I RECIEVED A LETTER FROM UBI PAYMENT SERVICES TO RECIEVE A $5, 000 CHECK AND I YET TO RECIEVE IT. I THINK IT'S REAL MESSED UP FOR THESE PEOPLE TO DO PEOPLE THIS WAY. I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING FUNNY BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A PHONE NUMBER TO REACH THEM.

I received a letter today stating I was guaranteed to receive $5000.00 if I returned the release form as instructed. I requested me to sign it and comply with the official contest rules listed over. I did not get it until I read some infomation on the internet. I did not see the very light writing on the back of the page. You couldn't read it unless you were looking very closely. I live in Georgia. It seems this scam is all over the place now.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I received a letter TODAY, June 1, 2009, from UBI Payment Services, PO Box 4805, Robina Town Centre QLD 4230, AUSTRALIA.

The letter states: Guaranteed Delivery Statement, Approved by Accounting Department, Statement Value of $5, 000.00 Check. "This is a very important statement. You are guaranteed to receive $5, 000.000 if you return the release form as instructed and fulfill the contest requirements. The Accounting Department has retained the services of a reputable courier to deliver the check for $5, 000.00. This is a contest with additional tiebreakers to determine the winner. This contest of skill is not a lottery, game of chance or gambling. Please do not delay in responding. There is no purchase, payment or contribution necesary to enter or win. This document is to serve as your official certification that you are a rightful owner of the $5, 000.00 Payment Number UBI5. This is an official document confirming your status regarding the guaranteed payment whose distribution is now pending. Respectfully, Joe Ryan, Accounting Department."

At the bottom of the is a tear-off "Release Form". There is a simplistic "Puzzle" question and 2 boxes to check: 1. I wish to claim the $5, 000.00 check and 2. I, confirm and authorize you to deliver the $5, 000.00 check at my address. Please sign below to accept official contest rules listed over. There are official rules on the back, HOWEVER, they are written in an opaque ink that is illegible. This letter is requesting YOUR SIGNATURE. By signing, you are allowing your legal signature to be used in fraudulant manners of which you will not be aware!

Although the letter uses strong language such as "guaranteed", it is a Bona-Fide SCAM! DO NOT SIGN.

I am putting this complaint on this website for publication with hopes that someone reading it has the legal power to prosecute this company for sending out such lies, and using the postal system as its vehicle to do so! I am also turning this media into our local Post Master. I am hopeful to stop this type of misrepresentation from filtering into the household of an innocent, who does not have internet access and is a trusting soul! This type of media is cruel during this economy and promises superficial hope, where none exists.

SENT MY ELDERLY MOTHER A PROMISE OF A CHECK FOR $5000. ALL SHE NEEDED TO DO WAS "SIGN" THE RELEASE. I AM GLAD WE GET ALL HER MAIL.

I RECIEVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING I WON 5000 AND WOULD RECIEVE MY CHECK AFTER I RETURNED THE RELEASE FORM AND ITS NOW BEEN AT LEAST A MONTH AND HALF BUT I HAVENT RECIEVED ANYTHING! SCAM UH!
