The emails I've seen are looking to rent FROM us, not TO us. I've received an email to every one of our ARIN POCs so I assumed they were scraping whois data and marked it all as spam.

I believe it is a safe assumption that requests to rent IP space received as spam (scraped and abused whois data) is for spamming. If you were to give these guys your space, you will likely find your space blacklisted on every imaginable service. And then you will find that the check bounced. And the company will turn out not to exist if you try to sue for your loss.

We also receive these requests regularly. There is probably a very good reason these people do not just use the official brokers to buy some space like the rest of us.

Not that it matters to me - we are a young expanding ISP so we are buying not selling.
