Default is 419Legal itself a big internet scam?

I am confused. Why are there imbedded links to websites trying to get my money in all of the text of this website? It's Orwellian - The first thing I see when I come to the home page is this:

419 Legal - Internet Fraud and Online Scam Forum

where the words "internet fraud" are actually double underlined & lead not to information about internet fraud, but to a website making money off my visits.

This seems antithetical to the cause of 419 Legal.

I'm not opposed to having ads on the site, but these double underlined links seem devious; they clearly grew out of people's use of imbedded links to relevant sites. Now maybe sophisticated travelers know that these things are ads, but I was tricked, thinking that they must lead to more information on the subject underlined. And I know that people even less internet savvy will be lost in the for profit webpages that open up.
