Question:
Someone sent me a connection request saying they know me or work with me but I’m pretty sure they don’t. These guys shouldn’t be mis-representing them selves on line. It lowers the trust we have in “the system”. What can I do?
Answers:
- Use the Help Center link in the lower left of your screen to contact customer service.
- More serious messages that might be illegal should be emailed to abuse@linkedin.com.
http://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/146 - If it’s an invitation you can sign in to linkedin, click on the response “I Don’t Know this person”.
Once someone has received 5 IDKs, the account is restricted - My favorite method is to click the report spam button to the right of the message in your inbox.
You do have to sign in to linkedin to do this. See the picture on the right as an example.
