Zillow Rental Mngr - spamming LLs?

I have noticed when I use Zillow to post vacancies that I inevitably get at least one request for a Zillow application per listing.  These requesters never respond back when I engage them and they usually have super fake sounding names/details. .   My intuition tells me this is Zillow spamming LLs to get us to use there online application.  When I asked a Zillow CS person they denied it happens 

is anyone else getting these types of requests??
