Do Text Link Ads violate Adsense rules?

Do Text Link Ads (www.text-link-ads.com [text-link-ads.com]) violate Adsense rules? The Google statements I've seen are ambiguous, warning only against selling links that aim to capitalize on your page rank.

Text Link Ads says they can be used with any contextual programs, but I don't entirely trust that statement. I don't want to jeopardize my Google ads. Does anyone know for sure if Google considers Text Link Ads a violation?

Smells like a scam to me. Why do you think it's a Good Idea?

AdSense publishers are required to adhere to the webmaster quality guidelines posted at [google.com...]

Here's Google's take on selling links:

Regardless of what anyone might tell you, it's your account and your site, and the responsibility lies with you to decide whether or not there's any risk and if so, whether you're willing (or not) to take it.

Yeah, well, I'm not, at the moment. And the TLA website is so cheesy I can't imagine that the links would be anything I'd want on my site anyway.

Thanks.
