Macrina, It does sound a lot like something it happened to me about two months ago. It was a scam and I reported it to the authorities. Unfortunately there's not much they can do. I did not lose any money over it, but it was a loss of my precious time. Not to mention how nerve wrecking that situation was. You should never give them your routing number, or any bank information!
