Complaint Review: Travel Agents Direct

I recieved a phone cell phone call from a May operator number 212. Who was offering me a free plane ticket anywhere and a free hotel stay because I had purchased a plane ticket online through one of their partners. I puchased a plane ticket through travelocity.

She asked for my account number and routing number to verify that I had a open checking account. I told her that I would not give her that information that I work for a bank and everyday I see people getting ripped off because they trust other people with important information. She told me they had a Star machine (what they run checks through to verify them) and she would run the information through there to make sure my checking account was open.

I told her I could buy my own plane tickets and that I didnt need her to call back and I hung up the phone. I'm not sure this is a scam but with everything I have been tought in training with my job I knew something wasnt right.
