That is, unless the whole thing / > phone number is a scam. 0845 is a UK (+44) revenue sharing, non-geographical number. The caller is charged at a nominal local rate and either the callee or their agent receives a very small, per minute payment. The 08xx numbers don't give a large enough cut to run a successful scam based on phone charges alone; 084x codes are usually used for free helplines and similar, that need to cover the cost of infrastructure. Scams operating on UK numbers will almost invariably be 09xx (previously 089x) premium rate numbers which incur a very high cost per minute. So while Alessandro's repeated posts are incredibly irritating and off-topic, there's no reason to worry about being scammed unless you're stupid (or sleep deprived) enough to give him your credit card number or other personal details.
