A company has created an ad that they are running through Google's AdSense on our site that, in my opinion, makes it look too much like the services are offered by us.

allows publishers to generate ad revenue from Google's AdWords

AdSense/AdWords are fantastic services but as you can see, you need to
keep an eye out for problems. This is no fault of Google's, just comes
