This is actually an interesting scam - they're just pointing to data sources on the e-gold page, so the SRK looks fine, and the Turing Test looks and acts like it usually does - it's a nice hack, too bad they're wasting their time on this sort of garbage instead of doing something that's really useful & interesting.
My recommendation would be to immediately switch to using SSL/https: for ALL access to e-gold; these UI hacks can be too subtle to be noticed easily if you're distracted or in a hurry. And, just like calls on the telephone, don't do business immediately with someone based on their representation of who they are or where they are in the network - get contact info, then independently re-enter it to make sure you're reaching the node they told you you're talking to.
