I have had an account for ?? years.. decades, probably. In recent months something arose through which they said they said login attempts from one or more different locations, and for security reasons they had temporarily suspended my account. In order to restore my account... and this is what gets me... they need me to send them an image of my government-issued ID!! And, this is just the first step toward restoring my account.
??!!??
There is no way on the face of the earth that I am going to send them a copy of my Georgia ID just to get my LinkedIn account up and going.
And, no, this isn't a scam attempt. I encounter this just by simply trying to log in to the site... not doing so from a provided link nor anything like that.
I've never heard of any social media requiring government ID to verify identity.
Lastly... if I try to reach customer support to speak/chat with someone, THEY REQUIRE ME TO FIRST LOG IN... and I can't!
