Take legal action against whom? The CID is spoofed and the actual number is likely under a false name and changes frequently. Probably a burner phone. Good luck finding somebody to sue.

With Microsoft's clout, they could get a court order to trace the call logs and trace them.

No, you’re not understanding me. The logs will trace to a prepaid phone purchased with cash from a convenience store six months ago. No surveillance video. Nobody knows who bought it. It’s been destroyed since then. There is no way to trace it to a person, with any amount of resources. If they really want to be anonymous, it’s easy to do.
