Fake text received posing as a contact asking for money or Google gift card

Said he was very busy and needed help in buying some gift cards and to reveal the PIN on back and send a picture

Received text messages purportedly from this number claiming to be an acquaintance, and asking me to Google Play gift cards. I was immediately su****ious, as this is a variation on a reasonably well known scam. I later confirmed with my acquaintance that he had not sent the texts. I have blocked the number on my phone.
