Secondly, if someone tells you that a person wants to kill you (or cheat you or rob you etc) you are NOT allowed to be mekabel but you ARE obligated to be cautious, and look for signs with the understanding that it might be for no reason but that it might be true.

I am aware of the “Respect him, Suspect him” clause. But does this only apply when the person tells you means it l’toeles?
