Never, ever compromise on ethics. 

 

a) It's wrong

b) You're straying into an area you know very little about, so you are more likely than usual to get into trouble

c) You're dealing with crooks, people you know for a certain fact that you can't trust.  That isn't good business

d) If you get caught, the damage is permanent

 

In words you'll probably screw up, or get ripped off, or get caught.  Or all three. And you still have to sleep at night.
