Fake actor

Hello. I want to report a fake actor, I don't know how to do that. Someone has created his own page by pretending to be an actor. In this page this person use two different names, and he is not even an actor. He didn't play in these series, for example, Fear The Walking Dead, The walking dead: World Beyond, Game of thrones. I searched him on instagram, and he pretends to be an actor or a singer by posting real trailers. It's surprising that IMDb doesn't checks when someone adds an artist to this page.

Hi Hutcrash -

 

Thanks for your report.  Our editors are currently sorting through "Rob de Groot's IMDb page to remove the inaccurate information, and prevent further violating takeover behavior.

 

The applicable changes should be live on the site shortly.

 

Cheers!

Thanks you, the problem is 'solved', but this guy have done it again. He take again an actor's name and put his info like if he ( photo's guy) were an recognize actor,  adding fake info into IMDb

The real Ken Watanabe is a Japanese actor. To English-speaking audiences, he is known for playing tragic herocharacters, such as General Tadamichi Kuribayashi in Letters from Iwo Jima and Lord Katsumoto Moritsugu in The Last Samurai, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Among other awards, he has won the Japan Academy Film Prize for Best Actor twice, in 2007 for Memories of Tomorrow and in 2010 for Shizumanu Taiyō. He is also known for his roles in Memoirs of a Geisha and Pokémon Detective Pikachu.

Good catch but the stunt actor is legit, what isn't is the image being used (the stunt actor is white) and the person who added his image there  probably tried to steal  the stunt actor's  page by  merging credits, i have seen a lot of fake people do that by trying to  get a better (lower)  "imdb number" his real page is  here

I will add the real stunt actor an image on his profile and i hope and admin moves the profile and the official resume image to the real page i linked above

infact now that i have investigated a bit more, it looks like the page i linked was changed too, it belonged to someone called Ty Mahany before and all his credits were removed and  this Tyveon guy  took control of the  imdb page and moved Ty's credit  to a newer page. I have seen this happen many times, i just don't understand why IMDb admins allow it, makes me feel like a lot of their stuff here are automated.

Yep, I feel the same. It´s quite weird because I started searching about this Tyveon L Ray on Instagram and Twitter, but there is only the fake accounts.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/RayTyveon

(The prophile photo is from that black guy too).

I doubt that Tyveon L Ray really exist.

PS. Sorry if I my english is quite bad, I´m Argentinian and I´m new in IMDb.

Thank you for your attention

https://www.instagram.com/jalenmajor/?hl=en

and this is his IMDb Page

https://m.imdb.com/name/nm9628780/?ref_=m_nmfm_nm

Like I said as directors and executive producers of shows do not like fake actors to come on and be dishonest on what they have or done now I would like for you guys to do an internal investigation on this young man and make sure that his page is taken down as soon as possible he is

Hi, it's me again. This guy have done it one more time. This time he took the name 'Ty Wells'.

I read on internet that the real 'Ty Wells' is sort of a professional dancer. Could you do something with this 'Tyveon L Ray'? He won't stop doing this.

Thank you people. ♡

(Wow. This feels as though it was borrowed directly from the Internet Research Agency's playbook.)

This time the guy stop using fake actor's names and used  his 'real name'. But in his IMDb's biography put some movies that there is no 'Tyveon L Ray' in the cast.

Link: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm1900360/

Can someone do something with this guy? He won't stop
