Default Warning- Onstar phishing email

Just a heads up.

I received an email from Onstar yesterday reminding me to down load the myChevrolet app. I just looked at the email and unsubscribed from the mailing list.

A few minutes later I received an email from
“membeseevices@a.Onstar” that had the right colors, graphics with only a few small details that showed it was a fake. Even had all the T&Cs at the bottom.

No idea what triggered the email as I just looked at a valid Onstar email but be careful out there.

Yet another reason to auto-delete everything even remotely "OnStar."

I’ve had my C8 for two weeks but have only gone around the block a few times. I’m planning on calling Onstar this week to cancel my “free trial”. Make sure “Smart Driver” (the CIA should have surveillance that detailed) is turned off and do my best to be clear and get gm to stop following me.

Not interested in ANYTHING Onstar related. I have a phone. It’s works great. I use it all the time. I don’t need another phone stuck to the dashboard of my car.

Illogical. I've seen far more fake spam emails pretending to be from other organizations than pretending to be from OnStar. Maybe I should auto-delete all my email just to be safe?
