identity theft

No, it's not about the screen credits; they're accurate. The name ANDY GASKILL and the associated IMDb account has been hijacked by someone else who is now using it for his purposes. I'm locked out of that account. In a weird way, he is turning himself into me. It's awkward.

I suggest you use this form

and be very clear what you mean by being locked out of "that account".

Is this an IMDbPro account?

Is this an IMDb user account?

Hi Andy,

Joking aisde, Is all the information on the IMDb accurate? For example, were you born in 1951 in Camden, NJ?

Yes, my bio information is accurate. But your question begs another question- how do I know it's true? I don't know how IMDb verifies user posts, presumably they do some research. When I submitted my data they wanted me to corroborate it by linking to a URL. I don't have personal ID posted on a URL somewhere; what would be on there? Birth certificate? Old paycheck stubs from Disney? I want as little personal data online as possible.

Some fields require verification and some don't. For example, a date of death would require evidence but the information contained in a mini bio would not require evidence to back it up. Anyone can update a name page or update a title page with a credit of yours. If someone added a title you worked on and identified you as a crew member, your name page would expand by that credit without anyone going to your name page.
