That's very clever, but does it say "Cannot find servet"?
The difficult we do right away...

Four of them, in two weeks. Asking me about something they bought on FaceBook, and the address shown in FaceBook messenger is mine. Wrong name and been living on that address for quite some time.
So, called the cops. They can't do much without the account name, and I can only report it, nothing more, since I'm not "a victim" of the scam..

Hang a "No solicitors" + "Beware of dog" sign on your door.
If that doesn't work: "Trespassers will be shot and then shot again" just to make sure they know you mean business.
The idea is totally make yourself seem misanthropic and as unpleasant as possible through signage so that people leave you alone.

It's not random locals; they know that I do not like people.
They drive an hour or two based on a "sale" on FaceBook. Me nor the cat are on FB, and we lived here for ten years. So it's not someone who gave his old address by mistake.

This is what we call a prank. Now that pizza delivery drivers and encyclopedia salesmen don't do cash on delivery, this is the modern equivalent. Or else one of your neighbor's typed in your address by mistake. Or maybe he typed it right but these 4 people failed to read it correctly or were misdirected by their gps... there are possibilities other than scam.
I'm with the sine people, but a little more purpose-built "I do not sell items on or otherwise use facebook. Someone else is falsely claiming my address on facebook and you are at the wrong house. Please go away."

Is it multiple posts? Was thinking they got it wrong just once and people are still finding it.

Depending on how unrealistically low his prices are, that could be a small percentage.
The who?
*"Sign" people, the other posts telling you to post a sign.

My neighbors also don't have a middle-eastern sounding names. It's not for the person who lived here either, that's more than ten years. It's not a mistake.

Memtha wrote: *"Sign" people, the other posts telling you to post a sign. Those are in jest. I don't need a sign, people already fear me.

True story, I was once at a restaurants with my parents, back when I was still a teenager I think, and this guy with a familiar face (probably seen him when I was still very young) walks up to our table and he's all like "Hey, how are you all doing? Been a while, still running the company?"
And my dad says to me "Sander, this is X. Normally, you really wouldn't want to meet him."
And I'm like "Why, is he a debt collector or something?"
He was
I think he was the only one in this village, so people knew him.
Probably did some work for my parents and grandparents, who were both business owners.
