Working to clear my Fiancees laptop of the nasty Garda virus that tries to scam money from people. Reminds me of a project I was approached to do on one the freelancer sites by a shady Eastern European. I was offered €15k to develop malware that would infect EPOS machinces and skim credit card details. Happily declined knowing I may get stitched up in more way than one or that it may potentially come back to haunt me.

Anyone have any interesting project offers or dealt with any shady characters as a freelancer?
