As servercrash was alluding to, theses people are pretty well insulated being in some third world country.
The thing to keep in mind with sites like those is that if they're unscrupulous enough to do things like this, they're also probably dirty enough to perform drive-by software installations. Next thing you know, BLAM- you've got spyware, and identity theft.

For those of you who are interested, I found an anti-Phishing extension for Firefox which is made by Google. I downloaded it, and it works great.
