they need your bank account routing numbers, or at least they will if you go any further with them.

Just guessing, but it seems like the fraud isn't on you, it's on someone else. E.g., someone will crack someone's brokerage account and divert the funds to their own account. They then mail a check from that brokerage account to you and you western union the funds to the scammer. When the cops track the money down, they get to you, who are or pretend to be an innocent patsy, and an untraceable WU transfer.

...The scammers are not Chinese (or even Asian) but Nigerian. They mail their "representatives" fake checks from "customers" to deposit in their personal or business accounts. Often these are written on blank check forms stolen from legitimate businesses. Provided the business whose check is abused has sufficient funds in its account, the check will initially clear (it will usually only bounce when the business receives the deposited check that it never wrote). When the check clears the "representatives" wire the amount to a bank account in another country, such as Japan, Taiwan, China, the Netherlands or the UK. By the time the fake check bounces (which can take a month), the money is already out of the country and the representative is left to pick up the losses, often tens of thousands of dollars...

seriously, how tough would it be for a white guy with good language skills to move to Nigeria and set up this exact scam?
