Do you trust a person who resorts to saying "trust me"?
Or is it a cue for 'watch out...'?

"Also, look for giveaway speech patterns. Interrogation specialist Stan Walters listens for telltale phrases that suggest his subject is working overtime to appear credible. When someone emphasizes a statement by saying, “Honestly,” “Believe me,” “Frankly,” “Trust me,” “You’re not going to believe this,” or “Why would I lie?” he’s telling you that he doesn’t really believe his own words."

@4meAndyou I do agree with that...BUT it is not entirely true in all situations or with all people...as many of those words and phrases or often part of localized speech and dialect depending on where the person is or is from. It's good advice, but also not 100% reliable. You have to use discretion and common sense when following it.
