I know NASAA shares this view. I encourage investors to visit and view the materials here to help you tell a real investment opportunity from a scam. In addition to the materials cited above, the SEC maintains a list of relevant statements, investor alerts and bulletins, announcements of enforcement actions, and other helpful materials here.

To avoid this situation, you must find a good balance between abuse prevention and abuse handling. Criminals want to test how good or bad your abuse handling is. Simply state in your AUP/ToS that you reserve the right to null route the customer’s IP address if you get credible abuse reports (e.g. botnet hosting, spammer sites, malware DNS etc). Hosts should null-route a customer’s IP address upon a credible report of spam, malware hosting, or botnet activity until they can contact the customer and find out what happened.
