You're asking if this is a scam? I think you already know the answer.
(Yes, it's a scam)

Maybe she truly didn't know...
Anyway, this is a huge scam right now, called a "Nigerian Scam."
The party that contacted you is using you in order to gain access. The party either fishes your account info out of you and then sends you a fake money order or they'll send you one real money order for a small amount and several other fake money orders for larger amounts. The good money order will hopefully be routed to a certain destination with the possibility that your bank encoded your account info on the check (highly rare).
It's bad news....
