Of course, email Jeff as was suggested. Still, are you using a wireless network to do monetary transactions? Do you have a common internet provider? How safe are their servers? Are you sure your bank has a secure server? Only point is that most are dealing with a false sense of security. Remember back when Chase was hacked? Capital One? Best Buy? CitiCorp? JP Morgan? WaMU? I could list a ton more who were compromised. I got two letters during that hack myself.
After my post last night, I checked with a Winbox running Win 7, then another with XP and a final one with Ubuntu Linux. No problems / warning at MGA with any of them. Check the date on your computer first was my only comment. That and the browser and OS (updates) would have been one of the only variables as to why you are getting certificate warnings and I am not.
I know that an expired certificate does not automatically mean unsafe, but there is always the chance it's not the real site, and I don't take chances with my personal monetary information. I think I'll email Jeff, just to be sure.

Great advice give right below, Spa, but I would make sure the date on your computer is set properly first. I just ordered a few shirts from MGA a few days ago with no certificate warnings.
An expired certificate doesn't necessarily mean "unsafe." I set certificates at work and it does often come down to the user's computer date (month and year).
Browser and OS can also give false positives on the popups for certificates. I just checked again and Firefox / Mac (lion) has no certificate trouble there.
