Bad actors may use a practice called phishing to try to obtain your sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, and credit card or bank information. These bad actors impersonate legitimate companies or people, sending emails and links that attempt to direct you to false websites, or infect your computer with malware. They may also impersonate collection attempts to seek payment on fraudulent invoices.
Here are some essential best practices to ensure the safety and security of our valued clients.
- Email verification: LinkedIn will never ask you for your password or ask you to download any programs, and all legitimate communications around payments or accounts will come from our official domains listed below.
Please only accept emails and invoices for Corporate Purchases originating from the following domain: examples@linkedin.com. Any communications received from domains outside of <@linkedin.com> should be treated as inaccurate and potentially fraudulent. We strongly advise against remitting any payments associated with such communications.
Important to know
LinkedIn has several other email domains for consumer services and online products, which are determined by our email service provider (ESP). We can assure you that emails from linkedin_support@cs.linkedin.com, linkedin@e.linkedin.com, and linkedin@el.linkedin.com are not phishing emails.
- Banking information confirmation: Be vigilant and note that you will never receive updated banking information along with your invoice. To confirm the accuracy of our banking information, please refer to the LinkedIn Bank Letter page.
- Invoice validation in LinkedIn Admin Center: If you have purchased contracts for Hiring, Learning, and Sales Nav Advanced, you can log in to Admin Center to review transactions and invoices to confirm payment details. LinkedIn plans to roll out Admin Center to more customers in the future.
We understand the importance of maintaining a secure environment for our clients, and we appreciate your cooperation in adopting these precautionary measures. If you have questions regarding whether your invoice is legitimate, you can chat in with us or create a ticket at https://www.linkedin.com/help/billing.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we remain committed to ensuring a safe and trustworthy experience for all our clients on LinkedIn.
