I did not answer the call since I did not recognized the number. CID for this number showed "CUSTOMER SERVICE." As others have reported, no message was left so I presume it is the same telemarketer.

I just got a phone call from this number. It is a scam. They want to sell you pain medication and send it to your home. I told her that this was a scam and not to call my house again. She hung up immediately.
