How to report a fake profile?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10808131/

The profile uses a pseudonym Jun Gao Shifu Patrick Gee, which create a lot of confusion tracing his work,
which is strange if he work in film and want to be recognized.
his legal name : Surasit Mueangthang

blatantly falsifying photos. 

original: https://x.com/easternheroes1/status/551512530754211841


forensic investigation shows edits in this photo with leftover pixels behind his neck, level sweeping shows some strange details.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10808131/mediaviewer/rm698258945[EDIT: adding original photo since it has been removed from IMDB]

works in many great film but receive none of the on-screen credits.

his credits in big films should be reviewed.

Would it be possible to get clarification on the reason this exchange went private?

as we know IMDB database is provided by the masses, I do not see any breach of privacy. (No direct link/proof of person to action, could have been anyone)

While you have mentioned appropriate action has been taken, no details has been given. The direct link between the staff decision and/or the action taken is not disclosed, respecting the privacy of all party. (The changes might be from the staff, or the public)

would you consider reopen the exchange for the public record, serving as a reminder, and discouraging other falsification attempt?
