What is the reason you are paying it forward? Did this person need help due to an illness, injury or family issue? Something like that? Then they are still a human being and you should do whatever you can to help them. Or are you talking about driving a drug dealer around to make deliveries or something in that nature? That would be wrong.
You have to consider the exact circumstances before deterining if your action is right or wrong.
