Impersonation
I found this today when I was trying to search the Internet for evidence for an unrelated case where I suspected UPE. It is a bit too late, but I thought it may be nonetheless a good idea to notify you.
I have found this forum thread, apparently related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epesi. If I understand it correctly, someone with the handle "swim" notified the forum admin "jasiek" (probably Janusz Tylek, the founder of Epesi) of the AfD.
Then, jasiek posted there some emails, in which someone going by the name "Shawn Harrison", who claimed to work for The Wiki Inc. (a real UPE company), tried to convince the article subject to pay them for PR edits. Part of a mail by "Harrison" posted there says:
I myself have been a Wikipedia Editor for more than 15 years. You can check my Wikipedia account below:

If you are not interested in improving your company's live page then please acknowledge so that I can notify the Wikipedia community to proceed with deleting the live page and clearing our records.
Maybe you should consider putting a large notice on you user page, to deter scammers trying to exploit your name like this.
