Untrusted, fraudulent and unsafe are three entirely different things. Just because the browser doesn't trust the certificate does not mean it is unsafe or fraudulent. You as the end user can verify whether the certificate the browser presents is the one you installed yourself and as such whether you're talking to who you think you're talking to.
I can't control what people do with the certificates, but I'm recommending against the use of TinyCert certificates for the public web. When used as intended, only people who have themselves generated and installed the TinyCert certificates (or their associates if so instructed) will see them and click past. Anybody else should get the big scary warning and will hopefully, rightfully, heed it.
