LinkedInReviews 500

Very bad, they rip you off with very expensive premium fees, and you only get scammers all the time contacting you. Spent 9 years on linkedin, not even one single sale or client came. And also they block your account without any reason. Total tyrants and fake product, 0 results.

LinkedIn are scam artists who steal your money and refuse to answer to complaints
All they want to do is take your money and provide terrible service

I signed up for the additional services on LinkedIn but didn't need them, so canceled within the initial trial period. LinkedIn has charged me monthly for 18 months despite canceling the service in the allotted time, canceling my subscription completely, working with my bank, canceling my credit card twice and trying every phone number possible to speak to customer service. All the numbers are out of service, even the ones our bank has. I consider this fraudulent and am agast that this company acts so unprofessionally. No wonder there's a class action suit in California.

I set up an account and had worked on it almost 3 days during a transitioning course in the military and on the 4th day I was logged off and put on restriction until I verified my account with a source of ID. After sending in my information with my source of ID I waited and got an email on the same day that my account has been permanently restricted but won't say anything on why it was restricted due to violating a user agreement policies which I haven't violated anything. And when I was trying to figure out a way I could contact them, the only way possible is to have an account which I don't have access to.

Just trash, the search is wrong and very poor, most of the employers force you not to use the CV sender, must go on their website and waste one hour for one CV. Useless, take advantage of people jobless to defraud of their money too

This company cares nothing about its customers or users. They will not work with you and will happily tell you they cannot assist you. They have been improperly charging me for months. When I finally caught these improper charges, LinkedIn refused to refund me. I have been using their platform for over ten years, but they said they could not help me on a $300 dollar error in their system. Sadly, this platform is used by many professionals, so you may not have a proper alternative. However, it is a bad company that does not treat its customers and users fairly, and is the stereotypical company that puts $$$$ over people. Their customer service is straight out of a random seller on EBay from 2002.

My account has been temporarily restricted and no customer service I have received from last 2-3 days

After a decade I closed my account they restricted my account for no reason nor explanation. I had enough of their political narrative not professionals! They turned into crap.

I have used linkedin for long time and it is too much costly instead we have started using esyconnect.com much easy way to post a job and its completely free

I waited 10 minutes to be connected with someone in chat. He started helping me and asked be to do something which took be about 30 seconds. When I went back to chat he said he had could not wait any longer and signed off.

Useless site with useless information and I can not delete my account...

My LinkedIn account was temporarily restricted without warning. I have had the account for over 17 years and have been respectful and rarely active on it. Out of nowhere, I tried to log in and found out that I have been temporarily restricted, no reason given. I was asked to provide my ID although I felt uncomfortable doing it, decided to do it hoping I wont regret it. Not heard back, no response to my numerous emails, not a word. I had also recently opted for the premium (thank God I did not use my credit card but used PayPal) I have been able to cancel my subscription. For the first time in 17 years, I am not questioning whether I actually need LinkedIn in my life. The feeling of being controlled, almost a power trip is very unsettling for me. Reading through people's comments I now see I am not alone. I still haven't heard back, I have never posted anything on LinkedIn (ever) I merely like comments and careful of what I 'like' and be respectful yet I have been temporarily restricted and efforts to get a response to my email has been ignored. There is something about how they operate in a 'controlling' and bullish manner that makes me wonder whether this may be a blessing in disguise. I do hope someone is working in the 'underground' to come up with a better professional platform where people are treated with respect and where they have a great customer service that people can reach out to. LinkedIn may feel dominants in this space today, its just a matter of time before a better platform is launched my someone on the sideline seeing the appealing way LinkedIn currently operates. There are so many important things in life than being on a social medial platform especially the one that treats people appallingly. No employer would hold it against any candidate who doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. So if restricting my account is to 'punish' people and display power it will certainly backfire. I have lived long enough to see giant companies who felt people couldn't do without them become insignificant.

My card was charged $500 today for something I didn't authorize, no contact number or ability to speak to anyone for a full 12 hours. I finally get a reply after navigating through their confusing help portal, and the rep is refusing to refund me saying I signed up for a free trial and because it wasn't canceled they aren't going to refund me. I explained I didn't authorize the charge nor use the service in any capacity, and they still refused. Now I have to go through my bank and cancel the card to get the money back. How this company still exists is beyond me. There is no connections being made, just a bunch of scammers and spammers including the support reps.

The site is full of Scams now and the trust and safety team even rejected my report of scam to them. Unbelievable.

With the existence of LinkedIn, one is able to create a grandiose image of themselves to the world where one's list of achievements is the main measure of one's alleged greatness. But it is only fair to allow the full story of a person be known, especially when they possess such ruthless and craven attributes as does David W Compton, CEO of Alamo Fireworks. One will notice from his illustrious resume that he was at Journal Register Co for only two years. This tenure was shortly before the company closed all its weekly newspapers, one of which I served as editor. There is no doubt that David W Compton is a hatchet man and one doesn't need to be a brain trust to be a hatchet man. He was brought in to purge the division of it's employees in any way he could, no matter how unethical, no matter how brazen and no matter how fraudulent. In my case, I had brought a complaint to the state labor department against one of my employees who had committed plagerism. With a gross indifference of my case due to the dissolution of the weekly newspapers, upper management ignored it and David W Compton actually used it against me. The company offered me a meager settlement, which I refused, and the case was later heard without me for I was never notified of that resolution hearing. That, I believe, was purposely arranged by the company under the guidance of David W Compton. I have submitted this review only to round out the truth about this man who boldly displays his megalomania in LinkedIn. It's just truth in advertising.

Though a great site to network overall, the site is run by liberals who it's their way or nothing. I would only recommend this site for possible networking but not for job hunting and definitely don't share your opinion of you are a conservative.

Lost my account of 10 years and refuse to contact me back about it. Claim I can access it when I can't. Why would I lie about that?!? Incompetent fools.
