This has to be some sort of joke.

Not like you signed anything

You never shook hands and even if they make counterfeit evidence you never signed a contract, they can't do shit anon

Don't pay or negotiate. Force them to sue for it, they will probably drop the case because they'll lose money pressing it.
Send a reply advising them that you have retained a lawyer. Send a copy to your friend threatening to countersue him specifically for fraud.
