Please help me find a comp

My post popped through the door about half an hour ago. There was a Mastercard debit card from a bank called U. There is no phone number on their website, only a email contact. I was quite worried it was fraud and posted on the bank accounts section of the forum and I also phoned my own bank to check for any potential fraud on my account. My account is fine and I got a helpful reply on the banking board telling me it is a legitimate bank.
I turned the card over an discovered it says 'prepaid' in tiny letters at the top. I have won prepaid cards twice in the past (both for £100), but they have always been preceded by an email or phonecall. I am trying to find any potential comp, but nothing is showing in the search. I know the search can be glitchy.

Thank you
. I sent them a message, but haven't received a reply yet. I looked at the section for activating the card, but this needs a registered email address. 0 -
I don't think ot is likely to be a win ...they send prepaid mastercard cards out when you apply for an account. Also read this from their about section
"U is the trading name of Ffrees Family Finance Ltd (Company Number: 7516554). U is not a bank. U is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (Number: 630255)"
