Remove restrictions

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have encountered restrictions on my new LinkedIn account. I am new to LinkedIn and am not very familiar with it. I created a new Gmail account and then requested a new LinkedIn account which worked for some days. However, today I discovered that my account is restricted.

Before resigning from the previous company where I was working, I had a LinkedIn account associated with a company-registered email. But upon my resignation, I lost access to that email so I deleted my previous LinkedIn account. Subsequently, I tried to create a LinkedIn account through my first Gmail account, which didn't work.

I will provide all the email addresses I used in trying to open a LinkedIn account and request you give me access to my account through one of the emails listed below:

nooshin.n@***.net (which I don't have access to now)

n_norouzzadeh_r@***.com

nooshinnoroozzadeh@***.com

n.norouzzadeh.r@***.com (which I prefer to use for a LinkedIn account)

Kind Regards,

I am unable to send message to LI help, my account was hecked

LinkedIn - I am unable to send message to LI help, my account was hecked

Hello, during night Thursday/Friday 26th/27th September someone hacked my google account in Hanoi, Vietnam and infiltrated my LinkedIn account.

I found out Yesterday morning but your help center did not work for me as well.

I have tried to sign in with my password - it was deffinitely changed so I tried to verify mi identity: I used my mail account anna.simaskova@***.com where I got the 6digit code, then I wanted sms or on-phone verification to my phone number +421948****70 where I never got text message nor a phone call. After this I tried to report it directly but helpcenter did not work for me.

Twice I tried to log in using my passport I used to verify the account before.

My colleague Diana Karapetyan tried to resolve this on my behalf and by today she received the reply that you cannot do anything until I report it, so I try again.

I was lucky to recover my account and restrict the access to current user, who changed my name Anna Šimášková to Alice Dewulf (it is changed back already), then changed my profile picture (I have already deleted) and started to post "jewlery selling content" (from the page attached) on my professional IT recruitment account.

I have paid Recruiter Lite account and the bank card is listed there. Please contact me so that I could doublecheck All the illegal activity.

I would like to report the page Harry Winston (image attached due to suspission on cyberattack.

Thank you in advance for your help, I will be more than happy in case the police would be involved.

Original review Sep 08, 2024
I contacted Amazon chat about a hacked account. Chatted with a representative.
They asked me about a phone call or chat to talk to a computer tech, why I dont know.

I said phone call and then Im hit with a $5 fee to be connected, great! Unfortunately when this person made another unauthorized purchase on my Amazon account I immediately called and had my credit card cancelled as well as removed from my Amazon account as well.

So I was unable to pay the $5 fee!
And there was no way to contact anyone to tell them? So unfortunately I never got connected with a computer tech.
I assume to check my *** status and possibly fix the issue.

There's no way to reach anyone, and no way to reset my password

LinkedIn - There's no way to reach anyone, and no way to reset my password - Image 6

The initial issue is that their profile bubbles word count limits are severely inaccurate!

However, now I'm stuck in an endless loop of resetting my password... which keeps ending in the error message saying I can't change it to what it already was...

But yet can't log into the browser page... Only the app... But there's an error message saying to edit the profile, one needs to use the website and not the app. Most of the time the app opens automatically when I try to access the website.

Endless hours of this nonsense over two weeks!

And no way to contact anyone!

The in app support ticket, automatically goes to my personal Gmail email account, and then LinkedIn messages that's not my main email address, so they can't help me.

But there's no way to get the support ticket forms to accept my main LinkedIn email address...

Too much automatic over correcting of what I'm trying to do.

1. Update my profile

2. LOG IN

I don't have this kind of time... I was just accepted into a honors' society and they are looking at my linkedIn page NOW writing my bio!

This is urgent, and weeks later, I can't receive any assistance from LinkedIn directly.

None!!!

You can't get so big, as to being the main directory, where professional profiles are accessible to the public... And then have endless glitches and no way to reach customer support!!!

Pros:
  • Everyone uses it
Cons:
  • It is totally glitchy and therefore useless

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Try to avoid relying on LinkedIn, they website and app are full of glitches and there's zero support

I hired someone from Fiverr. He had a great recommendation on LinkedIn and he was supposed to help me with my résumé, cover letter, and LinkedIn account.

He ended up stealing $500 from me and also gained access to my email account and, in turn, my LinkedIn. I need to know what I should do.

I need to save my information on LinkedIn so I don't lose it if I have to delete my page. Thank you.

LinkedIn - Banned for calling someone unintelligent only after they insulted me

They're terrible. Liberal individuals!

What more to say? They banned me for saying 'you and intelligence = oxymoron.' Forget LinkedIn, not a penny from me in the future, you easily offended people.

One of the founders allegedly has questionable morals. It's a good time to leave!

LinkedIn has restricted my account for a third time. The first time was for putting up a Ambassador post saying it was for discriminated and then this time is for posting my startup that helps people learn about digital assets.

I have submitted multiple appeals and I have tried to contact LinkedIn support team and help center through my friend multiple times for them to tell both of us that I have to log into my account which is restricted. I have been trying to contact LinkedIn support for a month now and I have been getting beat around the bush responses and no solutions to fix the restriction or a response to the appeal saying my post is back up.

It has been an entire month. When I go to login it shows that notifications are piling up.

I would like this matter addressed

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS

LinkedIn - ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS
LinkedIn - ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS - Image 2
LinkedIn - ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS - Image 3

Recently there have been intensive attempts to log in to my account from different locations and addresses.

As a precaution, I activated two-step verification and changed my password to a strong one.

However, as a result of spam attacks, my account was unfortunately accessed by people I did not know and the rules of this application were violated by sending inappropriate messages to other users.

Therefore, you have imposed a restriction on me

I promise that I have not violated the Professional Community Guidelines and never will, and I request that my verified and completely real account be reinstated so that it does not interfere with my professional work life.

I have so far been very docile and healthy in my communication and have not bothered anyone, and it is likely that LinkedIn's algorithms, which automatically check, have made a mistake.

Please resolve this injustice as soon as possible and reactivate my account

As can be seen from the screenshots in the attachment section above: LinkedIn security team warned me about suspicious login attempts and security weaknesses.

Later, when I tried to log in to my main account, unfortunately, I learnt that there was a restriction.

My account I want to keep open: fatihemre.yildirim@***.uskudar.edu.tr e-mail address and +905317****92 phone number registered to the account, which I currently have more than 1000 contacts

Pros:
