Fake accounts

LinkedIn is a place where real people build a professional community. There is no place for fake accounts. Our policies clearly state that members need to be real people who represent themselves and contribute sincerely.

Spam and scams

Millions of members share and discuss professional content on LinkedIn every day. We want these discussions to help members be more productive and successful. Our policies define a variety of behaviors not acceptable on LinkedIn. By far, the most common type of inappropriate content we take action on is spam or scam content, which includes untargeted, irrelevant, and repetitive communications or invitations, often for financial gain.
