I have received 4 seperate AWARD NOTIFICATIONs mentioning I won anywhere from 956,420. GBP to $2,000,000
and three have phone numbers of courier services in the UK.
One is TNT in Manchester, another is International Courier in
London. One mentions a .01 tax due to nou UK residents supposedly a law was passed and payable to the Inland Revenue Board.
Is any of this legitimate? Are they all scams? Please inform me of your results with these organizations.

Yes this is a scam. I work in a place were I see these once a week and I feel so bad for those that actually get taken advantage of because they will ask you to pay some money to them and then the check will get returned to them. Dont do it and ignore those letters

Is it possible to get them arrested?
If we are not ready to put them into jail they will con many people.
