Do you usually trust your gut in situations like that?

Have you guys ever had that moment when your brain says one thing but your gut screams the opposite? A couple of months ago I was about to accept a freelance project that looked perfect on paper — good pay, short deadline, everything clear. But something felt off during the call with the client, even though nothing specific was wrong. I turned it down, and later I found out the guy had a reputation for not paying people. Made me wonder if intuition really does catch things we miss.
