I've researched this a bit and it seems like it could well be legit. The company that supposedly audited him to determine if he was indeed the genuine article seems to be reputable, and certianly isn't fictitious and they say there's a 99% chance that this is indeed the real Andy Kaufman. Amazing, but not unbelievable. It's completely in character for him to do something like this.

Hoax, hoax, hoax. See Snopes' post (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/kaufman.asp) on the issue.

Here's an excerpt:

The releasing agency, PRWeb, is a free wire service that will distribute anyone's press release, about anything, free of charge. (Another recent PRWeb release — "Ambassador From Mars Receives 181,634 Spam Emails; Says 'Earthlings Are Not Ready' and Takes First Available Saucer Back Home" — demonstrates that nothing is considered too silly to be distributed on their wire service.)
