If you have reason to believe the site is using unethical tactics such
as hidden text or links, misleading or repeated keywords, page doesn't
match the Google description, cloaked page, deceptive redirects,
doorway pages or it's a duplicate site or other spammy tactic, you can
report a Spam result to Google and they WILL act upon it if in fact
the site is somehow spamming them. http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport=
