WRONGFUL BILLING, IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT THEM FOR FIXING THEIR MISTAKE! I would have never expected this kind of behaviour from LinkedIn, never! I thought it was a legit business working with legit manners and had to find out the worst way that they will go to extremely poorly services in order to TAKE MONEY FROM YOU! I have been using LinkedIn for many years and have subscribed the premium category twice, for some months. Never got anything from it. But this is not the issue for my review. My problem was when I decided to try the job posting service, cancelled it after 5 days, but they kept on billing me for a whole next month! Also, the price they announce is before tax and they don't say it anywhere. Seriously, I feel robbed! I tried to contact them by every means I could find (almost a day to find a way, such is their unwillingness to support their customers and correct mistakes!) and never got an answer. I truly had the idea that LinkedIn was a prestigious company and now I feel they are like a scam working behind a facade of prestige.

LinkedIn is a bunch of $#*!s. They cancelled my account for no reason other than me contacting my former coworkers to let them know my former employer was running an illegal operation. They are in cahoots with criminals.

This is a legit site used by many professionals to get connected and get jobs.
I was headhunted and also managed to get connected with many nice people here.
The premium service is not useful enough to continue, though.

Compromised
August 31, 2018

I should have wrote this awhile ago. Approximately a year ago I a noticed a colleague of mine, I will name KN from AZ, in the LinkedIn website. We were good friends. Lots of respect for one another. However, it has been 30 plus years since I have seen or spoken to him. I just confirmed knowing him on the LinkedIn website I RARELY use. I didn't leave a message.
A couple months later I get a message from KN telling me about a "shopper" job that paid well. He claimed it supplemented his retirement money well. Since I KNEW and TRUSTED KN I figured it must be legit. It wasn't! It was "go buy gift cards at WalMart". Rub off the coating on the back and take pictures and send to them". Clear SCAM!
I went to alert KN as to what was going on, and he had already written to ALL his LinkedIn contacts to alert them, IT WASN'T HIM. Someone had hacked into LinkedIn and downloaded ALL HIS CONTACTS. They then utilized this to disseminate this SCAM!
BEWARE

This site is an ideal business networking platform for anyone wanting to start, advance or enhance their business.

It has an appealing clean look, easy to navigate and a 'beautiful addictive nature', allowing employed and unemployed persons to connect with others within their industry.
I recommend reaching 500 connections. By achieving this number of connections other people will begin sending you invitations to connect. The stronger your numbers the more opportunities you receive. Post, commenting on posts and writing articles allow for potential future employers to see your worth and abilities. I have increased my network in 3 different fields allowing me to have more 'open door' possibilities.

When initiating an account here make sure you pay attention to the settings. Your cellphone and email need to be set to default and for anti-hacking purposes use the true verification option. This is still a social media platform.

This site requires constant attention from your part in terms of updating your status, posting and commenting. But the outcome is a possible job.

I believe this is a great place to build your resume and find your dream job.

Can't leave LinkedIn
August 12, 2018

Because of age and health I have tried to cancel my account with Linkedin. They still have my info up, will not take it down. I still get invites from friends, but can not close down my site. Keep in mind that they sell your info, so they lose money when you try to quit.

It's very expensive to have a premium account, and simple not worth it to have a regular one. Not worth it, as far as I'm concerned.

I tried the "free" 30 day Premium subscription & cancelled well within the 30 day deadline. However, because I had been required to provide my payment information, LinkedIn nonetheless proceeded to charge me almost $600 for a year's Premium subscription. I have repeatedly written to LinkedIn, explained the problem over & over, provided proof of payment upon request, etc., but they simply throw up more obstacles, delay, stonewall, & even out-and-out ignore me.

Education snobs
August 1, 2018

I find that people on there are educated up the Ying yang. I'm very intimidated on there. I closed my account. The people I see on there are not Blue collar. If they had something similar but not so education centric, I might join it.

You have to be very careful with Darko Popovski. He's a crook and a liar, he's stealing and blackmailing people.

We were the victim of his blackmail and we refused to pay! And now he tries to discredit us, we have to be very careful with this crook of Darko Popovski.

He lives in Macedonia and he "works" with a team of four to defraud people and companies. Report this scammer DARKO POPOVSKI!

I have the free pkg and it helps to expand my network internationally. However I wouldn't use the premium version; for what it offers, there just isn't sufficient value in it.
