Re: [afnog] Suspicious request for IP address space

Odds are, they're looking for a willing host for a snowshoe spamming operation.

If they're asking for hosting and not only IP allocation, you might be right.

If I wanted space for something like that, Afrinic region providers would not be my first choice...particularly for the hosting. AFAIK, there are numerous LIRs in the RIPE region, particularly Romania who are more than happy to lease large blocks of IPv4 to anyone for any purpose.

They're exploring new marktes. Legitimate businesses are not the only ones scouting for cheap suppliers. Cheers, Phil
