Fake Listing

I keep trying to remove myself from this fake listing, but IMDB says I have to provide video evidence that it isn’t real. How do you prove a movie isn’t real with a video?? The listing has no photos, no videos, nothing at all to support it. What is the benefit to IMDB? Why do they refuse to remove fake listings? Do they get more ad revenue based on the number of listings they have? I have paid for IMDB Pro multiple times after being mislead by staff into believing it would help me remove the fake listing. This really seems like illegal practice. I’m extremely frustrated and it has come up during job interviews when people search for my name online. Are others having this kind of problem? 

This is the fake movie listing, in which I am listed as actor and director:

JK: I am not saying that this is accurate or that you are the person who acted/directed in this video, but it appears that the title you are referring to is at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11790572/ and is found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v33-uBw3xms

The credits of the video appear at https://youtu.be/v33-uBw3xms?t=193 and it looks like someone by your name is listed as an actor and director of it.

I don't know where you go from here, but hopefully this information will be helpful.

(Note that https://m.imdb.com/name/nm9914134/ is your name page, not the title page for the film; I assume that there must be at least one correct entry on your name page.)
