Michael Jackson said it right....

Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire universe......

Listen...

By designing a site for him/her, you are aiding him/her into pepetrating his evil act the more with that website.

The internet is wide and later on, one of your one might fall into his trap through the website.

You really need the money i understand...

But their is something we called Good Principle.

Standing for good and shurning evil no matter what, no matter the amount of discomfort it will bring is Good Principle!

We all have concience.....

Yes, it speaks to us often, it is just that we always shut it off because it always tells us the bitter truth which we don't want to hear...

Search your soul deeply for the true voice and decide what to do next.

Like Joshua said to the Israelites....

Choose today whom you will serve, as for me and my family we will serve God

The power to choose is in your hands...

Remember....

Your decision today decides where you will be tommorow.


Hope i made some impact?...

IT IS BAD. It is tantamount to aiding & abetting a crime... pure & simple. Steer clear of such jobs.

If I were a lawyer, I'd be happy filing lawsuits against you and making your life terrible. The indictments would be fun to watch. If I worked with the CID, I'd gladly stalk you to insanity. Quit immediately. That's my suggestion.
Btw, I don't see how someone would scam me via an e-commerce site. Maybe by stealing debit card details?

Ogbeni, dont do it o... if he eventually gets bursted, u r init too

There's nothing like doing the leggit

have you heard of the word ACCOMPLICE

is it a crime selling a gun to a guy legally who later commits murder with the gun you sold him?? ?

It may be legal.

However is it ETHICAL/moral

Moreover, the developer could be charged as an ACCOMPLICE when the scammer is arrested if he KNEW of his ILLEGAL business and did not REPORT to the authorities.

YES!

Is sleeping with n engaged in sexual activities with your family members, incest?

Absurd question

Yes. As long as u re fully aware of what he intends to use the website for, u re an accomplice to fraud.

But I ve this feeling deep inside of me that irrespective of the advice that nairalanders will give to u, your mind is already made up.

U go still build that site for that yahoo guy.

how much re we talking about

[color=#990000][/color]

op kindly give me your details i've got "job" for you

Sily questions on NL by kids. SMH

funny and silly @ the same time







Meanwhile do u want to know how u can enlarge your joystick and stop premature ejac?? Check my profile/signature

For an IT dude, you have violated a number of rules if you wanna do this racket. First of all, you have your pic up on display so we already know who you are. You have used a direct connection to Nairaland so Seun et al. have an IP address traceable to you. My advice, quit while you are ahead. Not worth it

You'v already collected money, and now you'r asking if it's illegal?? Ur conscience was asleep before you were paid I suppose..

Dude pls#

*ur signature even says a lot already

It is completely wrong and unethical for a professional like you particularly when you know what the website will be used for.
If this is done by you, you have become an accomplice in his illegal trade and that I am sure you don't want to be.
Remember Karma as it could just be people who you love or are close to you that could fall prey to the con game he intends playing with the website.
I beg make u no throw stone enter market oooo e fit be your person wey e go hit.
Let him take his business elsewhere.

is it a crime for you selling a car to a guy who later runs over his wife??

Are there no cops on Nairaland ? This OP should be arrested by now .bros ,you already know what is right all you're looking for is mere justification of your action .once the scammer is caught ,his accomplist will be exposed , who do you think is the accomplist ?EFCC will explain to you once you get there .

AAinEqGuinea:
is it a crime selling a gun to a guy legally who later commits murder with the gun you sold him?? ?

Would it be a crime if you sold him the gun despite his TELLING you he wants to commit suicide with it

See above response.

Hey dude, if you cannot please forward the money and the details to me let me do the website, i dont care what he use it for.

The problem with young entrepreneurs such as yourself is that you think only of the task and not the whole system. I also build websites but there are forms which must be signed by the client, a simple three page document exonerating you from any legal action due to the nature of the project, an indemnity clause and so on. It's easy to get such documents, just go to web builder sites using Google and read their terms and conditions, you'll see a blueprint for what you need. Final advice, if you are in 9ja, just relax we all know as e dey go but if you are abroad get moving immediately, time is of the essence!

@op, the guy fit use the website dupe one of ur family member in a way it will affect u, remember say God no dey sleep

Seriously? it's like giving him a loaded gun to shoot you later

If the site looks fine, put your name there in case another scammer is interested.







Then let's see between the police and the scammer who would be more interested

[color=#990000][/color]you are supposed to ask questions before rendering your services

Choi! No try am at all @all.

.. ODIKWA VERY risky..

Bad question. Bad things are clear and apparent
