Scam email from noreply@apple.com?

I recieved this email and I got really scared. So i opened the link, filled in most of the information until i got to a point where i had to fill in my adress and everything to "certafy" my account. It was at that point i started to wonder. Then i checked the link, and there were not a single place it said "apple". And, when you go to that the link i pasted here it says it is a forbidden "server" or something... Is this a scam email, and if so, someone has to do something about this. I feel like I have a mild understanding of how things work on the internet, but imagine a 50-year-old got an email like this.

Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
