Identifying a professional scammer is almost impossible unless one uses professional tools designed for the purpose. Professional employment recruitment agencies use a comprehensive, randomised, cross referenced questionnaire compiled by forensic psychologists to eliminate undesirables entering the workplace. The same questionnaire can be used to eliminate impostors.
I recently received a few unsolicited phone calls from well spoken, grammatically correct English speakers inquiring about the online services I use. The sales pitch changed to using a "better" service. The identifying factor was the caller never addressed me by my real name or identified their employer. I use one email account using my real name for online banking, bill payments and internet services. All other emails accounts are disposable aliases. Banking, bill payments, internet services use two factor authentication. When I requested confirmation via email, the caller could not provide my real name email account and two factor authentication. I thanked the caller and hung up.

I live in Australia therefore I will use a local example.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is an agency of the Australian Government that collates and analyses statistical data on economic, demographic, environmental and social issues to support policy research and development.
The cost of purchasing a home is expensive and requires couples contributing equally to save for a deposit and make regular repayments. Once divorced, assets divided, debts paid, divorcees become lifetime renters because it is impossible starting from nothing, saving a housing deposit, purchase, reach retirement age and possess the title deeds to a home. All Australian dating sites are saturated with divorcees with children, claiming they are living the dining out and travel lifestyle. When cross referenced with the ABS cost of living statistics, the claims are bogus, therefore run when you encounter divorcees espousing lifestyle.
