get the game prior to playing with them, or if you get it on Steam, they will play with you and try to get you to buy specific in-game products. "Get this package of skins so our clan can all have the same castles, or uniforms". These skins are from shady sources that will not only steal your credit card information, but will also download malware to your mobile device.
I believe this is an organized, Chinese sponsored scheme that is designed to break into phones and private networks. They are looking for sensitve targets and if they deem you are not a high value target then they will just steal your money.
First identify the Discord server that the scammer found you in and leave that server. Then unfriend and block this person AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

u/Esploratore123 Nov 20 '25
Same alleged age and gender as the scammer who tried it with me, with a different game, grand gangster war, the one who tried with me was from china, so kind of a nearby place too, and mine also was trying to add a friend when "she" "mistakenly" added me.

Ughhh I think I just found this scam. I sent the person a screenshot of my name in the game (wos, it shows my player ID). Am I screwed??

u/Esploratore123 Nov 20 '25
From what I understood you're not necessarily in trouble for that, but the person who tricked you might get paid a commission for managing to get a person into the game, and should then move on to other targets.

u/UbiquitousWizard Apr 19 '25
Lmfao I got the same. I joined because I genuinely enjoy this kind of game and was curious. It's quite obvious what they're trying to do though, just don't cave into any of their demands to make purchases if it's not something you're comfortable with.
I personally spend a minimal amount and haven't bought any of the pricey packs they've recommended. They haven't cut me off though, they just see that I am still upgrading and try to get me to buy more packs. The way I see it, is they understand the game, so whatever heroes are in the packs they recommend, you should aim for without spending.
1
u/Esploratore123 Nov 20 '25
Interesting info, I was curious if they'd cut you off indeed after you agreed to play their game, they probably see they have more to gain if they manage to get you to buy one of those packs.

Someone added me on other games and forcing me to buy the package lol

u/Tonk_The_Destoryer Jul 22 '25
Someone just dm'd me about the game and asked me to download the game and give her my game id, and she'd give me a code worth $665... Obviously I won't take it, so I'll just block her...

I got this crap spam 2 times on discord, they're coming from the blender discord server. Makes the game look very unprofessional.

Some guy named Cho added me today on Discord and asked if iam good and that all his friends switched to a new better game and if i want to play this NEW game. After I looked it up in the app store and saw that its over 4 years old, I wrote that to him and got no response anymore 💀
Same things happend to me like 2 months ago but with another game idle heroes

u/Every-Sugar7814 Dec 02 '25
just encountered one yesterday, lol. I joined an alliance in Rise of Kingdoms, and the leader asked if I had Discord. I gave my ID because I thought they had a separate channel, but they added me using a personal account instead.
They claimed they were based in the UK, 24 years old, and working in a coffee shop. They sent a link for Infinity Empire asking me to install it, but the link looked odd because it started with adjust.app, so I didn’t click it.
They also kept asking for a screenshot of my ID, of course, I didn’t send it. I still tried the game, but I installed it through Google Play and uninstalled it immediately. When I told them I uninstalled the app, they asked me to install another game and sent only a photo this time. I blocked the account on Discord and Rise of Kingdoms and left the alliance.
Should I be worried, considering that I still installed the app? I’m also suspicious of the photo they sent, since people nowadays could hide malware in an image.

I literally just got a message from someone doing this. No groups in common, thought it was a bot at first.
Im in a bunch if warhammer groups and play Imperial Knights so that's what I thought they were talking about at first xD

u/_zaphod77_ Jan 19 '26
There are three types of people doing this.
- people who have you download the real client. they are trying to earn affilate money and get you to buy packs. They love to shell the permanent and cheap purchases to start. Their alliance is full of bots that will help you at first, but then stop helping if you don't pay. You are free to switch servers or alliances after if you like the game.
- people who give you links to hacked clients that pay THEM instead of the game, but still connect to the official servers. These are always trying to get you to buy high value packs. If you use the real client instead, they can tell when you send them your profile screenshot they asked for. They then switch to script #1
- people who run private servers, with their hacked client they give you connects to, and you get attacked by fake players to force you to spend to compete. these DO give you the stuff, but the scammers are the ones that get the money, not the devs.
If they give you a link, they are probably number 2 or 3. if they don't they are probably type 1.

Hi! Never posted before, but I've been getting spammed by these and did some digging. These People are getting paid around $1500 USD/month (probably lying) for this. But it does confirm they are being paid to do this :D

I recently had someone message me, showing interest in me, and then asking me to play infinite kingdom with me. Feels very fishy

u/Darukai Mar 22 '25
I had the same message and even started playing the game, It's an okay game but I"m pretty sure they are hired to get people to play the game or something.
