What is the responsibility of a freelancer for a fraudulent site?

Question

Law in IT

What if a freelancer creates a website (for example, an online store) that the customer will use for fraudulent purposes (do not send goods or sell fakes)? Is there any legal liability for a freelancer? Wouldn't he become an accomplice in that case? How to protect yourself from possible problems?

Answer 1

How to protect yourself from possible problems?

Do not work with a fraudulent client.

Wouldn't he become an accomplice in that case?

This is decided not by a random uncle from the Internet, but by the court.
In your case, becoming an accomplice is easy - you deliberately write a site for a scammer, knowing in advance that this is a scammer. Group intentional fraud.

Answer 2

Execution

Answer 3

Is your freedom worth those pennies? Are you confident in the integrity of the customer in your direction?
That's it. Forget and look for a normal project
