ADVERTISER: Tribalfusion
LANDING URL: http://a.tribalfusio... ... 3dZRxdm297
TYPE: Top banner
SITE: Popularscreensavers.com
MY LOCATION: Italy
REASON: they are selling RS gold

Easiest way to report an advert for a non-RuneScape/FunOrb game:

• Click the advert and you will be redirected to the game's page
  
• Record the URL that is now in your address bar
  
• Use this URL as the "LANDING URL" under the report

Please report any adverts which advertise games other than Jagex Games (RuneScape, FunOrb, etc.).  This includes anything from single player games to much larger games such as WoW. Jagex has expressed disapproval of fansites showing ads selling Runescape gold for money, and Tip.It has ALWAYS tried to comply with this policy - please DO report such ads and we will take action ASAP.

REASON:Unauthorized Use Of Website Material

I made an account on this website just so i could bring this to your attention. I use this site often, it is an invaluable tool, i certainly don't want someone tarnishing the name for profit. Look around on Ebay. Just type "Runescape" and you will find a few.
