My account was recently hacked. The individual changed my profile photo, language settings, and occupation. Subsequently, my account was restricted, preventing me from accessing it. Despite my appeal, I continuously receive messages stating that I have violated Linkedin's policies. I am baffled as I am innocent and have fallen victim to hacking. I am frustrated that I am unable to regain access to my account while the hacker remains unpunished. I have taken steps to verify my identity by uploading my driver's license, but the issue persists.

Hello, I subscribed to a premium membership on June 26 to try and see if it could help me find a job. Unfortunately, I did not receive the information early enough to cancel my subscription and I was charged. I am unemployed, and 33 euros is too expensive for me. I did not want to keep the subscription, especially since it did not benefit me. Is it possible to get a refund? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, M. Mariane

I've had a LinkedIn account for a decade now, even though I don't use it often. I haven't logged in for about 8 months. Now, when I try to sign in, I'm asked for a verification code sent to my email. The problem is, the email comes in a foreign language, making me hesitant to trust it. I've attempted to contact customer support, but I need to be logged in to do so. I just want to access my account and would appreciate any assistance.

It seems I've been mistaken. There hasn't been any new prospect in my life. This could be due to the environment I live in, where there is a prevalence of poverty, unattractiveness, and substance abuse among the residents.
It's clear that Richard wasn't the right fit from the start, and unfortunately, things didn't pan out between us. Richard has even reached out to inform me of his dissatisfaction.
I need to focus on finding happiness elsewhere. Perhaps moving to a more affluent area could increase my chances of meeting someone new. I appreciate Richard's honesty and insight.
Wishing myself all the best in this new chapter.

I don't believe the information I received about a new man in your life was accurate. It may be challenging to find someone new in a city with a negative reputation like yours. It seems Richard wasn't the right match for you, as he reached out expressing his dissatisfaction. It's unfortunate that things didn't work out as you hoped. Perhaps exploring opportunities in a more affluent city could lead to better results in your search for companionship. It might be best to convey your gratitude to Richard for his honesty and move forward with a positive outlook. Best wishes in your pursuit of happiness.

Dear Customer Service,
I recently attempted to log into my account on your platform but encountered an issue that required a confirmation code sent to my email.
The problem arose because I have two email addresses associated with the account: [redacted] and [redacted] (or possibly .com, which I cannot recall).
Due to no longer working at Darewin, I have lost access to my former professional email and am therefore unable to receive the second verification code.
I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Victor Jeanneret

Recently, I discovered that an additional email was added to my account without my knowledge. Upon receiving a confirmation email for this change, I found myself locked out of my account. After managing to recover it, I noticed that all my information was gone. Despite reaching out for assistance multiple times, I received no response, leading to my account being restricted. They requested my passport ID, which I provided, but got no reply afterwards.
I am looking to downgrade from the premium subscription to avoid unnecessary charges, and to remove my Visa information. I created a new account with a different email, only to have it restricted after two days. I would like access to my original account restored, to unsubscribe from premium, and to have my Visa details deleted.

Hello,
I recently had my LinkedIn profile compromised. The individual deleted my former email address, [redacted], making it impossible for me to regain access. Despite reporting the issue to LinkedIn, I have not received a response. I have attempted all recovery options, like resetting my password, but without my valid email, I am unable to regain control of my account.
It's crucial that I recover my account promptly, as someone is now utilizing my identity online. This situation is particularly concerning on a professional platform like LinkedIn.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,
I am submitting a request due to the hacking of my LinkedIn account. Despite the security procedures and the two-step verification, I do not understand how my account was hacked.
Here is my account information:
First Name: Saddem
Last Name: Hadj Khalil
Email: [redacted]
Phone: +[redacted]5
I am still logged into the mobile application, but I cannot reset my data because the identity thief has changed the email, password, and phone number.
Here is the identity thief's information:
Email: [redacted]
Changed account name to: Aileen Ng (instead of Saddem Hadj Khalil)
Suspicious login from this IP address: [redacted].[redacted].99.[redacted]
IP address owner: Japan Nation-wide Network of SoftBank Corp.
I believe I have provided the necessary information. I ask you to technically recover my account by changing the email and phone number again in order to reset my password.
You can see that the data in my profile matches my own person and I wish to recover my account so I do not lose all the network connections I have established.
Thank you and I await your response.
Best regards

Dear LinkedIn Support Team,
I am writing to address the restriction placed on my LinkedIn account. My name is Amina Bermad, and the email associated with my account is [redacted] I have been using LinkedIn for a few days.
Recently, my account was restricted, and I am unable to access it. Living between Canada and Algeria and working in a hybrid mode, LinkedIn has been crucial for establishing professional connections in both countries. The restriction has had a destabilizing impact on my career and professional activities.
I have followed the requested procedures by providing a copy of my passport to confirm my identity, but I have not received a response or confirmation from the support team yet.
I am confident that everything is in order and am willing to provide any additional information or documentation to verify my identity. If necessary, I can connect the support team with my employer, Radoine Arsenault, who can attest to the authenticity of my LinkedIn account and its importance for my professional development.
LinkedIn plays a critical role in my professional life, and I am passionate about my work. Regaining access to my account is of great importance to me. I kindly ask you to review my claim and assist in resolving this issue promptly. I am available for any further information you might require.
Thank you sincerely for your attention and assistance.
Best regards,
Amina Bermad

My account has been restricted, and I'm not sure why. After posting a request for help, my account was restricted. Many others have had similar issues with their posts. I need assistance to restore my page fully. I understand this may not be reversible, but I hope the site can be back to normal and not restrict me again in the future. Thank you for your help, but I kindly ask for a quicker response to reconnect with friends.

My LinkedIn account got suspended and they are asking me to restore it by verifying my passport. I don't have a passport but I do have an identity card. I tried to open a new account but it got banned for some reason. I can't verify my identity without a passport. I hope someone can help me regain access to my account with over five thousand followers. Please reach out to me through the provided email addresses.

My LinkedIn account has been restricted for over 6 days now, affecting my business opportunities. I rely on it to send out 15 connection invitations daily. I have submitted my ID as requested, but no one has contacted me yet. It's frustrating as I also pay for the Sales Navigator service which I currently cannot access.
