Even if they are a qualified expert they should still be able to convince rationally rather than just ask you to trust them.

Phrases like "Trust me", "I'm not being funny but...", "No offence, but..." along with much of the management-speak I experience everyday often indicates someone of whom to be wary.

[EDLT]

Anyone who appears to be trustworthy.

Two more for you:

1)People who insist on writing in some form of text speak which isn't even english

2)People who don't put grammar into their written english, such that reading what they have written becomes a total pain in the arse

Also another one actually:

3) People who you can just tell are writing stuff which goes against what you have written for no other reason that to cause an argument with you
