LinkedIn

I have nearly 16k connections. I've had many problems with my account since 2017. I paid for LinkedIn Recruiter since I'm a independent recruiter. I noticed I have messages I can't read. I had lots got foreign people from certain countries trying to connect with me. I discovered one day when I looked at who's logged in. It was not just me logged in. It would be different iPhones and locations besides Durham, NC where I live. Every time I logged into recruiter like the location would change from my Durham location to unknown location. Also happened when I downloaded Recruiter Lite on my IiPhone. Location would be a different city besides Durham. SO scary. I was harassed by foreigners online. Computer hacked. I could tell my iPhone was hacked. Always hot whenever I made phone calls. Things became physical. People figured out or took advantage of where I lived.

Despite having turned off my looking for employment settings, I continue to get multiple recommendations for jobs. I have exchanged emails with Victoria for the past five days. She doesn't answer my question about who generates these, gave me a link supposedly to my settings. It was a link to open an account. She insisted I take a screenshot even though I told her multiple times it did not work on my phone. I finally figured out on my own how to change my settings. It was simple: click on my photo which led me to my profile and then to my settings which I changed so my profile isn't available to the public. I have no idea why she couldn't just tell me that.

I joined Linkedin, a few years ago & I wished I didn't. My own family smeared my name & I almost lost it all. They believed in the smear campaign, even though I shared videos about it. They love to gossip. Many, way to many fake accts. If someone is jealous of you, they will try to ruin you. I HAVE FRAUD COMING FROM THEM IN MY OTHER ACCT & THEY HARASS. I had break ins & a good chance it came from Linkedin. Fraud is big with them. If you are sensitive do not go on this social media. They will go as far as befriend you to get free information & it's very clickist. I'm taking off all my work & then leaving. It put me in dangers, because of narcissism.

I have been trying to log into my account for more than 3 months now. I even cancelled the two step verification process because the last time I was able to get in was a nightmare. Terrible IT. You would think that a billion dollar corporation like this would have its act together but not at all! I wish I could get into my account so that I can cancel it. When you follow the steps recommend by LinkedIn it does not work. They are worse than Uber technologies not being able to reach anyone on the telephone to resolve technical issues. Totally not professional at all.

Please stay out with this Platform!!! It's the worst one that I have been encountered. It helps nothing and unpleasant feeling if you get restricted with unreasonable reasons. And I've just discovered; in fact there are so much complaints about LinkedIn that it has make this platform get its Champion status as The Worst Social Media Platform. Just google it and you will find plenty of them... And I'm glad that I am not the only one that feel the same way and do the complaint.

I have tried to cancel my premium subscription with LinkedIn two times. The first time I canceled with plenty of time to avoid another payment but was charged again anyway. So I thought that maybe there was a technical glitch that caused this so I decided to use the month of training and then cancel again a few days before the next payment was scheduled. I canceled with 3 days left. They charged me AGAIN! This is not a mistake. I have done some research online and discovered that many others have had this same experience and now it is happening to me. It is also widely known that the Linked In hack exposed their customer's sensitive information. My advice would be to stay far away from this company!

I just updated my profile; and signed up for the 30 day "premium" scam...then the bogus jobs started coming in through email - cancelled premium and deleted account. It's fake! Those job offerings are from years ago and matched to your profile as recent. Notice how you can't reply to LinkedIn directly? Not to mention all the LinkedIn connected BS SPAM email you'll deal with... Just apply through company site and use Indeed or Simplyhired (yea, I know they're linkedin).

I've been on Linkedin for over 10yrs. I just noticed today the inmail no longer works. We have to pay $30/month for just 3 inmails per month. $9/month, maybe when job seeking, but not $30. That's cruel. Sorry, too rich for my bank account. I'll stick with the old way of networking. In person, external emails and phone calls.

I’ve used Linked-in recruiter for a few years. I purchased job slots and a recruiter license which we have paid tens of thousands of dollars for. LinkedIn makes it very difficult to share resumes with hiring managers. This year to streamline things since I am very busy and downloading and saving every resume to my desktop just so I can email them to a hiring manager (I’m HR) is time consuming, I shared my personal login and password so that the manager could scroll through the resumes and just let me know who they would like to interview. I received emails from Linked-in making me feel like a criminal for doing that. I was told I needed to pay more money to be able to “collaborate” with others. I was also told that, me and the hiring manager needed to go through a process of resetting our login information and then report back to them when we are finished so that we come off their violation list.

I lost my job and used LinkedIn which charges $29.99. I used all the connections, etc recommended actions to find a job. LinkedIn Does Not work!! All it is a media for recruiter and marketers to scan people. Also, is crazy how LinkedIn uses us all to Their business. Years ago, I can find a job without LinkedIn and so can everyone. So I found a job and Not from LinkedIn! Or any connections with LinkedIn. Then after I am done paying my Premium. There's free learning course, LinkedIn starts to bill me. Go figure.
