If you catch a "liar" in a lie, what have you got???? A LIAR! Leave the liar to his lying, and you get on with your life. It serves NO purpose to "catch" a liar....he's gonna keep right on lying.

People look to the left when they are lying or sometimes look up. They won't sustain eye contact. They use body language much more frequently when they are telling the truth. They will always include more detail when telling the truth. You can catch them out by asking questions about details and things that would have been going on in the 'scene' they are talking about. If they look to the left and pause or stumble on their words they are probably lying. Also, asking questions that you know the answer to is a good way to trip someone up.

Trying to catch a liar in his lies is playing his game. Stop playing the game. Simply behave in a manner consistent with what you know to be the truth. Playing the game is immature and unhealthy; refusing to play the game is mature and a sign of emotional strength.

Body language is a tell tale sign, but not concrete. You must keep asking questions in different ways and at different times. Write down the persons answers. eventually they will trip up on the details and switch their story a bit.

You wait, cause once a lie is told, then other lies have to be told to cover the first one...next thing you know, the liar cant remember what he(she) lied about in the first place........

Listen...it works every time. A liar, even a habitual liar, has a problem with exact facts.

Body language is the key - when they stop making eye contact with you when approached with the subject they have lied about, you know you are on the right track.

If you're face-to-face, they normally won't look you in the eye and will glance to their left. If not face-to-face, just ask a lot of questions surrounding the lie -- not accusing them, just like you're interested -- they're liable to slip up and contradict something.

the lie is always different every time they tell it. they usually can't remember word for word what they told u the first time.if it were the truth then they would remember it exactly the way it happened every time.

Ask them different questions about the same subject and relate it to the source.
