How can you tell when someone isn't being genuine?

Having made earlier post, one rule that tends to work for, is to never trust any cold callers at the door or over the phone. I am sure there have been occaisional times where this has not worked, but on the whole it has been reasonably reliable.

Another one is to try and find if anything you are being sold is commision based. Financial services are fairly bad at this, I believe it should be made illegal for financial services to earn commision from recomendations.

On a more general note, I always listen carefully about how someone talks about other people. If they put down or talk negatively about someone else when they don't show consideration or any concern about them; there is a reasonable chance they are talking the same way to others about you
