You may reply to this case for up to 14 days Response (03/28/2026 07:07 CST) Hi V S Santhosh, I understand how frustrating it can be when the information you provided doesn't match, but I want to assure you that I'm here to help you recover your account. To assist you better, please send me your profile's web address (URL) and any other email addresses you might have used on LinkedIn. There are 2 ways to find your profile URL: Search for your name at: http://www.linkedin.com/ Go to www.google.com and type "LinkedIn" + (Your First and Last Name). For example, if your name is Fred Jones, you'd search for "LinkedIn Fred Jones". Once you've found your profile, please copy the web address from the top of your browser and paste it into your reply along with other associated email addresses you might have used on LinkedIn. Please know that while I can assist with finding your profile using a URL, I will need the correct email address associated with the account in order to proceed. I look forward to hearing from you soon, and we'll work together to resolve this! Good news! Your information has been verified. However, we found that you have more than one account on the site. As a reminder, the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies considers this a misuse of the service. I'd like to help you either merge your accounts together or close the smaller of the two accounts. Our current merge process allows me to transfer your connections over to your other LinkedIn account. However, it won't transfer pending invitations or any profile information like recommendations, endorsements, work experience, or group memberships. If you choose to merge your accounts together, I'd recommend keeping the more established account open. Since you've been verified, we'll make sure you can access the account using your current email address. To merge your accounts, please send me the following: 1. Confirm the primary email addresses registered for each account. If you don't recall the email address, please send me the URL link(s) to your account(s).  Identify the account you want to remain open as your LinkedIn account. If you choose to close one of these accounts (without merging), please provide me with the email address of the account you wish to close.  I look forward to hearing how you would like to proceed.   Regards, Navaneetha LinkedIn Trust & Consumer Support Consultant
