Looking at the mother's Twitter page and blog, it's interesting that she seems to want to promote a beautiful, sweet and upbeat image (still apparently upbeat on Twitter, even now), yet calls her blog quite starkly "rich mum". Perhaps money-making is the main motivation. Not that that's a crime, of course.
Not a crime, but what my grandmother would describe as "common". 
your Gran was being kind.

Have just been looking at the daughter's Facebook page, and she posted this on 30 December 2016:
"Have you had a flight delay in the last few years over 3 hours. If you have PM me amd will get you compensated" |

Here's a BBC report from June this year about this kind of scam.
UK holiday fraudsters could face jail
"A huge rise in false claims has left travel bosses "embarrassed" by a trend which they say is a "British problem".
Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer said the fraud is "one of the biggest issues that has hit the travel industry for many years".
He added that tourists chasing false or exaggerated claims "risk ending up in jail either in the UK or abroad".
Tens of thousands of UK tourists have put in for compensation in the past year, even though sickness levels in resorts have remained stable."
You might expect a few rotten apples to commit fraud but tens of thousands in a year?!  And a false sex abuse claim doesn't even need a medical certificate (assuming that it's even needed for a fake food poisoning claim).
Dos nobody wonder why insurance companies have full time fraud investigators? |
