Anything is possible, of course, but it is overwhelmingly, vastly, immensely more likely that this is a scam, and that the source of this email or message is not actually your daughter-in-law, but instead someone else trying to get you to send them money.



In this day of easy Facetime and other video connections, you'll want to have an actual chat with your daughter-in-law to make sure it's her and she's really in need. This SE thread and this ABC News story discuss the issue further.

    Note that there are no paper tickets anymore. All tickets are e-tickets nowadays, and the booking can usually be easily checked online using the booking reference and last name (at least on the airline’s website). If the outbound leg was legit, so will the return. There could be cases of overbooking, but the airline will definitely not let a passenger in this situation “stranded”.
