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.

Don't 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.

Idiot.

It's plain to see Rod would get suckered. Hook, line and sinker.
