What you're calling devious is what most of us would call effective use of marketing psychology. Cialdini has written a bunch about it, and I think it's gotten into the collective marketing consciousness as the "scarcity principal". It's used everywhere else ("Act now! Supplies are limited!"), why not on the web?
