The first thing that I noticed(and I might be totally off base here,...I usually am)other than the fact he's asking for an account number,....is that he's asking for an image for print and wants a jpeg ? Why not a tiff ? And RGB not some 4 or 6 color CMYK ? Absolutely do not send him any of the requested info on your life,.........that to me is a dead giveaway that this is some sort of scam. Probably an Identity theft deal or something. Given the info he's requested he could get fake ID's and if you live in the U.S., Social Security info. Why would he want to wire transfer the funds if they are so meager, rather than cut you a check,......probably cost more to do an international tranfer than the amount of the stipend he's offering. I would decline this rather dubious offer. But I have an unusually suspicious nature. Just some food for thought.
