Does anyone know what is going on with this Worldwide Air profile email that I got from VA?

The website seems to link to a medical organization so not sure why they would have anything to do with VA and even the phone number seems incomplete.
This also came just after I bought myself a ticket and saved the new credit card I used to my VA account, not sure if that’s just coincident though.

Edit: seems most likely just spam/scam emails somehow gotten a hold of my name and email and pretended to use the VA no reply. A few red flags I noticed after taking a closer look
  1. incomplete phone number
  2. The CC email have @worldwide.com but the info email have @worldwideair.com
  3. The worldwideair.com domain is parked for sale.
  4. Email title “Profile Upgraded” suggests the email is written by someone whose English is not their first language.
The lack of call to action or any sort of urgency combined with the timing that I had indeed just updated my profile information led to me think it was legit but doesn’t look like the case the more I look at this.

Just got this exact same email as I purchase a ticket and updated my credit card, too. If this is spam, seems like they’re actually in VA systems…
