Wrong person: Casey Anthony, 43, of Darby, Pennsylvania, has been bombarded by stalkers mixing him up with the Casey Anthony, 25, of Orlando, Florida

'I can't change my name, ladies and gentlemen,’ Mr Anthony told NBC Philadelphia. ‘After the verdict that day, it went crazy.

‘It was like everybody wanted to know and wanted to comment on this Casey Anthony situation,' he added. '“Who am I to take a child’s life”?’

‘Then I’m sitting back like, excuse me? I’m not the Casey Anthony you think.’

Mr Anthony has even received phone calls because his profile page had his number, so he is now not answering any with a Florida area code.

But what makes it worse for the Pennsylvania-based Anthony family is that he has two sons who are also called Casey Anthony.

The criminal Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering Caylee, aged two, in 2008 last week in a controversial verdict by a jury in Orlando.

Jurors, the case’s judge Belvin Perry and Miss Anthony’s family have also received death threats since the case ended.

Online issues: Mr Anthony contacted Facebook, who said he can either block all friend requests or set up a new profile under a different name

Mr Anthony told NBC Philadelphia the whole situation has gone from being ‘comical and scary’ to just making him ‘outright mad’.

He spent an hour this week going through all the many unwanted requests and comments and is now screening all calls to his phone.

Mr Anthony has not yet called police but contacted Facebook, who said he can either block all friend requests or set up a new profile under a different name.

A Facebook spokesman also told NBC Philadelphia that it has systems and trained reviewers to cut down on harassing messages.
