How so?

wdc.com was registered by, and uses the same nameservers as westerndigital.com.

www.wdc.com is 129.253.170.35, ARIN thinks
OrgName: Western Digital Corporation
OrgID: WDC-7
Address: 8105 Irvine Center Drive
City: Irvine
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 92718

NetRange: 129.253.0.0 - 129.253.255.255
CIDR: 129.253.0.0/16

The site even supports SSL, and has a verisign-issued SSL cert issued to
'Western Digital Corporation'. Looks perfectly genuine

From the original email, however, the chances of receiving a free *DRIVE* look
nonexistent at best. Backup and recovery *SOFTWARE* perhaps. Then there is the
whole question of whether the class action suit has any relevance to non-USA
