Flagging up potentially fake profiles
I have come upon a whole bunch of profiles with credits that does not seem very legitimate and would like to bring up to your attention for further investigation. Many of these names have a few things in common: they are added as 'the rest of the cast' to some known recent Iranian film while their name do not show up in the end credits of actual films or even the characters they claim playing do not exist at all in the films. Their bios seems to be written in very much the same style, using the same structure. Sometimes in their purported filmography there are titles which do not correspond to their birth date, meaning that they would have been too young to take up that position as a crew member in the film. Also lots of them are claimed to be singers/musicians in their bios, which seem to be the only true part of their profile. When I look up their name in Farsi, they turn out to be young, obscure or otherwise, djs/musicians who are seeking extra reputations. I'll try to expand this list by adding names in my own reply to this post, as they might be too many to identify quickly and in one go: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15311067/ (this is actually him: https://soundcloud.com/haji-heidar) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2144155 (he claims to be the 2nd assistant director in Rahman 1400. I just checked the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZKXi74CmIY and there are totally different people listed as ADs) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13781515 (this is the actual guy: https://soundcloud.com/sepehr-chavoshi-741871073) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13482469 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13482816 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1191283 (This one is from Tajikistan, but he's certainly played no role in Parviz, Crimson Gold and About Elly) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14524529 (this is actually him) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15081010/ (this is actually him) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12650044 (he has listed his role as a pilot in 5-6 films, none of which actually featuring a pilot!) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13182919 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13552091 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13057608 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11489530 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14300451 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15641370 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13057820 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11093491 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13828495/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13231468 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6025683 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15329470 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13653328 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13662549 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14181060 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13103038 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13132246 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13374415
