1. Pauses in Conversation

It’s like they have to stop and think of the next line. Or they may have their story down pat, but they are struggling with the lie. Listen for the pauses that occur over and over, and they may just be spouting off a great story.
2. Stuttering

Some salesman was trying to explain why they lied to me, but all he could do was say “Uh, uh, uh….” Sure, his story sounded reasonable enough, but I knew he was lying because he wanted to cover up his partner. His stuttering gave him away.
3. Wiping the Nose

4. Looking Away

Many people have a tendency to roll they eyes while they talk, so be careful not to mix the tow movements. Someone who looks up and to the left, or squints, may be re-creating a scene in their mind, not purposely lying to you.

5. Not Using Real Names

6. Reclining Back in Chair

7. Repeating the Same Question You Ask
