How to check whether portal user exists or not using UM API.

Question

Hi Experts,
Let us say i need to create an user account "PortalUser",i know how to create an user,setting first name,lastname,password for that.
but here before creating the portal user, i need to check whether that user exists or not.If user already exists ,then i  need to skip the below for creating the user.
IUserFactory userFact = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IGroupFactory groupFact = UMFactory.getGroupFactory();
IRoleFactory roleFact = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
IUser tuser = userFact.getUserByLogonID("PortalUser");
IUserMaint newUser = userFact.newUser("PortalUser");
newUser.setFirstName("PortalUser");
newUser.setLastName("Test");
newUser.setEmail("PortalUser.Testatgmaildotcom");
//Locale PortalLanguage = new Locale(Lang.toLowerCase(), "");
Locale PortalLang=new Locale("en");
newUser.setLocale(PortalLang);
newUser.save();
newUser.commit();
IUserAccount userAcc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().newUserAccount("PortalUser", newUser.getUniqueID());
userAcc.setPassword("test1test$");
userAcc.save();
userAcc.commit();     
Thanks in advance.

Try this code,
IUserFactory factory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();

lastName = user.getLastName();
