We are having some scam users going to our project, many of who are masking their ip using VPS services. Is there a list of known IP ranges from known VPS services? This list of IPs might help us identify scam users.
"Hey bro, want to make a list of all the hosts ranges so we can DDOS them bro?"
"Good idea bro, lets see how dumb people on LET are bro and post a thread saying we need all VPS IP ranges for scam detection, bro, then we don't even have to do any work."
No. But you can try to collect a list of known providers, and check their AS to find all announced IP prefixes. It's good enough for most of the use cases.

"Brilliant, bro!"
So do you have a full list of providers, including ones in exotic countries? Apparently there is no such a list.
Some ip databases like maxmind do mark out vps/hosting ip addresses. You probably want that. But remember that they are not 100% accurate.
