I highly doubt it’s legit.

Look at the contact us link. All it has is a Gmail address. A real company will have a physical address and a phone number. These scammers are getting better and harder to tell them from legit.

It's not legit, can barely find a clapped out 170 for those prices online.

No. Looks like their last fraudulent website was shut down so they changed the name slightly. See this previous thread: https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/is-the-website-www-stihl-usa-online-legit.355789/

In the US Stihl Dealers can't sell online or they lose their license. So your either looking at a scam or possibly overseas sales.

I checked with Stihl. Their response:

The site in question is a scam, and is not an official STIHL site. We have reported the site, and are making every effort to curtail its operation, but cannot control it and therefore regrettably cannot facilitate refunds. We advise all individuals scammed by this site to immediately contact their credit company to dispute the charge. For information on STIHL products, and links to authorized STIHL dealers, visit our official website at http://www.stihlusa.com .

Yeah. I reported the site to Stihl a month or so ago, but they thought that I was a victim of a scam. I then explained it further, and they finally got the point. Their legal dept. is always busy, I am sure.

I'm sure it's a game of whack-a-mole. Stihl gets one shut down, another with a very similar URL pops up within days. Google (and others) should have an algorithm that verifies the legitimacy of similar-name sites before allowing them to be results on a search page.
