Who called from 4176893215

The number was from Missouri and it was a recording that stated "please wait for a brief message" and then they stated the wrong business name.  CLICK

Caller used an automated system to dial and played an automated recording. They are required to have a human on the line when the phone is answered. They also claim to be a government grant writing service, but legitimate grant writing services would not use illegal means to try to recruit, so you can rest assured this is a scam.

This phone number 417-689-3215 calls our business line all the time and never says a word when I answer.

You need to get after your local law enforcement - the phone companies will NOT respond to private individuals.  Folks have figured out how to "dial out" on disconnected or non-assigned numbers. The phone companies CAN be forced to provide actual names and addresses, but only by law enforcement.  Once "word gets out" that this is an "unhealthy" practice, it will stop - but not until.
