How can you spot users?

(The snake oil sellers of the world who talk a good game, but will just as soon chew you up and spit you out when it serves their interests.)

    You can't with the sophisticated ones. You test them. Not just with one test and not within a limited amount of time. Users are within your own family who you have not come to know until years of after thought. This post was edited by O-uknow at December 14, 2017 9:27 PM MST

    Can you expand on that? How do you test them?

    I'm not an authority on that but I know test them you must, over time. One test I would use that I didn't see on the net is see how they handle failure to deliver on what they expect. Do they stick around or do they depart. This post was edited by O-uknow at December 14, 2017 9:27 PM MST

    I just googled this phrase:   how do you spot people who try to use you

    I found a number of articles that look useful on that subject.
