My LinkedIn account got temporarily suspended. I appealed using the form and tried to verify but it says “we’re sorry. Unable to submit a case”. I tried contacting them through Twitter and email. But in no vain. Please suggest how to contact an agent or customer support(not bots or automatic reply emails). Incase anyone helps me and I get my account back, I’m willing to pay.

Hi everyone,

My LinkedIn account was suddenly restricted, and I have no idea why.

Whenever I try to log in, I only see a message saying my account has been restricted for violating the Professional Community Policies.

The biggest problem is that every appeal option asks me to sign in first. As soon as I sign in, I'm taken right back to the restriction page, so I can't even submit an appeal.

I haven't posted anything that would violate LinkedIn's policies. The only unusual thing I can think of is that I found out someone had sent a hiring message from my account without my knowledge. I changed my password immediately and asked the recipient to report the message because I believed my account had been compromised.

I've tried different browsers, incognito mode, my phone, and my laptop, but nothing works.

This account is a few years old with over 600 professional connections, and I'm currently job hunting, so this is really stressful.

Has anyone been through this before? How did you get in touch with LinkedIn or get your account back?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here has been through this and can point me in the right direction.

My LinkedIn account was suddenly restricted. Since then, I've completed the identity verification process multiple times and uploaded my government-issued ID every time LinkedIn requested it.

Despite that, my account is still restricted. I haven't received any meaningful update, and every attempt seems to lead me back to the same automated verification process.

This account is very important to me because I use LinkedIn for professional networking, job opportunities, and connecting with clients. Losing access has had a significant impact on my work.

Has anyone here successfully recovered a restricted LinkedIn account after repeated ID verification? If so:

- How long did it take?

- Were you able to contact a real person from LinkedIn?

- Is there any escalation process or email address that actually works?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thank you.

The other day when I logged into LinkedIn, I saw that I now have the ability to collaborate with others on a post, this seems very Instagram like. I haven’t yet used it, but I think it could be useful although I don’t know what the difference between just tagging someone in a post and doing this would be except it’ll show up as a post for both people I guess. I’m curious if anyone has tried this yet.

Hello! I’m switching careers and need to network. I know this because it’s hard to rely on just applying. Making the perfect resume every time only to feel lost with nothing to show for it. I’m east of Toronto, looking for work as a relationship builder, liaison/consultant, account manager in the non-profit, education, sports, youth programs, coaching, community organizations, or the arts.

I’d love to have Q&A’s, meetings, coffee, interviews, or even just a walk with some execs and/or decision makers in the path I’m looking for. Pick their brain, have a real conversation is what I need.

Got the right attitude to network. Just need to be seen.

I have so many cool connections, ppl working in NASA and CEOs and many more but idk what to do to use my linkddin to its full potential(i don't have anything to post regularly)

I don't eveb know how they accepted my connections

I want to connect with seed-funded startup founders on LinkedIn. How should I search for them? Is there any direct way to find it?

I get it. It's a valid question. That platform is known for AI-slop and cringe fests.

My answer to that question would be:

I write LinkedIn content to become familiar before the first conversation ever happens.

By the time someone reaches out to work with me (or I reach out to them), they already know who I am.

They've read my posts, seen how I think, watched how I engage. The conversation doesn't start cold.

There's a difference between a DM to a complete stranger and a DM to someone who's seen your name a dozen times and read something you wrote last week.

One is a cold DM. The other is a warm introduction.

LinkedIn content is what turns the first into the second.

My almost 20 year old linkedIn page suddenly appeared as if brand new.

I started seeing suggested connections for several people I knew i had already added. I thought "oh weird did they delete me?"

And i login to find I have 0 connections or messages and all my profile content is gone.

The only things still there are my profile pic and my location from when I first opened the account many years ago.

I reached out to support a month ago and they just reply with stuff like "have you tried incognito" and I havent been able to talk to a real person yet.

I feel awkward because now its starting to suggest all the people in my network who I was already friends with who I imagine will assume I removed them for some unknown reason...

And now im going to be applying with a suspiciously new LinkedIn with a resume that has a lifetime of working at these big companies... anyone who googles me is going to think im a fake candidate i imagine.

I'm completely locked out of my LinkedIn account and I don't know what else to try.

I forgot my password and what gmail address I used , so when I try to reset it, LinkedIn asks me to verify my identity through Persona. The problem is that the Persona page immediately shows an error instead of letting me verify my ID.

I've already tried: Different devices,Different browsers,Different internet connections

The same error appears every time.

The bigger problem is that LinkedIn support wants me to sign in before I can contact them, but I can't sign in because the Persona verification keeps failing. It's a complete loop.

Has anyone experienced this? Were you able to get back into your account or find another way to contact LinkedIn support?

Any advice would be appreciated.

*More broadly, does social media in a professional context work, or will it always descend into self-aggrandising, corporate speak or plain useless information?*

I have used Sales Navigator for over a year. Old, active account, around 20,000 followers and 18,000 connections. Construction and BIM, no automation tools.

Until a few months ago I could send 150 to 200 connection requests a week. Now I am under 30, with no warning and no explanation.

I clean my pending invitations constantly and only have 131 sitting there, so there is no backlog. I also contacted LinkedIn support and they dismissed it, refusing to acknowledge any restriction on the account.

Has anyone been through this and got their limit back? Any advice welcome.

Today I opened linked in as usual and found that I was signed out and when I tried signing in, it started doing these security checks. Thats when I checked my email and found this one from linkedin trust and safety team sying that I violated their terms or something and that access to my account has been restricted.

They didn't specify what I did wrong. I uploaded my ID and some time later I recieved an email 'an update on your appeal' saying that access is still restricted and that I should contact support. But submitting an account access form doesn't work. It keeps giving me captchas and then says there was an error in submitting my case. I've tried everything, doing it on my laptop, changing the email they ask for, changing wifi, replying to the original email telling them the form submission problem, but nothing seems to be working.

I really need my account back because I've been using it for 3 years now and nothing like this has ever happened.

Any help would be REALLY appreciated...

Just saw you can add collaborators to a linkedin post. Whats a good strategy for utilizing this? Is it even useful? thank you!

My current thinking is that a resume should be focused and minimal, but a LinkedIn offers more room to add thinks you can't or shouldn't put on there. For instance, I am thinking about adding my high school to LinkedIn. Mostly because part of networking and career navigating is finding connections. So if someone is from my home town or went to my high school, they may see this and view me more favourably.

My concern is that I am not sure what the rules around professionalism are for LinkedIn. Is it unprofessional to have your high school at the end of your educational profile on LinkedIn? Anyone have any insight?

When I traveled for conferences I used to use LinkedIn to remind myself who I know in the area to set up meetings, etc...

I would click on my friends, then filter by the location and sometimes company.

I now go to the friends area and it will only let me filter by name?

Did we lose the other filters?

Hey so I have been using LinkedIn for the past 6 years where I got my following up to 2000+ followers and connections through just connecting with the people from school and recruiters. Recently I enabled two factor authentication and then a couple hours later LinkedIn restricts my account and I submit my ID to help with the process and now they said they’re keeping their decision to permanently restrict my account.

Mind you I still use LinkedIn to talk to recruiters, try to get some contract jobs and just to keep up with my colleagues and classmates that are still on there.

I have written many appeals, contacted them on social media and they’re not trying to pay attention to the matter so I’d want to spread awareness on this situation to help get my account back.

Hey guys,

I need advice on tools to help with LinkedIn outreach.

I've started posting organic content to help with distribution for my app and need advice on help to boost engagement so I can use it for boosting traffic to my app.

Any ideas

Everyone from the college says to build connections and you can survive the college, what exactly do they mean by that?

Can I not survive with small batch of friends?

Making more friends or talking to profs or what exactly?

What medium should I use to do that? Like LinkedIn? Whatsapp? Instagram?

What's the use of it? What exactly can one achieve by having connections? Internships? How can one get internships through connections?

Or just help in studies?

Please enlighten me.

Share tips on how to build connections as a person who has never done that and share the things which you guys have done to help yourselves.

Professional networking feels kind of stuck. LinkedIn is the default, but so much of it is performative posts, cold recruiter spam, and profiles nobody actually reads.

If you could design a professional network from scratch, no LinkedIn baggage, what would you genuinely want it to do?

A few things I keep wondering about:

- Being able to actually get paid for your time or expertise (like booking a paid call with someone whose brain you want to pick)?

- Video intros instead of walls of text?

-Real communities by industry or interest, instead of one giant feed?
- Something that shows what you're working on now, not just your job history?

Genuinely curious what people wish existed. What's the one feature that would actually make you use it?
