LinkedIn
Reviews and Complaints

I just woke up one day when I couldn't log in to my account. They sent me a message saying I submitted content that violates their policies.

If someone posts anything, it's just a post; all you have to do is to bounce back by posting information. You should refrain from stopping access of a person who has used your site to build up their business following. One day's post in over 10 years cannot lead a legitimate company to permanently restrict access. But they advise and send users messages directly, telling them this is not right, just like Facebook, X, TikTok, etc.

So, this is akin to stealing our contacts and information.

A following of about 20k businesses, built up over 10 years, can't be taken away from an individual simply because you claim he or she posted inappropriate content in a one-day activity. This is so very sad.

As previously mentioned, every three days a security check pops up on my page. It requests that you log in again.

Afterward, you must complete an exercise involving the orientation of an animal image. Following this, you are asked to connect with a third-party service provider and provide your license information. This whole process results in getting logged out of your page for a day. Sadly, this cycle repeats every three days.

Communication with LinkedIn appears near impossible. There is no direct line available for calls or emails; to secure assistance, one needs to be logged into the problematic page. There's no way of contacting them when you're logged out. There is no phone number and no chat function beyond the platform.

Being logged out means staying logged out. This disregard for a significant issue is unacceptable and consistent. Their support is non-existent, making LinkedIn substandard. Regretfully, they dominate the market forcing users to continue with them.

Despite the recurrence of this problem, it doesn't seem to be a priority for them to fix. I'm genuinely frustrated.

long story short it seems like I have forgotten my password, and well I would assume I would be able to do a simple password reset, right? wrong, the process has been confusing and is dragging things on.

instead of doing a simple password reset I am forced to verify my identity, cool, not a problem I can do that. so I went through that process.

I then received an email saying:

"Your recent request

We received your request to take a second look on your account restriction.

If we find your account doesnt go against our Professional Community Policies, well put it back on LinkedIn.

Thank you for your patience while we look into this."

so instead of gaining access to my account I have to wait however long, WHY? I just simply forgot my password but seems like I can't do a simple reset password. no matter what I do, I have to go through the process of verifying my identity.

also fining customer support is a whole different adventure, the numbers google provided, dead end, the support page, I have to login to access, but I can't log in...that's my issue, so I can't get a hold of anyone, unless I log in.

all the help pages from Linkedin sends me down the same road, verifying my identity.

the only email I can find is this one, from the "PISSED customer" website. so hopefully this gets the right person or team, so I can get the help I need, and hopefully it won't be a pain staking process that it's been so far.

anyways, my question is, how long do I have to wait to get access?

is there a way I can gain access faster (I need access ASAP)? what needs to be done?

please get back to me asap, I am on a time crunch and need access to my Linkedin.

thank you,

Hello,

I was blocked from Linkedin after removing a cell phone number from two-step verification to sign in to my Linkedin account.

As I'm mostly at home, and we are not to drive because of some environmentalist radicals, I don't need a mobile phone. So I can't scan a QR code to verify my identity, and my immediate family doesn't want to, because of too much online fraud and manipulations of information observes lately.

I left a landline for contact info on my Linkedin page.

I keep being asked to verify my identity, when the box 'don't ask for verification on this device', or something similar was ticked. There has to be more consistency and consideration for senior people, who can't afford a smart phone, and don't need one.

I deciphered the QR code shown to verify my identity on my laptop with Google, however the URL doesn't work.

I cant even delete my Linkedin profile without logging in.

When I call the Linkedin customer support phone : 1 65* *** ****, I got disconnected, after the voicemail gave me their physical address. I don't plan too visit them, and they shouldn't make me go there.

I am unable to open my LinkedIn account and also I was surprised that my username was changed to another Chinese name Joy Lin I have no idea about it and my name is Puneet Raj and I was one who is maintaining and using my account in Lincolnton and it's more than about 10 to 30 minutes like but unfortunately when I saw two days back there was I understand that my account has been compromised by somebody from China and immediately I was trying to change my password and I change the password then I was trying to change my names and everything I came to know to update my account details and everything to don't want to lose our connections in the Lincoln profile but suddenly it shows something like you know verify the identity, under here I'm available to talk over call or SMS so I was trying to recover my account but my mobile number also is not reading and no notification code comes to my account

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

I'm new to LinkedIn, I managed to create a pretty nice and informative profile when, to my surprise, I couldn't sign in anymore. When I first set up my account, I was already shadow banned as people couldn't find my profile and the link to my profile didn't work.

Now, I have no access to my profile; the site is asking me to do a security check, which I did, submitting precious photos of my passport and live selfies. Nothing has changed. Now it's still asking me to do the security check, but when I try, it tells me that I've already done it and to try again later. What is this nonsense?

I literally just opened my profile, and I already have to deal with all these issues. It's actually embarrassing for LinkedIn, a platform that is so popular and almost essential nowadays.

I'll still try to fix this and get back on the app because I need to, but beware of their approach. I'm not the only one with this type of experience on LinkedIn.
