'Inheritance' scam

Looking for help and suggestions. My fiancé inherited 5 million. The trustee/bank has received the Ok from the court to disburse the funds.

When we tried we learned we had to pay $2500 for the COT Fees. With the bank's help, we tried to transfer the funds. We learned we needed and we have gotten an anti-money laundering certificate for $3500.

Then with the help of the bank and attempting to transfer we found out we needed tax forms for my fiancé. We applied and paid $8300 for those forms. Then we attempted again with the bank and the Central Bank held it up and now we need 18k for anti-terrorism certificate.

We are out of funds for this last certificate and are in need of help and advice. Are there any companies out there willing to assist?

The bank should have known upfront of all this in my opinion and not be like 'Oh yeah, you have to do this also'.

I have spent almost 15k and now the Central Bank wants 18K. PLEASE HELP!

Please check if you are not a victim of scam as there is no such thing as 'anti-terrorism certificate'.
