Has anyone had someone contact them directly and want to pay directly into your checking account?

I just had a woman contact me, stating she needed "immediate dog boarding" because of a family emergency. She stated that she would deposit money directly into my checking account as soon as I gave her my checking account information. I was to pick up the dog at a "designated destination" tomorrow, as soon as I got my deposit...when I pressed her for a "meet & greet", she said she would meet me with the "certified check" at 3 p.m.....I then pressed her for a "meet & greet" again to which she replied "on Rover" that she would meet me at 3....at approximately 2:47 p.m., she messaged me and said she would have to "reschedule"....I tried calling the number directly, and it was a non existent number... Has anyone ever had this happen to you? This was my first dog sitting job, and I was really looking forward to starting with Rover!
