Don’t like those ads in your Gmail inbox? Well, stop complaining, because they might be protecting you.

This is an email from a Nigerian scam artist featured advertisements that warn you that you might be getting scammed.

For the uninitiated, a 419 scam is when you get an email saying that someone needs to move millions of dollars, but needs your help to do it. The scammer always inevitably asks for you to send him money to cover fund transfer fees, claiming that it is in order to deposit millions in your account, a percentage of which you can keep for your troubles. This scam is called a “419″ because it usually comes from Nigeria, and 419 refers to the portion of the Nigerian penal code that addresses fraud.
