Default How do phishers do this?

I just received the following e-mail:

I know this is phishing and I wasn't dumb enough to click it. So then I did "right-click"->"properties" on the link, expecting to see some stupid URL, but it actually directs you to the page "https://chaseonline.chase.com/chaseonline/home/sso_co_home.jsp". Can someone explain to me how the phisher has what looks like a secure web site at a chase.com URL? Just looking at the URL, how would one know it's BS? I'm kind of ignorant on stuff like this.
