If you don't have money to invest to get the Big Windfall they may try to have an investor send you the money, however the check you get will be for sure a forged check.
It will be from a large multi national company and may clear at your bank for a few days even weeks or more.
All they want you to do is send them a part of it and keep the rest.. Sounds great until your bank calls and tells you the check is no good. Good luck getting your money back and banks can be strange. Seems they want you to pay back.
I got a check for $63,000.00 and could have taken out the money just before the RCMP got in the act.

Typically the Advance Fee Fraud in this case "Next Of Kin" would not use a fake cheque. AFF scams are usually a request for a fee upfront for documentation, taxes, clearances, bribes or other items.

As an aside, standing as the Next Of Kin to someone you are not related to is illegal. Next Of Kin scams are all about greed, both on the part of the scammer and the 'victim'. It's a very popular AFF format.
