As AlchemyHawk allready said, don't click it Wink
Although it may seem that the link is jagex.com, it probably isn't. This is a technique called "phishing" (more info here and no, this ain't some phishing-trick :p)

phishing! That guy got a skill cape in it, I am not surprised you get confused. But remember this:

Jagex will never email you. They have their own mailing system ingame for that.

Tbh, even the first thing they messed up on lmao.

"Dear Runescape player," its RuneScape Grin!

truth is, not everyone is going to like you.
you'll be beautiful to one, and ugly to another.
you're amazing to one, and terrible to another.
there will always be people who bring you
down, who disagree with you, who hurt you,
and that's normal. just hold your head up high:
for every person who brings you down, there
are more who are willing to keep you up.

they're the ones that keep you strong.

Noes, I was wrong. I get what this is. Jagex recently updated their recovery system.

This means that you now can recover your account by mail. This mail is a legit one. It means that someone knows your emailadres and that it is linked to your account. Jagex send this to you to let you recover your password.

How is this a threath? If the person that knew your mailadres also knows the pw of it, he could change everything.

My suggestion: Change your emailadres to a very unknown one.
