Cluster of fraudulent pages

Today, I spotted on the page for Mewgenics (https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt29266137/) that the cast list doubled in size, featuring a handful of supposed actors I never heard of. I contacted the director, Tyler Glaiel, who promptly informed me that he has never so much as heard of any of them, so I put in a request to be removed. As I did that, I noticed that they has suspiciously similar credits -- as in, completely identical across the board. All but one are replicating the credits of D.G. Maloney (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3138157/?ref_=tt_cst_3).

This is obvious trolling, so I request that these pages be deleted and whoever created them be blocked.

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3184193/?ref_=tt_cst_4

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0352794/?ref_=tt_cst_5

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3347896/?ref_=tt_cst_6

Looking further, it seems like they are an amalgamation of credits for D.G. Maloney and Vincent Amorosi (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3833677/?ref_=tt_cst_2).

I would honestly revert all the contributions this perp's account has made.

Hi SamuelHorton-

Thank you for reporting this issue! Upon further investigations, I have now removed all the sabotage information added by this account to all these 5 name pages pointed by you and ACT_1. The changes will be live on the site shortly for each. 

These name pages will remain on the site as they have valid credits and we won't remove them. But all information that was added by that account has been removed. 

I have also taken further steps to prevent this account for this continuous behavior. 

Thanks again for reporting!

Cheers!

Hi @Maya,

Thank you! They're real people, huh? No worries! I am perturbed why somebody would replicate credits like that, as that is very obnoxious -- and with Mewgenics of all things.

In any case, I consider this the best resolution possible.

@ACT_1​ Yes, thank you. Mewgenics is 100% a real game, D.G. Maloney is a real actor and I believe Vincent Amorosi is real, too. The rest is far more dubious.
