I quit LinkedIn - unsubscribed to...
I quit LinkedIn - unsubscribed to emails and yet continue to receive numerous emails directly and indirectly as a result of ever joining in the first place. Please remove me entirely from your database as per FCC rule.
Unsubscribing from email, forces me to rejoin LinkedIn and I am not going to do that.

Terrible customer service, blocked account
- - 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!
- Networking and getting in touch with people
- Terrible customer service and communications
Preferred solution: remove the billing or allow the account set up
User's recommendation: Beware and be careful before signing up

You overcharged my debit card it was...
- - My card was hacked; charged $19.99 monthly.
- - Over $200 charged total.
- - Need premium honored at $19.99 or refund.
You overcharged my debit card; it was 19.99 per month. My previous card got hacked, and now you're overcharging.
I am not happy. I have bills to pay, you know.
I wanted to get my premium back since I started getting on my feet, and you did not honor the 19.99 per month. You took over 200 dollars.
- Great connections
- Overland priced
Preferred solution: Price reduction

My account was blocked a couple of...
- - 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 ***, but DBA as ***).
We didn't have to show an ID when registering. I just want a real person to talk to.
- Professional connections
- 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

Can't get help signing in
I have sent my I D. four times so I can gain access to my account.
And, four times I was rejected with the same message. My documents show exactly who I am. There is no one to talk to to find out why my I.D.
has been rejected. WTFH Linked-in - there is no customer service at all.
User's recommendation: Do Not Use Linked-In

I changed my cell number
- - Cannot access account after changing cell number.
- - Long-time member is locked out.
- - Login issues are causing business impact.
They won't help. They will give you the runaround and make it impossible to get back in to your account.
I changed my cell number and now I can't get into my account. This is ridiculous.
I have been a member for many years and to be locked out is infuriating. Imagine all the business I am losing by not being able to log in.
- Networking
- Too many scam accounts
Preferred solution: Login access.
User's recommendation: Always add a second number

Assistance Required for LinkedIn Account Verification
- - User asks LinkedIn support to verify account; Iraqi ID (back) rejected.
- - They seek which ID forms are accepted for Iraq and how to verify.
Dear LinkedIn Support,
I am writing to request assistance with verifying my account. I have been asked to provide a government-issued ID or passport.
I submitted my Iraqi government ID, but the system did not accept it, particularly the back side of the ID.
I selected Iraq as my country, but the verification process still fails.
Could you please clarify which forms of identification are accepted for users in ***, and guide me on how I can successfully verify my account? I rely on LinkedIn for professional opportunities, and resolving this issue is very important to me.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
***

- - No direct contact options; support is hard to reach.
- - Premium member with little help.
- - Account was restricted; identity links failed.
LinkedIn refuses to help me restore my restricted account. They won't tell me why my account has been restricted or how to rectify it. They asked me to verify my identity which I did both through Persona and a notarized affidavit, but they still refuse to help.
There is no phone number, email address, online contact form or chat or any way to contact them. You have to find some round-about way to contact them if you have an issue. In my case I messaged their account on Facebook and thankfully someone responded and started a case ticket for me. What kind of a company provides no avenue to contact them?
In addition, I was a paying premium member. You would think a paying customer would at least get some sort of customer service, but not with LinkedIn. I joined LinkedIn in August 2025 and completed the Persona identity verification process at that time. I was actively using LinkedIn as Premium member to find another job as I was laid off from my previous job in August.
In October 2025 I could not log into my account and received a message that my account had been restricted. I didn't know why and also could not find any way to contact them as previously mentioned. When I finally found a contact on Facebook and received a case ticket, I eventually received an email telling me that I need to verify my identity. I tried the link in the email he sent to do so, but it led to a page that said Link no longer valid.
I responded to the non-customer service rep and asked why I needed to verify my identity again when I had just done that in August. I asked why my account had been restricted. He replied with no answers to my questions, but just re-sent the same link to verify my identity. I tried again with the same invalid link message, and this happened 3 times.
The lack of answers to my questions about why this was even happening along with an invalid link 3 times demonstrates a complete lack of competency with LinkedIn customer service. I eventually found a valid link on my own to submit the identity verification through Persona, but since I had already done that 2 months prior I received a message saying that I already submitted that and couldn't do it again. I tried to explain that to the useless customer service rep, but as with all of his other responses, he had no response other than to keep sending me the same invalid link. At one point he suggested I try to validate my identity by submitting a notarized affidavit.
So I spent $25 having the form notarized and sent it back to him. A few days later I received a response that said: "Unfortunately, due to the lack of legitimate identification, we are unable to fulfill your request. Your appeal has been denied. Regards, Eddy LinkedIn Trust and Consumer Support Consultant".
And at this point there doesn't seem to be anything further that I can do to try to resolve this.
They provide no real answers as to why this is even happening, and no real customer service. This is so unacceptable.
- Can be helpful in finding a job if you can use it
- No customer service
Preferred solution: I would like to be able to access my account and begin using it again. I would like some real answers from a real person as to why I have been locked out in the first place.
