A friend has asked me to buy £00 worth 0f Steam gift cards as a
present for her niece, and asks that I scratch off the backs to
reveal PIN numbers, and then send a photo of them to her. This sounds
weird to me, is it some kind of scam?

Correction: £300 worth.

I would be suspicious too but is it possible that it is a legitimate
way of making a purchase online using a gift card - same as you are
sometimes asked to enter the promotion code?
