I had to look it up on urban dictionary since I had never heard the term.

Definition 3. says "To turn someone in. To tell on someone"

Where ever the hell that comes from...

Thank you very much for that bit on infto.

And JustAnotherVictim, someone my office use to work with did the exact same thing. He hired a bunch of illegals to do some construction for an office building, come pay day he had the INS show up and he got his building built without the cost of labor. I think it's pretty funny, but at the same time that's a whole other level of screwing someone.

Sorry guys...

Dob means to turn someone in .... I picked it up when I was in New Zealand and Australia. You guys figured it out anyway.

Cheers,

Yea, I find it funny but I'm not sure I could do it. I guess it depends on how much I dislike the guy. :icon_bigg

Yeah...Some people know a contractor is unlicensed and then hire him and pay him the 10% upfront as required by law.

When the job is complete, they ask to see the contractor's license. Of course the contractor doesnt have one so he doest get his money.

But he's still in the country and may try to come after you. Better to deport him so his walk back will make him tired so he's weak when he attacks. :icon_bigg
