They are as reliable - and as dangerous - as any other method of meeting people. The danger lies in the individuals, not the site itself.
Dating sites like Yahoo Personals and Match.com allow people to post information about themselves for others to view. The site has no control over whether or not that person is telling the truth or is a decent person, so you should use the same caution you use when meeting people at a bar or through friends.
Most sites offer a "double-blind" communication system, so that you can trade messages with other people without them knowing your real email addrtess. Also, most sites are pretty strict about the pictures they will allow to be posted, so you won't be shocked by vulgar naked pictures of strangers.
So use caution, but don't be afraid, these sites can introduce you to many quality singles. Try Match or eHarmony, they tend to have the best success rates.

The sites themselves are reliable and not dangerous. Some of the people that post on them are another story.

They could be a bit of both if you don't watch yourself
