This is a pretty well crafted scam link.

Even bought the correct domain and everything.

Do not link your browser wallet to the domain.


This is a pretty well crafted and tailored attack that I have not seen before.

First of all, am I allowed to say "boner" in this section?  It's been a long ass time since I've browsed Collectibles, and while looking to see whether what I'm about to mention had already been mentioned I couldn't help but notice all of the fantastic threads that I've missed out on...and I'm going to admit that my subsequent state of arousal almost reached boner state.

This is not bitcoin related, but it is crypto-related and it is definitely a collectible: https:THISISASCAM//pirelli-montblanc.com/

For those of you youngins who might not even know what a fountain pen is....go look it up.  Suffice to say that nowadays it's a very niche market and some of the higher-end ones can get pricey to say the least, as they're usually hand made and have gold nibs and often some kind of other precious metal(s) on the barrel and/or nib tip. 

So whilst idly browsing the Tron subreddit and seeing what those losers have to say, I was shocked to see the above link.  Montblanc is one of the best-known premium pen manufacturers, so this isn't some kind of cheap pen we're talking about here in terms of quality.  It just blew my mind that Montblanc is somehow producing a pen commemorating Pirelli and, for some unknown reason, throwing in an NFT unique to each of the 72 pens that'll be produced.  Talk about jumping on a bandwagon.

I already contacted a fellow pen/bitcoin enthusiast about this, and hopefully he'll post here but I'm curious what all of y'all think (if anything).

Jup, OP please remove direct link from your post and I'd also like to hear who exactly provided that scam-link. Did you even "buy" that scam-NFT before posting here? If not, why posthere first if you are so convinced by it?

WARNING: SCAM LINK IN OP. DON'T ACCESS THIS WEBSITE!

Is this a scam? Doesn't work in multiple browsers /web3-wallets and there is nothing to be found on their twitter page about it or anywhere else for that matter.
Just would be cautious - did the minting work for you?

Also note, the price seems unreasonably low for a real pen from that brand.
