What kind of number is 0345 171 9991?
0345 171 9991 is a UK 03 non-geographic number. 03 numbers are used by businesses, charities and public bodies that want a single national number not tied to one town.
Crucially, Ofcom requires 03 calls to cost no more than an 01/02 call and to be included in inclusive minutes, so a legitimate organisation using 03 is not trying to charge you a premium. As always, a spoofed 03 number is still possible, so verify who you are speaking to.
Cost to call: By law, 03 numbers must cost no more than a call to an 01 or 02 number and must count towards any inclusive minutes — they are never premium rate.

Our assessment rates 0345 171 9991 as medium risk. It sits in a legitimate UK range but there are reasons for some caution (see the warnings above). If in doubt, hang up and call the organisation back on a number you have verified yourself.
