The following LinkedIn profiles below have been reported to LinkedIn support team but they have not been dealt with as they suggested they would. They might have a photograph that is not in line with the Terms and Conditions set by LinkedIn or they might be using a fake profile name. But the worst of them all are the scammers, proof has been provided to Linkedin Support but nothing has been done to stop them.

Read the LinkedIn User Agreement T&C
Here are the salient points raised to LinkedIn to deal with these profiles.
8. LinkedIn “DOs” and “DON’Ts.”
8.1. Dos. You agree that you will:
- Comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, privacy laws, intellectual property laws, anti-spam laws, export control laws, tax laws, and regulatory requirements;
- Provide accurate information to us and keep it updated;
- Use your real name on your profile;
- Use the Services in a professional manner.
8.2. Don'ts. You agree that you will not:
- Act dishonestly or unprofessionally, including by posting inappropriate, inaccurate, or objectionable content;
- Add content that is not intended for, or inaccurate for, a designated field (e.g. submitting a telephone number in the “title” or any other field, or including telephone numbers, email addresses, street addresses or any personally identifiable information for which there is not a field provided by LinkedIn);
- Use an image that is not your likeness or a head-shot photo for your profile;
- Create a false identity on LinkedIn;
- Misrepresent your current or previous positions and qualifications;
- Misrepresent your affiliations with a person or entity, past or present;
- Misrepresent your identity, including but not limited to the use of a pseudonym;
- Create a Member profile for anyone other than yourself (a real person);
Why does LinkedIn not follow its own rules and deal with each account breaching the terms and conditions if a user has reported them?
Are they worried their share price will fall based on the lack of exactly how many real users/subscribers they have?
Take a look at the cast of characters below, they clearly don't add any value to LinkedIn, so is it really about the numbers or do they just not have the capability of managing this issue? What are they doing with all the money made from the IPO? Oh that's right, acquisitions instead of reinvesting in the platform to ensure these profiles can't get through.
If instagram, Facebook & Twitter can purge Fake users why can't LinkedIn?
Imagine these are just the ones that have been ignored through reporting, you don't have to look far to find scammers hiding in Groups being protected by LinkedIn whilst they clearly are ripping off unsuspecting people on what is reportedly a professional network!
Beware and Be Warned!
