<prompt> Human: First timer here, so please go easy.Some context to start: Im going to a wedding in Mexico the first weekend of November Thurs-Sun, and I still havent purchased a plane ticket. I only did this because I thought my companys commission check was coming to me sooner and I would just bite the bullet on high fares, but turns out the check wont come until the 31st of this month I work in IT sales btw. I have one maxed-out credit card and the bank wont let me increase the credit line, I dont have really anything in savings because I was laid off in May this year and am still in heavy catch-up mode. This wedding is somewhat of a reunion for a group of old friends who mean a lot to me and the groom has helped me get through a lot of stuff in my personal life, so I truly cannot miss this wedding. Plus Ive already been sucked dry paying for my hotel room. I know that if I just had the money now, I can pay it back at the first of the month with my commission check, but I dont want to get hosed by any fast-cash scams. I received a 1400 unsolicited loan check in the mail, Im guessing thats bad news and I should stay away, correct?Are there any safe ways to get cash quickly to where I can pay off the 1000 in a couple weeks? Thanks in advance!  <response>: dont go to the wedding
