The Better Business Bureau Serving Connecticut is warning people to be on the alert for a job scam that they said involves downloading a messaging app.

The Better Business Bureau advises people to research job offers first, visit a company’s website, look up their contact information and verify the company exists and the job posting is real before you interact with a stranger.

They also advise doing an internet search with the company’s name and the word “scam” to see if anyone has reported a fake job offer.Legitimate companies don’t generally send money to new employees before work is done and they don’t ask you to return funds that you’ve already been paid, the Better Business Bureau said.

Never provide anyone with your personal information until you are sure you can trust them with it and never let someone pressure you into giving up your personal information because it’s a “now or never” offer, the Better Business Bureau warns. The warning also says to watch out for easy hires. If a company claims they want to hire you without meeting you either virtually or in-person, and if they don’t conduct a job interview, you’re probably dealing with a scammer.
