'Ends up paying him double': Greedy business owner tries to scam IT guy, IT guy scams him right back


It's often said that you shouldn't meddle with things you don't understand and, by extension, you shouldn't mess with the people who handle the things that you don't understand either. If you've managed to get a contractor in to handle something you can't or aren't willing to do or understand, and they deliver on that product, you'd do your best to pay them the agreed price. After all, we've already established you don't understand that thing, so why are you so certain you've got the upper hand here? That thinking is the kind of thinking that lands you with 33% of a website.

Still, short-sighted business owners like this only have one thing in mind: profit. They're basically just a real-life Mr. Krabs, always chasing that short-term dollar bill with complete negligence, blind to the consequences of their own actions. 

This owner didn't manage to get one over on this contractor, who had ensured that final steps were required before their payment, getting a big payout over a longer period.
