How safe it is to assume whois ip network /24 belogns to same hosting company?

Question

I have online shop, on which somone is spamming massievely shopping carts. That IP belongs to a company which I found by using who.is https://who.is/whois-ip/ip-address/38.99.82.254

It states that their IP network is: network:IP-Network:38.99.82.0/24

Is it safe to assume that this network belongs to this company? So if I block by this IP mask I don't block some kind of legit ISP?

If no, then is there a way to determine what IP range should I block from this IP?

It all belongs to FieldTech, Inc. Searching for them I found this.

I more meant how safe from who.is is it to asuume that this network range belongs to them. I know it belongs to Fieldtech Inc since its in who.is. I want to know more about interpreting results of who.is – Gacek Jan 04 '16 at 19:30

@Gacek To get more information than that, you'll need to speak with Fieldtech, the netblock owner. – EEAA Jan 04 '16 at 19:38
So it's not part of who.is answear? So what is this `IP-Network` part? what does it say? – Gacek Jan 04 '16 at 19:41

The whois results show that FieldTech owns the entire /24; if it was me I'd block the whole set -- if you assume that the WHOIS data is accurate (I do, mostly). – edoceo Jan 04 '16 at 19:48
That's what I wanted to know! :) – Gacek Jan 04 '16 at 19:57
