But, here's your problem. AOL users route through always rotating proxies, so that's PROBABLY the same user. HOWEVER, there's no guarantee that they'll come from 64.12.116.x the next time they decide to scrape your site.

Given that they're likely from AOL, no - I doubt they can spoof their source IP

Do notice, however, that it's a /16 - you could technically block THAT entire range. but that might limit your audience more than you'd like.
