I decided to try the old software link my self..

you get 2 choices.
download and PRINT a pdf file. Fill out the form and send it

(post mark date dosent count aparantly, so if you do send the form, they can just say they did not RECIEVE it before the alloted time, "says plain as day Must be receved before a certain date NOT post marked")

Then option number 2 is enter you WD's HDD's Serial humber.

Well I have HDD's coming out of my ears.
so i grabed 1 out of the old spairs box.
enterd the serial number....
And Nothing happend...
"maby that one was to old i thought" (was a 3gb disk)

So i get the serial number from one of the 250GB WD hdd's
And Loe and behold...
Nothing happens.

What do they expect to do with just a serial Number. ?
They gonna GUESS who bought it?

Any way dosent bother me,
and for a scam email its a bit daft...

I mean it didnt ask for my address,
or My name.
Didnt make me set up an account,
Or enter a password.

So i dont know if its a scam email what do they expect to gain is a mystery
