Unfortunately, there are people who shamelessly lie to others solely for their own benefit. For these individuals, there is no moral or notion of honor. Be on the lookout and don't be fooled.
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze an ambiguous situation. Be objective and be vigilant when the slightest doubt arises. Soberly assess what is happening, discarding all unnecessary emotions and taking into account only the iron facts. Sometimes people allow themselves to be deceived, succumbing to feelings and drowning out the voice of their own reason. Don't make this mistake again.
Step 2
Take a closer look at the other person to identify non-verbal signs of lying. These include, for example, too high-pitched voice, rapid blinking, scratching of the nose or ear, redness in the face and neck area, wet palms, nervous movements, shifting from foot to foot, too intent, unblinking gaze, or, conversely, shifty eyes.
Step 3
Consider if the person you are communicating with might have a motive to deceive you. A dishonest person can take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits to the detriment of your interests. If a stranger comes into contact with you and offers you something supposedly solely out of philanthropy and the best intentions, this should alert you.
Step 4
Gather information and be aware of a specific issue if you do not want to be deceived. Consult an expert or read people's reviews for a specific situation. Knowledge will help you decide on a strategy before taking action. This way you will not get into a mess and will be as prepared as possible for various turns of events.
Step 5
Try to document relationships with strangers. Then the power of the law will protect your interests. Make sure that all matters that are important to you are well covered in legal terms. At times, the mere mention of a contract or formal agreement makes fraudsters abandon their impure intentions.
Step 6
Check what you are told. There is nothing wrong with personally verifying information that is important to you once again. And you do not need to give up this right, just not to offend another person. If he does not want to hurt you, he must understand your motives.
