selling my car - best-cash-offer.com

pjmurf

Hi, first time post so I hope that I'm doing this right.
I advertised my car for sale a couple of weeks ago and have just had a text with a good offer from a company that told me to visit :- best-cash-offer.com.
Has anyone ever heard of them? I'm concerned about visiting the website in case its a scam so thought that id ask the question on here. The car is advertised on Autotrader and it seems to be inferring that it is linked with autotrader. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Its a "make an admin payment first" type scam.

Very common

No link at all to autotrader.

AVOID

Motorguy, thanks for your help. It really didn't sound right and you've confirmed that I was right to question it. Thanks again!
