Would it be possible to string along and coordinate with the appropriate law
enforcement entity?

I got this email inquiring about data center space, from the most honest
scumbag, *EVER* today. Operational relevance? Well, if everyone would
turn these people down, we'd have a lot less problems to deal with. Sadly,
requests like these happen far too often, but never have I had someone come
right out and explain what they were doing up front like this without
having to dig in to it.

Hello,
I need servers to host botnet controller. Botnet controller is software
that sends tasks to bots. Bots are hosts which send spam emails to
millions of addresses. It's not direct spam but abuses on botnet contoller
are received from time to time. What is your policy in case of receiving
abuses and what is your policy in case of receiving a lot of abuses? What
is policy about spam (not direct from your ips as I mentioned above)? Is
it possible to host botnet controller in your datacenter during long-term
time?
Thank you.

The part that leaves me feeling good is that they do get abuse complaints
from time to time. There's hope.
