Recently I've started seeing an ad that claims I need 2 updates for my battery and speed. It goes to a misleading page using the Android Market colors and then clicks through to a market page for RoboBoost. Obviously a crap app that pretends to tune your phone.
Does anyone know how to report the misleading use of the Android Market look and feel they're using to lure people into clicking this ad? I can't find anything on AdMob's site on how to report false or misleading advertising.

Here's the page you see if you click the AdMob ad.

Those adds are very misleading and I wonder how many people click it thinking its the phone system prompting it. Its a shame that these adds are like this and probably get many clicks from people not aware and really think something is wrong or an improvement can be made to the phones battery life.

That is an advertisement for some third party and not something from the market. I would not recommend clicking on them. If you are rooted you can install Ad Free and it will block most of those ads. If you aren't rooted then just don't click on them.
