Subject: Appeal for Account Restriction Review Daniel Kanja

Dear LinkedIn Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently discovered that my LinkedIn account has been restricted, and I would like to formally request a review of this action.

I value LinkedIn as a professional networking platform and have always strived to adhere to its policies and community guidelines.

If any of my activities inadvertently violated the platform's terms, I sincerely apologize. I kindly request clarification on the specific reason for the restriction so that I can address any concerns and ensure compliance moving forward.

If there was a misunderstanding, I am more than willing to make the necessary adjustments to align with LinkedIn's standards.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to regain access to my account, as it plays a crucial role in my professional connections and career growth.

Please let me know if any further information is needed to facilitate this review. I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Daniel Kanja

LinkedIn - Problem account

They make it impossible to deal with them. They will not answer any phone calls and they will not allow me to get in their system to ask any questions. I have asked their original inventor and owner on X if he can help, and he helps with nothing, it really is disheartening and has affected my business a great deal.

Lost access to my account.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LinkedIn - Lost access to my account.

Hi, I was asked to verify my account using my government ID, and every single time I proceed with clicking 'Verify Now', it gives me an error saying that the request has already been made. I haven't had access to my account or been able to look for new jobs for a week now.

I have tried contacting every department and submitting tickets with no response. I am extremely frustrated, as this impacts me every day.

I hope there is a way to fix this error so I can proceed with the verification and regain access to my account. This situation is a significant setback in my life, and I hope to hear back soon.

My account was restricted

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LinkedIn - My account was restricted

I mistakenly clicked on a suspicious link, which in turn led to my account being hacked. The hackers then used my account to conduct activities that violated the privacy policies of LinkedIn.

Upon recovering my account, it was already restricted by LinkedIn.

I began to submit my documents to verify my identity using my National Identity Card in order to get my account back, but all that was still unsuccessful. LinkedIn ended up banning my account permanently.

Pros:
  • It is good for job oppurtunity findings

User's recommendation: To Future Customers: If you rely on LinkedIn for business, be prepared for unexpected login issues with little to no immediate support. When time-sensitive deals are on the line, their delays can cost you. Plan ahead, have backups, and don’t count on quick resolutions.

I want my information deleted. People are posting my info without my permission on FB and using it for my personal home address to threaten my safety.

Facing issue to open my LinkedIn account
Facing issue to open my LinkedIn account - Image 2

Hi, I'm Jaspreet Kaur. Actually, I created a LinkedIn account a year ago, but now when I'm trying to open it, my account isn't opening.

They're asking for a security check with government-issued ID, and when I try to click on the government-issued ID option, they're saying that I've already made a request and they'll contact me later. Please help me with this issue. I even know my email address and password for my LinkedIn account. When I use my email, they say that this email is already in use by someone else.

For your understanding, I've even attached pictures below. I don't know what's happening there.

Therefore, I request that you help me as soon as possible. Thank you.
