It was *not* from Microsoft. Microsoft never makes unsolicited calls. It was almost certainly a scam. Just hang up on such callers.

I got a few calls from 714-707-3350 on my cell some time back and tonight looked it up on the Internet. Some people said it was a scam, some said it was an service to avoid scams, ans some said it was from Microsoft Account Verification. I don't have an Xbox just windows 10 on my PC where I have a microsoft account that I rarely use. I don't even remember what it's for! Should I be concerened?

Looks like a tech scam. Block that number and don't give any information to them.
Remember, Microsoft never calls you to talk about your system.
You can report this tech scam to Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/reportascam

It's a scam that has been going on for years. Microsoft never makes unsolicited phone calls.
Is that call from Microsoft a scam?
