In case your LinkedIn account gets suspended, here's what to do

Posted by: "mgrey" maurene.grey@grey-consulting.com   maurenegrey

Wed Nov 3, 2010 11:17 am (PDT)



When I tried to log into my LinkedIn account yesterday, I got a message that said my account was "suspended," and I should contact Customer Service. The Customer Service link led me to a message form.

Two messages and several VMs to LinkedIn customer service later, I decided to speak with a human at LinkedIn. Here's what to do:

Call 650-687-3600 and press 0 to speak with an operator. Tell her that you've left voice mails at the customer service number and have sent emails ... and have had no responses. She'll connect you with a human customer service representative.

The human customer service representative will ask for your email address and send you a message. Respond to the message and include the words "I agree to LinkedIn's terms." Failure to type that sentence means that your account will not be reactivated. What did I do wrong for my account to be suspended? I don't know and really don't care. BL--my account is active again.

I share this under the "Information Sharing Act of 2010."
