Hello,

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please provide us with all the following details so that we can compensate you for your participation in the study.



Bank account no.:

Full name of account holder:

Name of issuing bank:

Country of bank:

Type of account (eg. current, savings):

Amazon MTurk code:

Survey completion code:


Cheers!


So yeah, uhhhh.....this kinda feels totally scammy and such. I emailed the req but yeah, something seems totally WRONG here to me
It looks like an international university requester who is trying to do payments via direct bank deposits. Still sketchy to ask for all this detail and not provide other options, but it doesn't appear to be malicious to me. Hopefully they reply and will agree to compensate through MTurk.

But...if they transfer money to your Amazon account, you can do that part on your own. It's safer that way.
