This is a scam and it requires common sense.
1. Would you win a prize from a competition or draw you never participated in?
2. In this current situation, Is there anyone who just wakes up one day and hands over BTC worth $26,000 to a random discord user?
If he/she is that generous, then why do they need to send them BTC to "verify the account"?

Site is a scam. They are running a bunch of different domains with the same site design. Doing a little bit of searching on the engines and you can find out a lot of similar phone number and texts on the following sites too. Get ready for DeJa Vu if you visit the sites mentioned below:

I am sure there are more sites out there copying the same text, all of these are scams. The fact that one becomes interested on hearing that they "won" is the trick they use to fool people.

Be careful about this place. Somehow I "won" a raffle or something and it came to over $26000 USD. I had to go through verification process which took 2 days which makes users believe it is real. Then when I tried to send some BTC to my wallet it gave me an error and indicated that I had to make a deposit worth around $1k first. I NEVER had to do this with an exchange. NEVER. Here is what the Discord message looks like. This is what the Discord channel owner wrote:

wait, you sent your personal information? why would you send verification without looking into the website's background? if you would have had searched for their domain you would've seen that the website was created 8 days ago and would have saved you time and effort sending your information to a scammer.-snip
