Tell HN: LinkedIn Banned Me Out of Nowhere While Raising

Yep, I've know people where this happened. Support's answer to you was correct - they jumped through the verification hoops and got their account back.
If you cannot do that, you might want to share what is going wrong that is stopping you.

I have sent them the following explanations, but they have not replied in six days.

I’ve had two different errors:
1. It asks for my phone number, I enter it, and get: “You have reached the maximum number of attempts. Please try again at a later date.” but I never received any verification code.
2. Or I get a verification link, open it on my phone, and before I can fill anything in, I get: “Try later.”

interesting,,,can you wait 24 hrs then try again?
is there any chance a "virus, script, scheduled task" may be attempting to hijack your linkdin ? and thats why attempts are maxing out?

I have unread DMs from potential investors, people whose emails I don’t have. Friends messaged me asking why my profile disappeared. The effect? Like tossing a rock into the ocean.
The account was real. Created in March. About 50 connections, mostly YC founders, VCs, and school friends. work email, real name, real school.
And yet-gone.
Anyone had this happen before?
