As someone who's been gifted a Steam card before, it was just my friend wanting to share the love of gaming with me. Not everyone's out to scam.
If someone's asking you to buy a Steam card, they might either want you to enjoy the vast universe of games on Steam, or there's a chance it's a scam. Always make sure you know the person well and understand why they need it. Scammers often request payment in Steam cards since they're hard to trace. If it's for a friend, they're probably just eager to get you started on your gaming journey!
