In searching the forums, it looks like this same guy has a pattern of creating a new account and posting here and some poor soul like me tries to get it. Here's the details of the scam:
1) He will send the code. It will completely check out on Southwest Airline site and show whatever value that should be on it.
2) Even if you use the code immediately, the code will not be any good since Southwest Operations will freeze it and cancel your flight.
3) Messages to the scammer will have a poor response ("I'm gonna take care of it! Honest!"). If it were a real card, it could be fixed immediately.
In the future, if anyone gets a Southwest Gift card, you have to request all the details of the card (perhaps a scan of the card is ideal).
I'm going to call Southwest Operations on Monday when they open and report the fraud.
Oh yeah...now I'm going to have to book a new flight too at a now higher price! What a hassle!
