I recently noticed that 1,[redacted] DKK was deducted from my account. I am feeling confused and upset about this situation. I was under the impression that I would have a free month of premium access and then pay only [redacted] DKK per month thereafter. The sudden deduction of 1,[redacted] DKK has left me feeling lost and frustrated. I would like a refund for this amount as I do not wish to continue with the premium subscription if it means paying such a large sum upfront. It's upsetting that I was not informed about this beforehand.

I recently closed my account, but I now wish to reopen it. Unfortunately, I believe there was an issue with receiving emails from LinkedIn to my email address. When I attempt to log back in to reactivate my account, I am informed that my email is not recognized. I did not receive any account closure email either, so I am unable to follow any links provided there. I have filed a support case, but I am unable to check the status as I am currently unable to log in.

I have been a long-time user and advocate for LinkedIn, comparing it to the professional version of Facebook. I'm a recent Master's graduate at 41, transitioning careers, a homeowner with government-subsidized tenants, and a mother to a brilliant 2-year-old. I am currently facing a mid-life crisis as my expenses surpass my income and I cannot afford a membership. I am utilizing LinkedIn to network with STEM professionals for my new job and to prepare for the launch of my business, Do Right Enterprises. Any assistance in upgrading to Premium or receiving additional free monthly connections for the holiday season would be greatly appreciated. I am eagerly anticipating my first paycheck after three weeks, but it is already allocated to my mortgage, food, car payment, and heating bill. Your help would be truly appreciated.

Hello,
I received a message yesterday while applying for jobs stating that my LinkedIn account has been restricted. As I am currently laid off and actively seeking employment, this restriction has hindered my job search efforts. I assure you that I am familiar with LinkedIn's policies and will adhere to them more diligently in the future. This is the first time I have encountered such an issue and I am eager to rectify it promptly. Finding a job is crucial for me to support my family, and any delay in resolving this matter may have significant consequences.
I have already submitted my Driver's License as proof of identification. Kindly review the information and lift the restriction on my account at your earliest convenience. Your prompt assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this urgent request and I look forward to positive news soon.
Best regards.

I recently created a LinkedIn account, and after a few days, it was restricted with a message stating that it violated the Terms of Service. I added only a few connections and nothing else. I submitted my driver's license to verify my identity, but received an email stating my account was permanently restricted. I then created a new LinkedIn account with a different email, only to have it restricted again after a few days.
I'm not sure what steps to take next. Should I contact LinkedIn for clarification or is there a simpler resolution?
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm Paul O'Brien, a 70-year-old individual. Recently, someone created a LinkedIn account for me as a joke to modernize me, but I never wanted it. I used to have a Yahoo account, which I deleted. I've tried to send messages regarding this issue multiple times with no response. The person who created the account without my consent is no longer a friend, and I lack any details about this account. I urgently need assistance in having it removed. Kindly help.
My new email is [redacted]

I'm seeking assistance regarding our business page on Oil Connect linked to my account (Madison L.). We previously had nearly 2,[redacted] followers. Following a post celebrating an industry leader from Forbes Magazine for his exceptional leadership, we noticed a sudden drop to zero followers and all our posts were removed. It appears this action was linked to that particular post. I would appreciate guidance on recovering our account and receiving clarification on any posting guidelines to prevent a recurrence of this issue. Thank you.

Hello, I am Jess Stevens (formerly Holmes), and I am facing an issue with my restricted account. After starting recruitment activities in a new region, Saudi Arabia, I lost access to my account, which is extremely important to me. Although I can provide identification, I do not have it with me currently and may have to wait until the new year for assistance. I am feeling upset and in need of support to have my account unrestricted. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a LinkedIn account under the name Nitin Chauhan with the email [redacted] I signed up for a premium membership trial on November 7, [redacted], which I cancelled on December 7.

I recently attempted to log in after not using the platform for several years. I couldn't recall my password, so I chose the "forgot password" option. However, when I entered my email address, I received a message stating that it wasn't recognized. In an effort to create a new account, I completed the sign-up form, only to be informed that my email was already in use. I am confused by this discrepancy between the two messages regarding the status of my email address.

In the age of social media, it has become common for individuals to use the internet as a shield to launch insults and jeers at others, whether they know them personally or not. These attacks often stem from the attacker's own feelings of inadequacy and jealousy towards the person they are targeting. Social media provides a platform for these individuals to spew their negativity.
The power of the delete button is immense. If someone is leaving negative comments on your personal page or forum, do not hesitate to delete them. If the behavior continues, consider unfriending or blocking the person entirely. If you lack the control to delete their comments, blocking them is a viable solution to shield yourself from further negativity. By doing so, the online bully will have to redirect their toxic behavior elsewhere.
Do not feel obligated to endure online harassment. By deleting or blocking individuals, you are safeguarding yourself from unwarranted jealousy and insecurity projected by others. This approach is particularly effective for individuals who are not close to you or are mere acquaintances. In situations where blocking is not an option, confronting the person directly can be vital in addressing the issue.

I noticed a profile on LinkedIn for Gregory Foresman stating he is the Chief of police of Williamsport, Lycoming County, PA. He is not currently a police officer; I believe he retired over a year ago. It is against Pennsylvania law for someone to falsely claim to be a police officer. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. Thank you.

I haven't used my account since September. I no longer use the email address associated with it ([redacted]) and when I tried to update my information today, I received an error saying there was no account linked to that email. I also attempted to use other email addresses I've previously used, but they weren't recognized in the system.

I'm having trouble accessing my account as it shows a restriction. I have created a new profile, but I require my old one to access my contacts.
I'm uncertain about the situation. My emails are [redacted] I believe I closed it once, but I want to recover it more than the others. I also used [redacted] and [redacted]
The account with the most contacts is the one causing the restriction. It's requesting my driver's license for verification, but I'm hesitant to provide my ID information.
Can anyone provide assistance?

Dear LinkedIn Team,
I am currently facing restrictions on my account. I am a Canadian citizen of Hungarian origin, currently looking for job opportunities in Hungary to be closer to my Mother.
I have deleted my North American LinkedIn account and created a new job search profile under my Hungarian name, Szántó Mariann, for my upcoming job search in Hungary.
I need guidance on which passport to use for identification. My Canadian passport shows I was born in Hungary, while my Hungarian passport displays the original spelling of my name.
I would appreciate the quickest resolution to this matter. Thank you.

About a month ago, my LinkedIn account was compromised by hackers. I took immediate action by changing my password and enabling two-step verification with the Microsoft Authenticator app on my phone. Unfortunately, the app got accidentally deleted by a T-Mobile store employee while attempting to troubleshoot my device, and I can't retrieve it. As a result, I am now locked out of my LinkedIn account since I can't access the two-step verification code. Despite reinstalling the app, I can't proceed without the code from LinkedIn. This situation is incredibly frustrating. I've tried looking for solutions online without any luck. I would appreciate any guidance on how to regain access to my account. Thank you.

My LinkedIn account, recently created by myself as Joy Sheng, has been restricted for reasons unknown to me as a first-time user. I believe this may be an error on your end. On December 12, I submitted my government-issued ID, specifically my Alberta Health Card, in response to an automatic email from LinkedIn with the case number [redacted]82. I am eager to utilize LinkedIn for my job search and would appreciate it if you could review my account and remove the restrictions. Thank you for your assistance in advance.
Sincerely,
Joy Sheng
