@Bethanny

All of them have two profiles! Isn’t that ridiculous?

@mbmb​

It’s okay to be a musician and have an iMDb profile like Diplo,"  "Skrillex," and more! 
It’s not okay to add yourself to movies!

@Bia2​ "It's not okay to add fake credits" is more correct.

@mbmb​ Hi! I do understand your point, but they are coming from separate unrelated accounts.

@Bia2 I have checked and deleted the new names reported, thanks!

@Bia2​ Some of the credits here are from users that seam experienced, not sure if page could have been hijacked or this person has indeed real credits. I have been trying to find the titles to see if he is indeed credited. I know @mbmb is great with research, perhaps can help if has the time. User who added credits on that page added a lot on this and this one, maybe this can also help us find if they might all be fake credits or all reliable. Will keep researching on my side, both let me know if you find anything.

Thanks!

@Bethanny​

Trust me, that is a fake profile because he didn’t act in these Persian movies!

@Bia2​ I deleted a lot of them, but as I said, the ones left are from other users, I would need end credits proof for any of the titles and maybe for the titles on the other pages I mentioned, if non of them are true, we might have found a user that submitted more than 1 of these fake pages as @mbmb mentioned before, that would help a lot with cleaning them up.

@Bethanny​ Now Check this guy “Amir Baay”! Okay so who is amir baay? Check his bio!
Amir Baay (born September 23, 2004, Tehran, Iran) is an Iranian singer, songwriter, composer, musician and actor. His favorite musical instruments are guitar and piano and he has a wonderful ability to play both of these musical instruments. He also is a professional Handball and Table tennis player and he is a well experienced reciter of Quran.

So as I tell you before
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9441129/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t40

this guy is fake trust me!

@Bethanny​ I don't see any fake indications on these two pages you mentioned (nm2110301 and nm11783000), fakers usually try to fill every piece of data in a name page like bio, links, nicknames, publicity listing etc.. (usually in a very bad way that screams fake), these pages don't have things like that. Plus nm2110301 is a very old page. So I'm sure these two pages are fine, there are reliable sources for them that goes way back to at least 2005 (link 1, link 2) so they look fine to me.

However this Bardia one has many indications of a faker. The credits you removed looked fake to me too. As I understand it, the two credits you left were added by reliable users. This Bardia guy is trying to hijack pages on Wikipedia too. (he also has many banned accounts there and trying to create fake pages). Maybe there is a page hijack or maybe these reliable users just made a mistake. I mean if this Bardia guy added some credits to some episodes first, then they accidentally added to some other episodes when using "copy from other episodes" feature. I don't know just trying to guess. Or maybe he modified existing credits falsely? Maybe you can check how they were first added?

Anyway I tried to check these episodes but credits being in Persian makes it very difficult. YouTube has all episodes but credits are cut there. I found a full episode here with full end credits (it's one of the episodes his name is currently attached): https://www.aparat.com/v/eN1xq/

Maybe Bia2 can check if he knows the language. I checked Persian writing of his name (apparently it's "بردية زاده", and tried to find it on credits but couldn't find it though I can't say 100% since I don't know the language), I also didn't see a "Barista" in the episode and it seems an unlikely role for this show anyway. So I find it unlikely the credit is real. Even if it's real, it's most likely for someone else with a similar name, not for this person. His webpage is for "Web Design", "SEO & Social Media", "Social Media Marketing", "Graphic Design", classic faker things, that's not a website for an actor.

I also tried to verify that podcast editor credit but I can't see his name in any of the podcast's official pages. Checked youtube, checked descriptions of youtube videos of the episodes, checked spotify page, checked their instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadlandpodcast/

Only mentioned people are the other 3 people on the podcast title page, no mention of this Bardia guy at all. Also I checked the accounts followed by official instagram page, and of course this Bardia guy is not followed by podcast's page while other listed 3 people here are followed. If he was really involved in this podcast's production, they would surely follow him.

@mbmb​ That is amazing, I am thinking it was probably an honest mistake from the contributor and page was then hijacked. As for now I will delete the page and if @Bia2 by any chance can confirm the persian credits maybe we can re add the correct one to a new name page.

Thanks a lot to both!!

@Bethanny​ Thanks, there was this one also reported by Bia2 above, it's surely fake too: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12812247/

@Bethanny​

As I said before, I know all the cast of Iranian projects; this guy is totally fake! I can give you more than 1,000 fake pages right now!

You can trust me with all Iranian pages or projects.

@Michelle​

Hey, so I continue reporting? Because I want to be active on iMDb like a hidden employee

Hi @Bia2​ -

The best way to report incorrect data is through our online Update form (via credit and/or title deletions), however, if you are observing patterns or there is a high volume of incorrect data observed you are welcome to continue reporting here in the community.

These fakers like to create duplicate pages: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12069547/

These titles also look fake, created to be used as a dumping ground for fakes:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13733312/ (I realized I had actually bookmarked this title months ago to report later but then forgot about it)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13901682/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13294678/

(these are all added with fake evidence links and they are simply fake, there are probably more fake titles from same source)

Hi @mbmb​ -

Thanks for these reports, the name/title pages have now been removed.

@Bia2​ Posting like this might make it hard for the staff to follow the thread. Try not to post one by one, for example you could add these last 4 replies as one reply instead.

Okay cool I do it after this 🫡

Hi @Bia2​ -

Thanks for reporting, these ineligible name pages have now been removed and the changes should be live on the site shortly.

@Michelle​ I think you forgot to remove this https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12146293/?ref_=tt_ov_st

Hi @Bia2​ -

The removal is still processing, it should be removed from the site shortly.  Cheers!
