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.


Dont see why it would be a scam.

Its likely they cant buy the gift cards easily and
want her niece to be able to use the money for
online purchases more quickly than you posting
the physical cards to her.
