Runescape Fisher Scam

This is a fisher scam. I have never played Runescape, so it is easy for me to tell it is a scam. Notice the bottom line that was a originally a link to "log into your account" it looks legit right? (I turned off the link so you guys don't accidentally go there). In the process of turning off the link, I noticed that although it says it goes to a secure server at runescape.com, the actual code would have sent you to this address: http://www.scsrxx.com/js/? Always check the URL of the page you land on before entering information. If you did have a runescape account, and got this e-mail, close the email, close your browser, reopen your browser, and physically type the URL for runescape. That way if the email was legit, it would have the same info when you legitimately went to their site.
