I was recently talking to someone online and she said that she was in the Army and then she went on to tell me that she had a lump sum of 45,000$ co.i g to her but she needed my bank account routing number, asked for my social security number, and then told me that she was going to have the Army wire me the money into my account now my question;

Is this a scam?

This is almost surely a scam. Among other things:

  • Why would a stranger wire that type of money into your account if she doesn't know you?
  • Assuming that she was going to wire you money, she would NOT need your SSN to do it.

You don't say WHY she wants to give you money. Your paragraph appears to be the very definition of a scam. Run from her.
