You should certainly bill them your standard hourly rate for any
research you have to do. That's what all the big guys do.

I assume malicious actors have a tool to look at IP space for dormant
numbers, if it historically has not been active its better for
spoofing? Is this the case or is this an instance of watching too much
NCIS?
On a side note, this request was not from FBI or DHS, it was a
different .gov entity, They initiated contact, we verified externally
they were actually government and who they say they are. Ran it past
our Lawyer. The odd thing was, they wanted our Tax ID before they
proceeded since we can generate a bill for our time on the issue. This
completely red flagged it for me, but apparently this is not uncommon?
