On July 24, 2023, Daniel made numerous videos and community tab entries expressing concern over a multitude of fabricated messages he had received. These fake posts were made to look as though they had come from well known entities such as the FBI,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jYiOCBeoPv8</ref> the Taliban,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3gWU5_kWrY8</ref> and various news outlets,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jIazbFq_kdM</ref> to influential figures such as Saddam Hussein,<ref><nowiki>https://youtube.com/shorts/QlZPhcDQj5I?feature=share3</nowiki></ref> Joe Biden,<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellarsonnyc13/video/7259800853941538094</ref> and others.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M-fFoFKHTMA</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MFqit3WXJ7o</ref> Most of these posts were intended to scare Daniel by accusing him of a crime, or just bad mouthing his reputation. Daniel is often the subject of this kind of trolling, though he has gradually gotten less gullible to it. This incident is unique as he seemed to think that these tweets were genuine. This might be due to the fact that his long-running [[Management|manager]], [[Warren]], sent him several, if not all, of these posts, which enhanced their authenticity to Daniel. | On July 24, 2023, Daniel made numerous videos and community tab entries expressing concern over a multitude of fabricated messages he had received.
