Fake page / false credits

Hello

While adding information to a Jackie Chan film I came across a credit which didn't belong. This person  "Phoenix8" had been given a credit in the stunts department, I went to their page to see if it was just an unusual nickname for a Chinese actor. But after some research I believe this to be a fake page or at least this person (if they do exist) has been credited on a horde of films they didn't work on, as a stunt player or even as an action director. Included are several Hong Kong films I know for a fact they didn't work on and there are inconsistancies with the USA productions that lead me to believe these are also false, the film credits I checked backed up my theory.

It is possible that this is a real person and that someone else has falsely credited the to movies they didn't work on, but I think my previous theory is more likely and don't believe they should be allowed to claim credit where it isn't due.

I thought that I'd bring this to your attention and hope that the issue is resolved.

Thank you

Hi Dredderick_Tatum -

Thanks for reporting, I have now cleaned-up the page removing all applicable credits that have been unverified. 

Cheers!

@Michelle​ Someone else is credited for that role for the movie Dasara:

https://www.cinestaan.com/movies/dasara-44270/cast-crew

Supported by posters: https://www.cinestaan.com/movies/dasara-44270/images

(unreleased movie - no onscreen credits)

That last remaining credit looks fake too.

Also will this thread ever visited? https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/all-fake/61c40907add924150d17c6b9

@Michelle​ It looks like last remaining fake credit from this page is removed as well: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10543153/

It can be deleted I guess.

Hi @mbmb​ -

There is a tech issue I encountered while removing this empty name page, I have alerted the appropriate team and am working on removing it.

@Michelle​ Hello Michelle, thanks for the update, but unfortunately there are more.

Whilst updating some other martial arts films I came across some other credits that were false and did some digging. It seems they're all connected to the name Phoenix in some way, they could be more but I didn't have time on me to dig deep on all suspicous entires, but here's a list of pages for individuals and companies that (similarly to Phoenix8) have an odd variety of credits with the majority of which (some may be accurte, but I doubt it) if not all are false. The suspicious companies seem to link to all the films that these false credits have been added to.

Never Give Up Phoenix productions

Doc Miaz production

Kuen Tao production

Phoenix-la

Phoenix.A.R.

Doc Miaz

Hope this helps

Cheers
