YOu will get blackballed either way. If you are the rat informant that
actually would be worse for business. Just tell them you are booked and
cant do it and leave it alone for someone else to do. Then you are not
involved either way and can keep your reputation as someone who does not
pose as worker on private property computer not windows and then report from
inside. You dont need to be a criminal to not like the idea. Just tell
them you are busy and cant do it.
