Anyone else get a lot of spam from Petfinder?

I've got a cockatiel posted on petfinder and I'm getting a lot of spam. People who don't realize this is a BIRD not a puppy, or whatever they think it is. I tried to avoid the spammers by putting down Cash only, local adopters only, but apparently they can't read.

    I've posted an ad here and there for people who know I foster and deal with rescues. If I can't get the animal listed with one of the rescues or shelters I work with and just use one of the classified ads, you get all sorts of spam and scams. It's really annoying. Like one dog a person just gave me, I listed on the classifieds while I was waiting to hear back from a rescue to get him listed, and received all sorts of scams (saying just send me your name, address, phone number, and I'll wire you $2000, blah blah, for a dog I specifically said was a rescue, needed vet reference and would need to come meet the dog before adoption....)
