Someone named Djon Scott - who does not exist - has been taking random credits on my jobs, apparently used me as a reference to rent or steal expensive camera gear from a mail-rental house, has also used my photos from my website to use on his website as his own. I have requested his credits removal from my jobs with mention of fraud, however IMDB seems to be ignoring the issue. Has anyone else had these issues before? These frauds are generally using IMDB as a reference point to exist in the film industry so they can look legit enough to make expensive fraudulent sales costing people thousands of dollars, and connecting people who are professionals making us look horrible and fraudulent as well.

That's sad. Maybe one day when I'm 75 years old I'll be bored enough to sit down and screenshot all of the credits rolling at the end of all eleven films. Or maybe - just maybe - someone from IMDB might write me back asking for proof to work this out. Apparently they aren't reading what their customers are saying about them on their suggested support pages.

Or, as I said, you could post the info and let others help out....
As many folks as there are trying to add false credits, there are probably more trying to remove credits from their pages to hide work they're not proud of. Thus the need to scrutinize (and see proof of) requests to delete. No offense, I've also seen disgruntled folks try removing other people's earned and valid credits over arguments and business disagreements. So, as I said, the fraud story is of no importance, to IMDb...just whether the data is good or not and that usually comes by equipping busy page editors with good proof that the deletion is needed.
If you want to, PM me a list of credits that you know he didn't earn, by logging in at IMDb and PMing to my profile there http://www.IMDb.com/user/ur10114372/ then click "send message."
While staff can be "PM'd" via the Help desk, they don't accept requests to edit pages there. It needs to be done on the online forms (the private contact form is linked on this board's main page).
