I am feeling frustrated. I have been attempting to combine my two LinkedIn accounts without success. After updating one account completely, I discovered that I still had another account active. Fearing the loss of information from the updated account, I tried to merge them but now I am instructed to contact customer service for help. I have dedicated numerous hours to this task and simply wish to maintain one account linked to my email: [redacted] Kindly assist me. Thank you. The old email account I no longer use was established during my time as a student at: [redacted] I suspect it was also connected to my other email: [redacted]

Dear Sirs, I am a professional with a premium LinkedIn Account under the login [redacted] Recently, I have noticed issues with test messages not being received when I try to send them before making posts in groups that I manage. Additionally, I am unable to view sample messages of templates in groups. I am a researcher at the University of Aalborg, Denmark, and I assure you that I have no intentions of misusing the platform. I have been inviting many people based on industry to build a professional group, utilizing the LinkedIn search function. If this activity has raised concerns about abuse, I apologize and am willing to adjust my actions accordingly. I kindly request that my account functionality be restored promptly. I have also submitted the same concerns under ticket #[redacted]24. I appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue swiftly. Thank you, Lars Krull

On July 17, [redacted], there was an unauthorized debit of $[redacted].96 on my Mastercard for a supposed Linkedin fee. I was incapacitated and had no access to a PC or phone at that time. The transaction appeared on my bank account as Paypal Linkedin [redacted]. I contacted Paypal, but they had no record of it. Attempts to reach Linkedin were fruitless. Despite inquiries with Westpac Mascot, Sydney, no resolution was achieved. Recently, on July 16, [redacted], another unauthorized debit of $[redacted].07 towards Paypal Linkedin [redacted] was made, totaling $1,[redacted].03. I lack account details but believe it might be under Peter Walker. The involved Mastercard ends in [redacted] and my bank has requested reaching out again. Please refund the money to account [redacted]88 or credit my Mastercard. Ensure such incidents do not recur. I have little hope for action but comply with my bank's request. A copy of this message will be shared with my bank. Thank you, Peter R Walker.

Hello, I require some assistance with my LinkedIn account. I recently started a trial of Sales Navigator while traveling with sporadic wifi. I had intended to cancel before the trial ended, however, I have been charged for a full year subscription, which is currently unaffordable for me. I was testing the service to potentially sign up as a team in the future. Could you please process a refund for the payment and deactivate my account? I may revisit signing up with a company account later on, but this trial was solely for evaluation purposes and I did not extensively utilize the service. Thank you.

Hello, I had signed up for the free Premium subscription trial, but my company has since decided to take a different direction regarding our prospecting position. As a result, we have not used any of the Premium features, yet I noticed a charge on our account yesterday. Could you kindly process a refund for this charge as we will not be utilizing the Premium subscription going forward? Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Jennifer J.

I appreciate your recognition of having the full list and acknowledging that it was imported recently. It's important to have access to the complete list to send out invitations. Please provide the entire imported list as mentioned. I wish to invite more people to LinkedIn from the complete list that is currently not available to me. Thank you for confirming the existence of the longer list. My intention was not solely to see the names of those already invited, as I planned to invite additional contacts. I already have access to the invited and accepted names, but I require the full imported list for further invitations. I kindly ask for your attention to this matter. Thank you, T.B. Southall

Hello, I signed up for a Lynda.com trial for work back in late June. I had a major project that required long workdays, leaving me no time to use the service. I attempted to cancel via my mobile before it auto-renewed but couldn't figure it out due to my workload. I have not utilized the training beyond accidentally accessing a video briefly. I am requesting a refund as I'm facing financial difficulties and was unable to benefit from the subscription. I tried to contact you through the website over two weeks ago but received no response. I hope to resolve this matter promptly. Thank you.

I signed up for a premium membership with a one-month free trial. I was charged $39.99NZD on 05 Aug, another $39.99NZD on 05 Sept, and believe the last charge is for the upcoming month. I would like a refund for the second charge as I didn't cancel in time. I attempted to unsubscribe on LinkedIn today (05 Sept [redacted]) but haven't received a confirmation email, and can't delete my credit card details. Assistance is appreciated.

Hello, I'm Linda Gooderham. I am experiencing issues with accessing my LinkedIn account.

However, it seems my account is linked to the inactive email [redacted], making it inaccessible. I am redirected to [redacted], which is also inactive. I simply want to use [redacted] for my LinkedIn and close the other accounts. I appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide. Thank you, Linda.

I filed a complaint last week about inaccurate job postings by Averon Events. The email I received asked for in-person interviews this week. It is clearly fake; the HR Director's phone number belongs to someone else. Moreover, the attachment contained a virus, which my IT department confirmed after I mistakenly opened it. Today, I noticed several new entry-level roles posted by the company, prompting concerns, especially since they are asking candidates to visit a specific address for interviews. It's frustrating that I cannot reach anyone at LinkedIn directly to address this issue. Please acknowledge this message and confirm that you are looking into the matter.

I understand the refund process may take 3-5 business days, but I need your prompt assistance. This is a crucial matter for me, and I hope for a swift response.

LinkedIn provides steps to activate a trial of the premium features through its mobile app, but unfortunately, there is no option to deactivate it using the mobile app. Many users, including myself, had to search on Google to discover that deactivation requires logging in from a computer. The lack of active communication to address this issue is disappointing, as the platform actively promotes premium subscriptions to customers without providing adequate support for cancellation. This has resulted in an unintended two-month subscription charge on my card due to not knowing how to end it. I have received notifications of attempted payments by LinkedIn despite wanting to cancel. LinkedIn should consider refunding users who faced difficulties deactivating their premium trial without a PC. The absence of a reliable customer interaction system feels like exploitation. I hope for a genuine response from a LinkedIn representative instead of an automated message. If this negligence continues, I may join others affected to seek legal recourse. An apology from LinkedIn for this inconvenience is warranted to maintain trust with its customers.

Hello, I have already reported the same issue to the hacked account desk. My name is Janos Kovago from Hungary. My account got hacked, and despite changing my password multiple times, spam emails were sent from my account to my contacts. Subsequently, my Linkedin account was suspended. I attempted to upload my ID card and driving license, but the system kept stating that the documents were unreadable. I tried multiple times, but the same issue persisted. I am confident that the jpg files are readable and someone needs to review them. This situation has left me unable to log in to Linkedin or contact support. I am anticipating a prompt response. Thank you, Janos Kovago. Mobile: +[redacted]3.

Hello, I'm writing on behalf of Comtec Translations, a UK-based company. We have multiple LinkedIn accounts, most of which were Business Plus. Recently, one of our colleagues was given a Business Premium account. The issue we're facing is that the boolean search function is only working for the colleague with the Business Premium account. I upgraded my account to Business Premium too, but the problem persists. We've tested on different devices using the same browser and it appears to be an issue on LinkedIn's end. When we use the 'Title' filter with a string of job titles separated by 'OR,' we receive an instant error message stating, "This one’s our fault. We’re looking into it. We’ve filed a report for this error. Wait a few moments and try again." It's crucial for our business, and this problem only started today. Please assist us in resolving this matter. Best regards, Joanna Mos Marketing Coordinator Comtec Translations Ltd.
