Yes, but outside of so-called "First World" countries, transfer costs money.
We've had some South American users mention very high rates for traffic, so
they'd like to kick people of as soon as possible. The same may be true of
Bulgaria.
For the short term, an effective way to do what they want is to use the same
approach used to block abusive spiders. You add their IP address to a list
of rules, and reload the list. It would take about 20 minutes to code the
thing from start to finish.
