The verdict appears here: trust score, every signal for and against, and what the platforms say about the channels mentioned.
How scammers operate
Five patterns that account for most of the key requests indie developers receive.
- The follower-farm curator“Steam Curator with 45,000 followers”, three reviews in two years, writes from Gmail, asks for two keys “for our second reviewer”. Curators never need a key: Curator Connect delivers copies to the verified account.
- The borrowed nameDisplay name of a well-known streamer, address like cohhcarnage.business4471@gmail.com, “schedule attached”, keys for a co-host. The real channel lists a business address, and it is not that one.
- The lookalike domainign-reviews.net, youtube-partners-program.com, registered a few weeks ago, sometimes without even a mail server. Keys for “PC, Xbox and Switch so we can cover every platform”.
- The giveaway“5–10 keys for our 12,000-member Discord”. No coverage promised, just keys. Giveaways are where resold keys leave the building.
- The templateThe exact same text sent to hundreds of developers with the game name swapped. KeyTriage fingerprints templates across all developers, so the tenth copy is caught even from a brand-new address.

Questions
- Why not just use Curator Connect or Keymailer?
- You should. KeyTriage is for what still lands in your inbox anyway: it tells you which of those emails are worth a reply, and gives you the reply.
- Do you read my whole inbox?
- No. There is no Gmail or Outlook connection. You forward (or paste) only the emails you want checked, through a filter you control.
- How accurate is it?
- Every verdict lists its signals and the raw facts from YouTube, Twitch and Steam, so you can disagree. Multi-key requests are never auto-approved. The final decision is always yours.
- What happens to the emails?
- The original source is deleted after 90 days; the extracted facts and your decisions stay in your history. Sender addresses go into a shared database that is never published as a list.
- Is a free Gmail address a scam signal?
- Alone, no. Most small creators use one. It only matters combined with other signals, such as a big channel that lists a different contact address.
