For some people they only need to start talking and their track record lets you know they are lying. But here are a few signs to look out for.

1.      They are vague

2.     They Repeat the question before answering

3.     They Speak in sentence fragments.

4.     They Can’t or won't give full details when challenged

5.     They Play with hair or press fingers to lips.

Eye contact to NOT a reliable method of detecting a lie. The old folk wisdom goes that you can tell when someone is lying because they avoid eye contact. Psychological research has found this is not true. Not only is the folk wisdom wrong, it is misleading because people look at you more when they are lying.
