Such a scummy thing to do - sadly effective and all too common. Also illegal depending on your legislation.

I think many hotel booking sites do this too, "A user just booked a room!", to entice you to hurry up and close the deal on that "special rate?".
"Booked 2 times for your dates in the last 12 hours"

"1 other person looked for your dates in the last 10 minutes"

Booking.com is the worst.
