There is a person claiming visual effects credits for films that he was not involved in. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10524811
If you check the titles he’s listed on his profile, you won’t find his name anywhere in the credits of the movies he has mentioned.
He has used his IMDB profile as means of self promotion and has taken credit for the Best Animated Feature Oscar win for "Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse".
Apparently, this is the second profile he has created since he was unable to verify the same titles on his original IMDB profile, which is now all empty.
He claimed to have been involved in the production through Sony Imageworks, yet his name is nowhere to be found in the Instagram post congratulating all the crew members.

He has already been called out as a fraud by many Egyptian publications. Here are a couple in English:

Here is a Facebook post in which someone who is acquainted with "Spider-Verse" director Peter Ramsey has investigated his claims and uncovered his fraudulent attempts at taking credit for other movies like Avengers: Infinity War and Fantastic Beasts.

I urge the IMDB team to look into this matter, and prevent this individual from adding these credits into his profile. This person has no industry credits, and is based in Germany and has no affiliation with any of the major visual effects houses in the US.
