My offer is a little strange.

Hey guys, I was lucky enough to get an offer at a boutique firm, but their offer letter is a little strange. They said that hiring is done on a first-come first-serve basis (i.e. whomever accepts the offer and gets in touch with the company early gets hired first), and that there is a chance that if I don't reply soon, then they will fill it up with someone else who replied sooner.

I am asking because I am still waiting on several firms. Are they just trying to scare me or should I play it safe?

Thanks

Agree with Hacks, if they do it even before you start working with them....what would it be afterwards ?...
