I received a notification today that I won $5000 and while running a search online about the company, I found this complaint board, FILLED with these same complaints about the same company. I am asked to circle the #25 as the answer to an addition problem, and then to sign the release form and return it.
The letter reads,
"UBI Payment Servies Approved by Accounting Department Statement Value $5, 000.00 Check

My name, this document is to serve as your official certification that you are a rightful owner of the $5, 000.00 Payment Number UB**. This is an official document confirming your status regarding the guaranteed payment whose distribution is now pending.

Then, it has a barcode and a release form. It looks very official. It has a return envelope for air mail."
