The routing number is the same for each individual bank. I've called my bank to get their routing number & you don't have to be anyone special for them to tell you. You don't even have to have an account there to get a routing number from them. So she confirmed which bank you bank at & then just read you the routing number she was given. That doesn't mean she knows your checking account number & its not like she can get it without you giving it to her in some way.
So yes, its a scam & don't fall for it. If you are truly paranoid it never hurts to close & reopen a new account.
