Does anyone else on here access Imagebam on an Android mobile device?

Lately the banner ads on Imagebam have - without me clicking on them - hijacked my browser to adtracker.king.com which opens my phone's app for the Google Play Store, attempting to get me to buy a game. Clicking the back button repeats the cycle a couple of times before the hijacks stop and I'm finally able to view the pic. I understand Imagebam is a free service that depends on ads but this is a new and hostile tactic for this site that makes me question what else they may be doing to us, such as installing malware in our systems without our knowledge.

Just thought I'd pass this info along.
