Situation.
Someone you know calls out of the blue and asks for a favor. This person, wile not a friend, is someone you're going to run into again, i.e. a co-worker or someone you do business with.
This is their story:
At one of their side jobs, their automatic deposit "put the check into an account that was closed," and as a replacement, they got sent a replacement check that is postdated the 2nd of September. Getting that check postdated means that this money can'yt be used for bills that are due on the first, obviously, which is where you come in.
The plan is for them to sign the check over to you, you deposit the check, get them the mony, and your money comes in when the check clears.
The sum is pretty small, but substantial ($250). This is someone who you're likely to see again. Anything can happen, really. You think that since they're pretty sure to see you again, they would't cheat you, but then again, you never know.
What do you do? Do you offer to help them out? Not?

If you're feeling uncomfortable about it, I would say don't do it. Something makes you feel this isn't right. I would tell the person that your funds are low at the end of the month as it is and you don't really feel comfortable moving money around at this point. If they get pissy about that, oh well, I'd say. Your response is valid.
