IS THIS A SCAM? What is this?????

So I came across this website ( link- https://www.kingofgym.com/products/zeuslap-15-6-inch-intel-i7-7700hq-6gb-video-card-gtx-1060-8-16-32-gb-ddr4l-ram-128-256-512gb-ssd-gaming-notebook-computer-laptop?variant=14053450186810&cmp_id=1409284945&adg_id=63987785708&kwd=&device=m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwfG0yMOG3AIVA41pCh3aMw7oEAkYBiABEgIRg_D_BwE ) while searching for a graphics card for a Computer build. The website is giving away these laptops it seems like, I thought immediately it’s a scam but I have no clue how, it never requires a credit card for my purchase because my total was $0.00. I ordered 2 of them just to see and it says my order has been placed, (attached image from phone) can anyone explain please? 

 

I’m very confused any help would be great

Well if you don't need to enter any info, and you ordered from your iPhone so the risk of malware is effectively 0. Just gotta wait to see what comes in the mail.

That looks sketchy as sh*t. I remember seeing a scam website which had the exact same UI as this website you've just shown. Especially when the discount literally makes the product "Free"...

Also noting all the specifications into the product title is kind of odd.

 

Nonetheless, if you do manage to get something out of this, you've got yourself a neat story to tell in the future. :D

I ordered something like this last month. I paid for the shipping fee, I'm still waiting and I think it's a scam.
