Linkedin has harassed and abused millions of account holders. The Linkedin supposed "AI" and other automated systems do NOT WORK - Almost all their fake customer service and fake tech support - are in India and all the problems Linkedin systems cause are ignored - Linkedin has a completely monopoly in the employement/network industry - and has millions of account holders are being coerced into uploading drivers license information and other information that are dangerous to give to strangers especially online - apparently there was a lawsuit against in which over 700 million account holders were injured by Linkedin

  • - Second LinkedIn account is restricted; verification followed selfie and license; a second account was opened for freelance recruiting tied to HRBP.
Unable to access My Second LinkedIn Account

My second linked account is restricted. I have been on my second account all day, and all of a sudden, verification is needed.

I provided the information with a live selfie and my state-issued driver's license. My first LinkedIn account is connected to two Gmail accounts: iamyourhrbusinesspartner@***.com and benefitscounselor2012@***.com.

I opened a second account using my carmen.sanders.hrbpconsulting@***.com because I wanted to use my freelance recruiting partner position, given the overlap with my recent HR Business Partner certification. My 980 mobile number is linked to my iamyourhrbusinesspartner@***.com email address.

Pros:
  • No comment
Cons:
  • No comment

Preferred solution: Access to my second LinkedIn Account.

Terrible customer service, blocked account

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Created account; entered card for a 1-month free trial; billing 05/01.
  • - LinkedIn blocks access; Persona loop prevents login and raises data concerns.

Unsure of what occurred, I created an account and entered credit card info for a 1-month free trial, with billing to start on 05/01. LinkedIn then blocked my account for security reasons, but Persona—a third-party account used by LinkedIn—keeps looping round and round.

Who knows what has occurred with my personal info through Persona?

Regardless of the fact that they can't verify me, I can't access the account due to security restrictions and can't cancel my subscription because I can't access my account. They didn't have an issue taking my credit card info!

Loss:
$89
Pros:
  • Networking and getting in touch with people
Cons:
  • Terrible customer service and communications

Preferred solution: remove the billing or allow the account set up

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Account blocked for years with no explanation.
  • - I can't access or contact support.
  • - I use a different name from my IDs, so I can't verify my identity.

My account was blocked a couple of years ago; no idea why, and I have been unable to get back in or find a way to contact customer support... since apparently, I'm not a customer.

I do business under a different name from my IDs, so that won't work to verify my identity. (Legally Elizabeth, but DBA as Betsy).

We didn't have to show an ID when registering. I just want a real person to talk to.

Pros:
  • Professional connections
Cons:
  • No way to contact them

Preferred solution: I'd like my profile back, but I can't get back in because my ID's don't match the name I do business as. I don't have another email to try to set up another account, because my email is already in their system.

User's recommendation: This was not helpful at all as I was just sent back to Linked In customer support, but you can't contact them unless you are a customer. Grrrr
