Not sure if trying to &quot;trap&quot; the liar is always the right way to go. Once I had to work with a freelance web master and we were trying to cancel his contract and make him transfer the domain name to us (an association I was working for). I confronted him by asking politely for a written copy of his contract because I thought he was lying about the length of the contract. He was insulted and claimed there was a verbal agreement several years ago. I don&#x27;t know if he was right or wrong about that, but after that he would make up things about basically anything (such as, that changing the owner&#x2F;registrar of our domain would cause his other customers&#x27; files to be deleted etc.). We now offered him money to break out of the &quot;contract&quot; early, but now he was already stuck in his lies. If he would say that it was technically possible to move the domain name, he would also expose his earlier lies.<p>After almost a year of arguing with him, he offered to transfer the domain before the end of the &quot;contract&quot;. But for &quot;technical reasons&quot; it had to be done after the hosting company had shut down the web site and e-mail, which caused some downtime for us. In retrospect it would have been much easier if I hadn&#x27;t questioned him in the first time.
