Nearly scammed again

I had an email from a friend this afternoon asking me if I could get a John Lewis gift card for her. She was having problems with John Lewis on line. She sent me all the information as to who to send the gift card to. Sad, a friend dying of liver cancer. She wrote the message to send with the £250.00 gift card. I was just going to put my password into John Lewis, when I suddenly thought, we always text each other, so why email me and it was a lot of money, so I rang her. She said I was the third friend who had been in touch asking if her message was correct. Of course it was a scam. This was late afternoon. I’ve just had another email from the scammers asking if I’d received their email with the information as to where the gift card should be sent. Of course I have deleted them.
