I've gotten two calls from people claiming to be from MIcrosoft saying I had to participate in some kind of license verification review.

Today I got an email from a 'microsoft.com' email, but included this nugget:

"During these unprecedented times organizations are focusing on cost optimization. With that in mind MACK ENERGY CORPORATION has been selected by Microsoft to complete a License Augmentation Review. This review will cover all your Microsoft software and licensing agreements . Your company may be asked to provide Microsoft with a certification that you either have sufficient licenses to permit usage disclosed by the review or that you have ordered sufficient licenses."

Someone please explain why an oil and gas exploration company would be hired by Microsoft for licensing audits?

Does Microsoft really do this audits / reviews and how do we tell them apart from the scammers?
