Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I received a phone call advising me I had won 3.5 million and a 2019 mercedes from PCH-publishers clearing house in jerico, NY The caller said his name was Mike Anderson and his phone was (876) 392-9058. He had my name and phone # and said I needed to pay taxes for my prize to be released to me. The cost was $1000 and needed to be verified by the ScamPulse.com and claims dept. I said I could not afford that as a lump sum payment and he said there was a payment plan he could offer. He wanted to know my possessions including cars, bank, credit card and closest walmart, cvs, walgreens and grocery store where I could obtain a walmart to walmart transfer or a certified check or moneygram. I then collected as much info as I could without providing any. When I said let me call the ScamPulse.com he hung up.
