Is linkedin.com Safe?

When one joins Linkedin, it turns around and SPAMS *everyone* in one's address book --personal friends, family, business contacts, all e-lists one is a member of.. I am a moderator on several different lists and I consider Linkedin a malicious SPAM ite.

I had a free account and then I decided to upgrade to the premium account and pay, right after they took my money they closed it and kept my money. so I emailed them and two days later they wrote that the account is still good but they suspended my password. And that i could not get back in side my account because I had a business. I said WTF!!! you are social network for business!!!!! and I sent them another email but they never responded. Oh one more thing i had that account for over 3 months and it was OK but when i paid them money they took the money but suspended the password. What did we learn from this story? well i learned that their site is not user friendly but the important part is NEVER GET THE PREMIUM ACCOUNT!!!! and also that their costumer support is really needs to get checked for a drug test cuss they are surly smoking some good stuff.

This is a good site and a great way to build professional relationships. The only problem I have is it is not easy or straight forward to turn off emails from this site. I'm a part of several groups and it took me asking support to get all the emails turned off. Otherwise this is a great site.

WEST UNION GROUP = based in Ukraine = money laundering company = offers illegal jobs. Here one (just one of 300 postings): . . . I fell in their trap & i was lucky to escape the jail the last minute, thanks of a friend of mine who informed me, that is illegal to send money by Western Union to somebody who you do not know personally. . . . . WEST UNION GROUP has nothing to do with WESTERN UNION.
