Windows 10: Microsoft Licensing

Good morning. Over a month ago, I received a call. I didn't answer it because I don't recognized the number. It had a 855 area code. I got a voicemail stating my last four digits of my social security number and its says I need to immediately renew my Windows license key. I didn't call the number back. I thinking they maybe a phone scam. I wanted to address here. Also did anyone had a similar message. If it was a scam, how can I report it. Thank you.
