FAKE Credit Added to Production

Hi All,

We noticed recently that someone has falsely added themselves to our production title of movie: Madison and the Happiness Jar.

This person is adding themselves to multiple listings spanning from Australia, Canada and Middle East. Firstly it's wrong and secondly it's impossible that someone has worked on that many films around the globe during a pandemic with no travel. Hilarious! I mean he has thirteen credits listed from 2020-2021. THIRTEEN! No one works on that many projects in less than a year especially when there has been lockdowns as well... 

The profile in question is: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11710039/?ref_=pro_nm_visitcons 


I already did the correct thing of submitting to IMDb to review straight away! This is what I sent and cannot believe that the team DECLINED IT!! Normally IMDB team has been so helpful and I'm disappointed they have not done the correct thing by our production and allow this fraud to keep adding themselves to productions they NEVER worked on.

What I sent as explanation on request to remove it:

As an official member of this production and the Producer, I immediately ask this person be removed from this film and credit. We do NOT know who this individual is who has taken it upon themselves to add their name to this film that they did not have ANY involvement with whatsoever. We are happy to provide screen grab of the credit list on film as proof if needed. This is incorrect. This is false. This is misleading and needs to be removed ASAP. Our legal department representing the film have taken down this individuals contact information and will not hesitate to reach out, should they add themselves again and this not be removed. Thank you.
The response:
Reason: Unable to verify.

Your contribution has been declined.We have been unable to verify your contribution. Unfortunately we were unable to accept your submission as we were unable to verify the information provided.

How can you not verify when I am the producer? And a confirmed member of production telling you

I ask for this to be REMOVED ASAP. 

Here's a link to the film on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096ZRHYJV 

You'll notice MY NAME (Mikaela Phillips) is the only Producer listed. Correctly how it should be. I ask this to be considered as substantial proof.

Please support the truthful filmmakers on removing this fraud. It's highly unfair and we just want to be seen and heard... 

Thank you.

Hi mphillips -

Thanks for your report, all questionable data has now been removed from the IMDb page you reported.  I have also taken further steps to help prevent any future credit/data inflation on this page.

Cheers!

Hi forthehorde -

Thanks for this additional credit evidence, these remaining credits (for "Partav", "The Merger" & "Storage") have now been removed.

Cheers!

Hi forthehorde -

Regarding the earlier credits reported, unfortunately, a few were missed which is why they remained on the site. 

Specifically concerning the title and credit listings for "", this data has also now been removed from the site, as well as the name page for "Muntadher Saleh".

Thanks again!
