Such an offer could be legitimate: ARIN does allow transfers of IPv4
space to "organizations that are within the ARIN region and that can
demonstrate need for such resources in the exact amount  which they can
justify under current ARIN policies."  For details, see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/resources/request/transfers.html">https://www.arin.net/resources/request/transfers.html</a><br>
<br>
At the moment, though, anyone who qualifies to receive space via
transfer also qualifies to receive space directly from ARIN, so I don't
expect a lot of legitimate transfers to occur until ARIN's free pool is
exhausted...<br>
