 I have some doubts that it's just spam. 
 I bought a brand new Quantum Fireball ST 3.2 and 4 months later it
was dead. Nothing special was done to the HD, it just started
developing bad clusters.

 And I'm still waiting for a replacement drive. It sure is taking a
long time. This was probably the last Quantum I bought and probably 
the last drive I bought from this importer.
