A win?

I received a message via Twitter, I entered a comp it was for an iPhone, it did state Worldwide but was based in USA I have now found out.
It stated I had won and could not respond publically until theu announced it? they stated I would have to pay shipping fees and wanted my address.

I am not sure this is a genuine comp.

This was the content of the message:
Congratulations you are the winner of our latest giveaway! Please keep it a secret until we announce you have won, otherwise you forfeit your prize! For tax purposes all we ask is the recipient to pay the shipping fees that apply. Please respond with your shipping address if you would like to continue!

What does everyone think. Scam?

I would certainly be very cautious. 

They only have around 3 posts, that I can see, all of which are competitions.
The first competition was only created 5th Dec 2021.

I would imagine, this is just a page to harvest followers.

If it were genuine.
The terms and conditions and information about their Twitter seems good and it does state you would be liable for postage.

This Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of any country (worldwide) and Prize will only be awarded and/or delivered to addresses within said locations. All federal, state and/or local taxes, fees, and surcharges are the sole responsibility of the prize winner. Failure to comply with the Official Rules will result in forfeiture of the prize.

I would not give my card details though, as they could use them how they wish, if they aren't genuine!
If they wanted payment, I would personally want to send it via a safer source, like Paypal, a mobile number or email address, so they don't have your details to get anymore money.

Thanks Dee, No I will not give any details it sounded very suspicious, and those kinds of posts I normally look at very closely
