It may not be illegal but aiding a scammer is totally wrong and ungodly. Allah says, Q 5 vs 2, (Help you one another in virtue, righteousness and piety; but do not help one another in sin and transgression). He may even come back to scam you or one of your relatives.

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

thats his problem... he has every right to decide his fate as we're not God.

If i dont sell it to him, he'll buy from someone else.

Ask fast food restaurants their role in obesity and the sanctity of human life as they sell you unhealthy food with no shame.

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?...

You've said it all man.

In Nigeria, the police even go as far as arresting the webhosts(If Nigerian.). Talkless of the web developer. If you have to out of being broke or something, better make sure you're both untraceable to the hosting service and the scammer client. Else get your mind ready for a jail term of nothing less than 6 months.

I believe you could be implicated as an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime. So yeah I would let it go if I were you.

is it a crime selling a gun to a guy legally who later commits murder with the gun you sold him?? ?
selling a gin legally to a guy can come under the pretext of using it for self defense, but in these case he knows the guy is a scammer and yet he went ahead and collected 50% so your question should be is selling gun legally for an assassin ok by the law and conscience?

yes it is... selling a car is analogous to selling a website... you, the seller, cant possibly know what every action of the person once they buy an item from you. The item could be a car, gun, website, knife -- all legal items. You cant control how someone later uses these items.

The seller (@op) should take the money and kick the moral police in the face, unless @op is compelled by an authoritative entity to cease operation. But unless that happens, keep selling websites.

Consider being a weapons contractor for the military - Very Ok

Supplying same weapons for criminals - Not Ok
Not to add you are actually configuring the job to their uses.

You would just be giving them the tools for the trade. Fact is they would get it done somewhere else but the nice thing is your good name would not be mentioned when their game runs out. (It surely will)

Choose the good name dear.
Re: Is Doing A Website For A Scammer Illegal? by Nobody: 1:49pm On Jun 13, 2015
The truth is, it would have been better if you don't know who the owner is nor what he wants to do with it.

Now, your job is website designing, you earn a living by designing websites for people.

If you get a JOB, you do it, what the owner of the job is going to use it for is none of your business.

It's just like a car seller, sold a car to someone and he use it to kill someone, will the car seller be arrested.

Alright MTN sells simcard to a customer, he uses it for illegal purposes, will they arrest MTN?

Provide your services to people that need it, what they use it for is non of your business as far as what you are doing from your end is legal

Knows the buyers a scammer?? is he an immortal judge and jury of this guys life?

He needs money more than he needs to be the moral police.

Are you going jail Seun for scammer ads he had no capability of knowing the full scope of the advertisers' operation? Thats why there's a disclaimer warning buyers -- to protect Seun.

I somehow expected the highlighted. I guess EVERY banker can reason the same way if approached by a scammer/fraudster/419er and voila the SOCIETY is better for it, NOT so

I thought public pressure on fast foodies is making them propose LESS unhealthy options even though the link to obesity is not so direct, innit

Stop, it is perfectly LEGAL for fast food operations to sell you unhealthy, arteries-clogging food. They have the OPTION, but not legally compelled, to respond to public pressure which affects their profits not their moral compass.

Re: Is Doing A Website For A Scammer Illegal? by dom(m): 1:57pm On Jun 13, 2015
you are an "accessory before the fact", thus making you liable for any offence he is charged with. But I doubt if our investigators and prosecutors are meticulous and intelligent enough to also go for the website designer. I feel your need for money sha. But this is clearly a crime you're committing. Be careful.

I hardly post topics. This subject was one I did very early on in my membership. It is a question that baffles Nigerians. It is a question that has defined our society.

Poster. Is it right for Julius Berger to build houses and hand over the keys to government officials as gifts. Is it right for banks to take billion naira deposits from government officials earning regular salaries. Is it right for custom officers to auction contraband goods meant for destruction. All these seemingly straight forward questions will be lost on a lot of people and I will be surprised if it doesn't generate debate when ordinarily it shouldn't.
