High volume of unusual/weird requests in the last few hours

Has anyone else experienced this?  4 people -- one with a trivial question and three not seeming to know my town but still asking for a long term stay.  I think these are some sort of scams.  Is anyone else experiencing a high volume or weird requests?

There seem to be persons without a permanent address who live on Airbnb.

 

Another reason why most experienced hosts determine a limit to the #of bookable nights for a stay.

Another reason is that many states give automatic tenant rights after x # of days. (In CA it's 28 or 30 for ex.)

Turns out, it's a bug in the Airbnb system, which listed my house in many different geographical areas. So people looking in Germany, the Netherlands, and Colorado had my house pop up. Airbnb is working on it. Thanks for your response.
