 Dan doesn't chat with fans online - Summary:
Dan doesn't chat with fans online Article:
After an unfortunate incident where a Chilean girl and her mother turned up on the Radcliffe's doorstep after being duped by someone online pretending to be Dan, Alan Radcliffe sent out this letter to Danradcliffe.com and Danradcliffe.co.uk: Quote: In the light of an unfortunate incident which happened at our home yesterday I would be grateful if you could post the following message from us.
We received several calls at our home during the morning from a girl who had travelled from Chile to meet Dan. When we explained that this was not possible she became upset. Later in the day, when Marcia and I were leaving our house the girl and her mother appeared asking again to see Dan - again we said he wasnt there and we don't encourage visitors to our house which is strictly private.
Again, the girl became very upset and distressed - and this is where it became very worrying for us as Dan's parents on behalf of Daniel's fans. She presented us with 2 emails from someone pretending to be Daniel who said they were hoping to see her in London. Daniel has said this in his newsletters and I must reiterate do not respond to anyone saying they are Daniel and certainly never travel to London to see him on the strength of a very dubious email.
Daniel never communicates with fans via the internet or email for this very reason - he doesn't want anyone to be duped into corresponding with someone pretending to be him. For his fans' sake and safety there are no exceptions to this rule and anyone claiming to be Daniel Radcliffe is, I'm afraid, lying.
We felt extremely upset that this girl had been tricked in this way PLEASE don't let it happen to anyone else. Any help you can give us on this matter to protect Dan's fans will be very welcome. | Thanks: DanRadcliffe.com!  | |

I'm more worried about the mother. Why on earth would she allow her daughter to do that in the first place? It's a bit far fetched that an actor in demand as much as he is, would have the time to meet her. Even if he did, he wouldn't ask someone to fly over from Chile.
That mother should never have allowed her daughter to be hurt by this let down.
In a way, I'm glad he wasn't in. Poor kid, Dan would've been scared to death. This stalking thing is getting ridiculous now. He's just a normal British teen, leave him alone. |

What about this? In a ploy to see Dan the girl created and wrote those letters to get Dan'd parents to feel sympathy for and let her see him??? Just a thought. | |

It's more the fault of the one who believes it. But seriously, believing it's Dan is one thing, but flying from bloody Chile to meet him is just too darn much!!! | |

That mother is so weird!!! But what really scares me is that they really thought that they were going to go meet Dan!! I mean i'll she got was an emial. Strange people. It probably freaked out Dan's parents though. | |

WoW! How stupid can someone be? Why would she let her child go half way around the word to meet somebody? I know I would not let my kids do that.(if i had any) Thats how people get in trouble and go missing. That mother is so stupid to go and do that. Why would dan send some girl an e-mail saying to come and meet him in london. I just think that is way out there and I know I would never do anything like that. | |

If I was as famous as Dan, I think I'd talk to people online, but never let them know it was me.  I'm an evil, evil girl.
But really, what idiot flies across the world to visit a celebrity. I mean, they're notorious for being late or not showing up at all. Besides, an email? Never trust an email, kids. | |
